Question

1 in this video, a person holds a magnet near a toy car. which of these statements best describes the effect of the magnet on the car?
a the magnet changes the direction of the car by touching it
b the magnet appears to push and pull the car without touching it
c one side of the magnet makes the car move but the other side doesnt
d one side of the magnet makes the car move faster than the other does

Explanation:

Magnets exert non-contact forces (magnetic forces) that can attract or push magnetic materials without direct physical contact. The video demonstrates this interaction between the magnet and the toy car. Option A is incorrect because the magnet doesn't touch the car. Options C and D are incorrect as both poles of a magnet can exert force (attract or repel, depending on the car's magnetic properties), not just one side affecting movement.

Answer:

B. The magnet appears to push and pull the car without touching it
