Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy that is stored in an object or system due to its position or arrangement.

Front

What happens to Potential Energy when a magnetic object moves closer to a magnet?

Back

The Potential Energy increases as the object moves closer to the magnet.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How does magnetic force affect Kinetic Energy in a system of magnets?

Back

The magnetic force can change Potential Energy into Kinetic Energy when magnets are released and begin to move.

Front

What occurs when two magnets with the same poles face each other?

Back

The magnets will repel each other, pushing away from one another.

Front

What occurs when two magnets with opposite poles face each other?

Back

The magnets will attract each other, pulling towards one another.

Front

What is the relationship between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy in a magnetic system?

Back

Potential Energy can be converted into Kinetic Energy when magnets move due to magnetic forces.

Front

What is the effect of distance on Potential Energy in a magnetic system?

Back

As the distance between a magnet and a magnetic object decreases, the Potential Energy increases.

Front

What happens to two magnetic toy trains placed close to each other?

Back

If they have the same poles facing each other, they will move away from each other due to repulsion.

Front

What is the role of magnetic force in a magnetic roller coaster?

Back

Magnetic force can either attract or repel the cars, affecting their Potential and Kinetic Energy.
