The ability to make things move or change

Energy

300
Two repelling magnets that are closer together will repel___________ than magnets further apart. 

Better or more

300

Ch 3 Question: Why was there so much more ____________________ stored in the launcher system on Wednesday than on Tuesday?

Potential energy

400

The pattern of magnetic field lines around attracting magnets is ____________ from the pattern of magnetic field lines around repelling magnets.

Different
