A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its speed increases. What can you say about the kinetic energy of the spaceship?
The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases.
Ramon puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why?
The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.
Based on the magnetic field line diagrams, what will happen next with these two magnets?
They will attract
In a computer simulation, Jeffrey moves a magnet (Magnet 2) toward another magnet (Magnet 1) that cannot move. What happens to the potential energy in the system of magnets?
The potential energy increases because Magnet 2 moves against the magnetic force.
What happens to the energy in a system of magnets when the magnetic force causes two magnets to move?
Some potential energy changes into kinetic energy.
Eli is holding two magnets close to each other. What will happen when he lets go?
The magnets will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the magnets apart.
Based on the magnetic field line diagram, what will happen next with these two magnets?
They will repel
Abdul moves a magnetic toy train away from a magnet that cannot move. 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.
A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its kinetic energy decreases. What is most likely to be true about the speed of the spaceship?
The speed decreases as the kinetic energy decreases.
Julia puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why?
The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.
Based on the magnetic field line diagram, what will happen next with these two magnets?
They will attract
In a computer simulation, Juan moves a magnet (Magnet 1) closer to another magnet (Magnet 2) that cannot move. Which statement accurately describes the change in potential energy?
The potential energy increases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force.
How does magnetic force affect the energy in a system of magnets when the magnets are released and begin to move?
The magnetic force changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
Sharona puts two magnetic toy vehicles very close to each other. What will happen next, and why?
The toy vehicles will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the toy vehicles apart.
Based on the magnetic field line diagram, what will happen next with these two magnets?
They will repel
Trevor moves a magnetic toy train away from a magnet that cannot move. 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.
