Jerome puts two magnetic vehicles very close to each other. What will happen next, and why?
a The magnetic vehicles will not move because the magnets are not touching.
b The magnetic vehicles will move closer to each other because the magnetic force will pull the vehicles together.
c The magnetic vehicles will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the vehicles apart.
d The magnetic vehicles will move away from each other because the magnets are not touching.

The correct answer is: b The magnetic vehicles will move closer to each other because the magnetic force will pull the vehicles together.
Explanation: Magnets have a magnetic field that extends around them, even when they are not touching. If the two magnetic vehicles are positioned such that their opposite poles are facing each other (e.g., north pole of one to south pole of another), the magnetic force will attract them, causing them to move closer together.
