Two donut-shaped magnets are stacked on top of each other with a dowel rod through their centers. The north poles of the magnets are facing each other, and a heavy weight is placed on top. The weight is then removed, and the magnets are free to move. Which statement accurately describes the kinetic energy of the system?(1 point)
1 answer
The kinetic energy of the system will increase as the magnets move apart due to the repulsive force between their like poles.
