What happens to the potential energy in the system of magnets during the movement?
The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force.
The potential energy decreases because the train moves against the magnetic force.
The potential energy decreases because the train moves in the same direction as the magnetic force.
The potential energy does not change because the magnets in the system do not change.
Dylan puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why?
The trains will not move because the magnets are not touching.
The trains will move closer to each other because the magnetic force will pull the trains together.
The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.
The trains will move away from each other because the magnets are not touching.
Which movement will result in the largest increase in potential energy?
Moving the Car 2 one space toward the center magnet.
Moving the Car 1 one space away from the center magnet
Moving the Car 1 car one space toward the center magnet.
All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a car the same distance.
Which movement will result in the largest increase in potential energy?
Moving Car 2 one space toward the center magnet.
Moving Car 2 one space away from the center magnet.
Moving Car 1 one space away from the center magnet.
All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a roller coaster car the same distance.
In order to increase the potential energy (PE) in two attracting, what must happen?
You must place the two attracting magnets FURTHER AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
You must place the two repelling magnets CLOSER TOGETHER.
In order to increase the potential energy (PE) in two repelling, what must happen?
You must place the two attracting magnets FURTHER AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
You must place the two repelling magnets CLOSER TOGETHER.
Magnetic field lines change for attracting magnets and repelling magnets.
True
False
In attracting magnets.....
The field lines connect from one pole to the other pole of the same magnet.
The field lines connect from one pole to an opposite pole of another magnet.
Always connect north to south
In repelling magnets.....
The field lines connect from one pole to the other pole of the same magnet.
The field lines connect from one pole to an opposite pole of another magnet.
Always connect north to south
What causes magnets to be able to move objects and/or other magnets?
A force
Energy
Magnetic field
Potential energy
Energy in a magnet comes from the magnetic field. The magnetic field contains potential energy that will then be converted to kinetic energy to be able to move other object and/or magnets.
True
False
