SC PASS 6TH SCIENCE REVIEW #2

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. For example, a pendulum at its highest point has maximum potential energy.

Front

At which point in a pendulum's swing is potential energy greatest?

Back

At the highest point of the swing.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

At which point in a pendulum's swing is kinetic energy greatest?

Back

At the lowest point of the swing.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Front

Give an example of a biotic factor interacting with an abiotic factor in an ecosystem.

Back

A wolf drinks from a stream.

Front

What is an ecosystem?

Back

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (biotic factors) interacting with their physical environment (abiotic factors).

Front

What is an example of an abiotic factor?

Back

Sunlight, water, temperature, and soil are examples of abiotic factors.

Front

What is an example of a biotic factor?

Back

Plants, animals, and microorganisms are examples of biotic factors.

Front

What happens to energy when a ball is thrown into the air?

Back

As the ball rises, kinetic energy is converted to potential energy until it reaches its highest point.
