Imagination is more important than getting knowledge.
Since no one has given an explanation yet, I’ll step up.
If the magnet sits still next to the copper, nothing interesting happens. If the magnetic field is changing, however, it induces a current in the copper. These are called ‘eddy currents.’ Ever heard of an electromagnet? When you run current though a wire, it generates a magnetic field. These eddy currents do the same and just happen to generate a strong enough magnetic field to perfectly cancel the momentum of the magnet, dissipating its energy into ohmic heating of the copper. Mother Nature is truly beautiful when it comes to electromagnetism.
it’s not *ferro*magnetic.
Fun fact: some roller coasters make use of this property to slow the cars down.
Eddy currents?

_Resistance_, without further explanation, is perhaps an unfortunate choice of word, as it might sound as if you’re talking about the electrical resistance.
Lenz’s law son.
So we should build front bumpers out of solid copper and
rear bumpers out of strong magnets

It honestly looks like there is an invisible force field.
In a moving strong magnetic field.
You need moving magnetic fields to induce eddy currents, which produce counter-acting magnetic fields.
This got freebooted really fast.

Is copper used inside magnetic suspension?
You Shall not Pass!!!!!!
THISSSS IZZ SPARTT….
Why doesn’t the copper move at all?
So in theory if magnetic stabilized plasma weapons became a thing copper armor would be ideal?
