Answer

The moving magnet induces a current in the coil.

Work Step by Step

This induced current produces a field that repels the magnet as it approaches, and attract it after it passes through, in both cases slowing it down. From an energy standpoint of view, the induced current heats the coil. This energy ultimately comes from the kinetic energy of the moving magnet, which must slow down.
