Discussion
Amanda fixes magnets at positions x=−5cm and x=5cm. Then, she measures the force F applied to a third magnet at different positions. She plots her data on the graph below (negative positions and forces point toward Magnet 1, positive positions and forces point toward Magnet 2).
Describe a curve that could be used to model force as a function of position.
