Amplify Magnetic Fields

Front

Dylan puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why?

Back

The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.

Front

Dakota moves a magnetic toy train toward a magnet that cannot move. What happens to the potential energy in the system of magnets during the movement?

Back

The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force.

Front

Which movement will increase the potential energy in the system the most?

Back

Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the left (←).

Front

Francisco is holding two magnets close to each other. What will happen when he lets go?

Back

The magnets will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the magnets apart.

Front

In a computer simulation, Noni moves a magnet (Magnet 1) away from another magnet (Magnet 2) that cannot move. Which statement accurately describes the change in potential energy?

Back

The potential energy increases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force.

Front

Which movement of the magnetic roller coaster cars will result in the largest increase in potential energy?

Back

Moving the Car 1 car one space toward the center magnet.

Front

Cecilia puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why?

Back

The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.

Front

Based on the magnetic field line diagrams, what will happen next with these two sets of magnets?

Back

The magnets in Set 1 will repel, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract.

Front

A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its speed increases. What can you say about the kinetic energy of the spaceship?

Back

The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases.

Front

What happens to the energy in a system of magnets when the magnetic force causes two magnets to move?

Back

Some potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
