Amplify Magnetic Fields

Front

What happens when two magnets with opposite poles are brought close together?

Back

The magnets will attract each other.

Front

What is the definition of 'attract' in the context of magnets?

Back

To pull objects toward one another.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy that is stored in an object or system.

Front

How does speed affect kinetic energy?

Back

The kinetic energy increases as speed increases.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and potential energy in a magnetic field?

Back

Potential energy increases as an object moves closer to a magnet.

Front

What happens when two magnets with the same poles are brought close together?

Back

The magnets will repel each other.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

If a roller coaster car moves away from a magnet, what happens to its potential energy?

Back

The potential energy decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the mass of an object on its kinetic energy?

Back

Increasing the mass increases the kinetic energy if the speed remains constant.
