The energy being gained by the car is kinetic energy. As the metal wheels of the car turn and the car moves closer to the magnet due to the magnetic force, the car is gaining motion, which corresponds to kinetic energy.
An experiment modeled the interaction between magnetic force and the change of energy of an object influenced by the magnetic force. The experiment’s researchers observed that the metal wheels of a small car turned as they experienced the force exerted by a magnetic field, drawing the car closer to the magnet. What energy is being gained by the car?(1 point)
