The area in which magnetic forces act
What is a magnetic field?
The energy of storage
What is potential energy?
The two sides of a magnet where the forces are strongest
What are the poles?
A way to see the magnet forces running from pole to pole
What are the magnetic field lines?
The way potential energy in a magnet field increases or decreases as magnets are moved
What is exponentially?
The process of turning potential energy into kinetic energy
What is convert?
The poles that attract
What are opposite poles (north and south)?
The direction in relation to the force that moving a magnet will increase the potential energy in a magnet system
A way to increase the potential energy in a magnet system without moving the magnets
What is using a bigger magnet?
A measure of the kinetic energy in a moving object
What is speed (velocity)?
The poles that repel
What are the like poles (same, north to north and south to south)?
The change in the potential energy in the linked magnet fields after the movement
What is increasing?
The change in potential energy when the magnet is moved
What is increasing?
The car that will have the greatest speed when the brakes are released
What is the orange car?
The direction the trains will move
What is away from eachother?
The change in the potential energy of the linked magnetic fields after the movement
What is decreasing?
The magnet with the most potential energy if they are both moved one space closer to the center magnet
What is the pink magnet?
If this decreases, kinetic energy also decreases
What is speed?
The direction the magnets will move in set 2
