Open Response Question: BE SURE TO ANSWER AND LABEL ALL PARTS OF EACH QUESTION. The picture below shows five ring magnets that are stacked around a pencil. When the pencil is held upright, the magnets do not touch, but appear to be suspended in the air. When the magnets are pushed closer together, they quickly return to their original positions. a. Explain why the magnets are not touching each other and appear to be suspended in air. b. Describe what would happen if the pencil were taken away. The magnets were then rearranged so they stacked around the pencil as shown below. c. Explain how the magnets were rearranged on the pencil so that they stacked directly on top of each other as shown. d. Describe what would happen if the pencil were taken away.
