The energy of movement

kinetic energy

100

What is a natural metal that can interact with magnets?

Iron
100

The two sides of a magnet where the forces are strongest

the poles

200

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.

200

DOUBLE POINTS - The place where potential energy is stored in a system of magnets.

magnetic field

200

The process of turning potential energy into kinetic energy

transfer

200

one of the two opposite ends of a magnet

magnetic pole

200

The poles that attract

What are opposite poles (north and south)?

300

When a magnet is moved in a certain direction against a force, the potential energy of the magnet system

increases

300

A way to increase the potential energy in a magnet system without moving the magnets

Stronger magnet

300

DOUBLE POINTS - The unit that measures potential or kinetic energy in an object?

Joules or kJ (J)

300

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.

300

The poles that repel

What are the like poles (same, north to north and south to south)?

400

The change in the potential energy in the magnetic fields after the movement

Increasing

400

The change in potential energy when the magnet is moved

Increasing

400

The car that will have the greatest speed when the brakes are released

The orange car

400

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

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

400

What direction will the trains move?

away from each other

500

The change in the potential energy if the car is moved toward the locked magnet.

Decreasing

500

The magnet with the most potential energy if they are both moved one space closer to the center magnet

the pink magnet

500

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.

500

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.

500

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

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