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? (1 point) Responses Kinetic energy is at its peak when the magnets are first released, then it decreases steadily. Energy stored in the magnetic field becomes zero. 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 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. 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. 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.
is this answer right?
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Allow me to clarify:
When the magnets are first released, the potential energy stored in the magnetic field is at its maximum. As the magnets move towards each other, this potential energy is gradually converted into kinetic energy, reaching its peak when the magnets collide. Therefore, the correct answer should be:
The velocity and kinetic energy of the system increase as the energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.
The correct answer is:
Kinetic energy is at its peak when the magnets are first released, then it decreases steadily. Energy stored in the magnetic field becomes zero.
