Have you ever wanted to shoot someone out of a canon? This simulation gives you that chance! In addition to a human, you can shoot a car, a piano, a cannon ball, and many other items. Scholars set the angle, initial speed, mass, air...

Seven pages with 33 multiple choice questions about motion make up this worksheet. Calculations must be performed in order to choose the correct answer. Physics majors will solve for angles, displacement, acceleration, speed, and time...

In this science learning exercise, students take part in an experiment that examines the motion of a projectile and measures things like velocity or direction.

Horizontal and vertical speeds change as projectiles move through space. As part of a series on vectors and projectiles, scholars create vector diagrams to compare these speeds at various locations. They they determine the values for...

In this projectile motion activity, students solve 3 problems and an inquiry problem using three equations that describe projectile motion. One equation is for the maximum velocity to reach a height, H, the other is the maximum...

Give every type of learner in your physics class an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the year. From analyzing tables and graphs to evaluating diagrams and solving problems, there is an outstanding variety of...

In this physics instructional activity, students model the position, velocity and acceleration using mathematical formulas and a computer program. Then they interpret the parameters in each of the models. Students also complete the...

In this motion learning exercise, students will match 5 physics vocabulary words relating to motion with their definitions. Then, they will review 9 statements of different motion scenarios to determine is the statement is true or false....

In this physical science worksheet, students complete 6 questions about forces in motion in the form of word puzzles, poems, riddles, scrambles, and brain teasers.

For this acceleration and velocity worksheet, students are given a table to complete with position, velocity and acceleration. They draw sketched and vectors of each condition and write a verbal interpretation of the motions. They also...

Archery is believed to be one of the oldest sports in the world at more than 25,000 years old—meaning it can teach your classes a lot! Scholars learn about the forces interacting in the archery simulation. They control the archer's...

Analyze the flight of a thrown ball. Learners determine the maximum height of a thrown ball and the time it takes to hit the ground given its initial speed. They continue to review different scenarios with different maximums or...

A total of 29 word problems furnish practice in solving for work, energy, and force. A few of the questions display diagrams to help learners visualize the systems, and all of them list five choices from which they select the correct...

Fire in the hole! Thrill your classes as they see what it's like to fire a cannon ball. Scholars practice aiming a cannon ball by altering first the firing angle, then the velocity, and finally both simultaneously. Can they discover the...

Stop wasting energy searching for physics resources, this comprehensive collection of worksheets has you covered. Starting with introductions to the scientific method, dimensional analysis, and graphing data, these skills practice...

Preparing for an AP test is about more than bubble sheets and memorization. The two activities in this resource require a direct application of skills learned throughout an AP Physics course.

Most water fountains are designed to keep the water inside the fountain, but how are they designed to shoot up and out without the water leaving the fountain? Scholars vary the launch angle, fountain height, launch speed, and...

Scholars must understand freefall before they learn how objects like airplanes fly. They apply knowledge of velocity and acceleration to predict speed and direction as part of a larger series on vectors and projectiles.

In this physics worksheet, students identify and locate vocabulary terms related to high school physics motion, including projectile motion. There are 46 words located in the puzzle.

What would a baseball game look like on the moon? Probably a lot of home runs! A creative activity explores the motion of a projectile on the surface of different bodies in the solar system. Participants adjust the angle and...

In this rocket launch worksheet, students solve 3 problems about the Ares 1X rocket and its launch, trajectory, and motion in both the vertical and horizontal direction.

In this motion worksheet, students draw and label the trajectory of objects including the x-component and y-component of the velocity. Students calculate acceleration and speed. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

To the point and deeper thinking are both types of questions included in the worksheet. Begin the practice of solving quadratics and then finish with five questions asking quadratic and exponential application problems. 

[Free Registration/Login Required] Use the interactive diagram to solve a projectile motion problem. After the activity, answer a challenge question to check for understanding.
