Part 1: A magnetic levitation or maglev train rides rails without touching them. Explain how this works using your data. Include the appropriate magnet drawing in your answer. Part 2: Two objects are near a bar magnet. One is about 1 cm away, while the other is 6 cm away. Compare and contrast the magnetic force that affects each object. Use your data to answer the question

1.) Attractive and repulsive properties of the magnetic poles

2.) The magnetic force of the object 1 cm away will be 36 times stronger than the magnetic force of the object that is 6 cm away.

Explanation:

1.) Magnetic Levitation vehicles don't require engine neither do they consume fuel. They are high speed vehicles that are lifted by magnetic repulsion, and propagate along an elevated guideway by strong powerful magnets attached to the vehicle without no physical contact with the guideway.

Maglev vehicles are raised off the track when it levitates by magnetic attraction, in which levitation  magnets on the underside of the guideway attract the opposite poles of magnets on the wrap around section of the  maglev.

2.) Magnetic force obeys an inverse square law with distance.

The magnetic force of the object 1 cm away will be 36 times stronger than the magnetic force of the object that is 6 cm away. Because the magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.
