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)

Question

Responses

kinetic energy
kinetic energy

electrical energy

Answer 1

In the described experiment, the metal wheels of the small car are turning as they are influenced by the magnetic force, which indicates that the car is gaining energy in the form of motion. This type of energy is known as kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct response is:

kinetic energy.
