A student places two horseshoe magnets next to each other, and the

Question

poles of the magnets attach to each other. How does the kinetic
energy of the system change? (1 point)
Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the opposite
direction of the field.
Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the direction
of the field.
Kinetic energy decreases because the magnets move in the
direction of the field.
Kinetic energy decreases because the magnets move in the
opposite direction of the field.

Answer 1

Kinetic energy decreases because the magnets move in the opposite direction of the field.
