In this momentum worksheet, students use the equation for momentum to describe an object's motion. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

In this projectile motion worksheet, 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...

In this momentum instructional activity, students review the equations for finding momentum using the mass and speed. They solve eighteen problems using the equation for momentum to find the unknown.

In this accident reconstruction worksheet, learners use trigonometry and vectors to determine the speeds of automobiles in a car accident.  They compute the speed at which a car skidded before a crash.  This one-page worksheet...

Ninth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating what happens when a train hits a car using easily accessible materials. They calculate momentum, velocity, and distance using the appropriate formulas. Then they write an incident report...

Ninth graders research weapons of the Aboriginal people and throw a dart with and without the use of an atlatl. For this cross curricular lesson, 9th graders research the weapons of the Aboriginal people. They throw darts with and...

In this Newton's Laws worksheet, students solve 4 problems using Newton's Laws. Students explain their work and calculations using Newton's Laws and equations.

Run like a cheetah. A performance task challenges pupils to solve several different problems involving the speed of a cheetah. Given information for scenarios where the cheetah chases its prey, they determine if the big cat is fast enough.

A 15-page package thoroughly teaches your physics or astronomy learners about Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Each one is stated and explained. Class members answer questions, solve problems, and participate in the classic...

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite a word problem using algebraic symbols. They calculate the distance flown before the impact of the two objects occurs. An answer key is provided.

In this momentum worksheet, students solve 11 problems including finding initial and final momentum of objects, finding velocity of objects, determining kinetic energy before and after collisions and finding final speeds of moving objects.
