Question
Two magnets are held apart. Once released, the south pole of one magnet moves toward the north pole of another magnet until the magnets collide. How does the graph reflect the changes in energy that occur?

Responses
The velocity and kinetic energy of the system increase as the energy stored in the magnetic field increases.
The velocity and kinetic energy of the system increase as the energy stored in the magnetic field increases.
The kinetic energy of the system is derived from the thermal energy created by increased velocity. Energy stored in the magnetic field does not change.
The kinetic energy of the system is derived from the thermal energy created by increased velocity. Energy stored in the magnetic field does not change.
Kinetic energy and velocity are at zero when the magnets are held apart, and both increase rapidly when they are released and move together. Energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.
Kinetic energy and velocity are at zero when the magnets are held apart, and both increase rapidly when they are released and move together. Energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.
Kinetic energy is at its peak when the magnets are first released, then it decreases steadily. Energy stored in the magnetic field becomes zero.

The correct response is:
**Kinetic energy and velocity are at zero when the magnets are held apart, and both increase rapidly when they are released and move together. Energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.**
As the magnets are released and move toward each other, the potential energy stored in the magnetic field is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in an increase in the motion (velocity) of the magnets. As they approach each other, the magnetic field energy decreases as it is transformed into the kinetic energy of the moving magnets.
