1) Two magnets are lined up with one magnet's North is facing the other magnet's South. What will happen when the magnet's are released? a) The magnets will repel each other and move towards each other. b) The magnets will attract and move away from each other. c) The magnets will repel each other and move away from each other. d) The magnets will attract each other and move towards each other.  2) Matthew puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why? a) The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart. b) The trains will not move because the magnets are not touching. c) The trains will move away from each other because the magnets are not touching.  d) The trains will move closer because the magnetic field will pull the trains together. 3) Two magnets are lined up with one magnet's North is facing the other magnet's North. What will happen when the magnet's are released? a) The magnets will repel each other and move towards each other. b) The magnets will attract and move away from each other. c) The magnets will repel each other and move away from each other. d) The magnets will attract each other and move towards each other. 4) Paula sets identical magnetic carts on two tracks. At the end of each track is a blue magnet that cannot move. Pablo can move the carts one space to the left or one space to the right. Which movement will increase the potential energy in the system the most? a) Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the left (←). b) Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the right (Ž). c) Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the left (). d) All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a cart the same distance. 5) In a computer simulation, Noah moves a magnet (Magnet 1) away from another magnet (Magnet 2) that cannot move. Which statement accurately describes the change in potential energy? a) The potential energy does not change because the magnets in the system do not change. b) The potential energy decreases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force. c) The potential energy increases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force. d) The potential energy decreases because Magnet 1 moves in the same direction as the magnetic force. 6) Mark is trying to repel his two magnets that he has. Tell Mark what he needs to do in order to have his magnets repel.  a) Mark needs to face the magnets N to S and N to S so the magnets move towards each other. b) Mark needs to face the magnets N to N and S to S so the magnets push away from each other.  c) Mark needs to face his magnets N to S and N to S so the magnets move away from each other. d) Mark needs to face the magnets N to N and S to S so the magnets move towards each other. 7) If two magnets do not have symbols or are not color coded, how can you determine if they will repel or attract? a) Check their magnetic field lines. b) Check the inside of the magnet. c) Check the color of the magnet. d) Check the symbol of the magnet. 8) Based on the magnetic field line diagrams, what will happen next with these two sets of magnets? a) In both sets, the magnets will attract. b) The magnets in Set 1 will not move, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract. c) The magnets in Set 1 will attract, and the magnets in Set 2 will repel. d) The magnets in Set 1 will repel, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract. 9) Adam moves a magnetic toy train away from a magnet that cannot move. What happens to the potential energy in the system of magnets during the movement? a) The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force. b) The potential energy decreases because the train moves in the same direction as the magnetic force. c) The potential energy decreases because the train moves against the magnetic force. d) The potential energy does not change because the magnets in the system do not change. 10) If two magnets are repelling each other, how do you increase the amount of potential energy? a) You pull the magnets apart. b) You put a weak magnet with a strong magnet. c) You put North and South together. d) You push the magnets closer together. 11) If two magnets are attracting each other, how do you increase the amount of potential energy? a) You pull the magnets apart. b) You put a weak magnet with a strong magnet. c) You put North and South together. d) You push the magnets closer together. 12) Adam moves a magnetic toy train away from a magnet that cannot move. What happens to the potential energy in the system of magnets during the movement? a) The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force. b) The potential energy decreases because the train moves in the same direction as the magnetic force. c) The potential energy decreases because the train moves against the magnetic force. d) The potential energy does not change because the magnets in the system do not change. 13) An engineer is investigating potential energy with two identical magnetic roller coaster cars on different sides of a center magnet that cannot move. To test her ideas, the engineer will move one car one space. Which movement will result in the largest increase in potential energy? a) Moving Car 1 one space toward the center magnet. b) Moving Car 2 one space toward the center magnet. c) Moving Car 2 one space away from the center magnet. d) All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a roller coaster car the same distance. 14) 8. A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its speed increases. What can you say about the kinetic energy of the spaceship? a) The kinetic energy remains the same because speed and kinetic energy are not related. b) The kinetic energy decreases as it is converted into speed. c) The kinetic energy increases as its speed increases. d) There is no way to know what happens to the kinetic energy. 15) Peter sets identical magnetic carts on two tracks. At the end of each track is a large magnet that cannot move. Peter can move the carts one space to the left or one space to the right. Which movement will increase the potential energy in the system the most? a) Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the left (←). b) Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the right (→). c) Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the left (←). d) All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a magnetic cart the same distance.
