8th Grade Momentum and Collisions Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Momentum is mass times velocity, and in a collision or push the total momentum before equals the total momentum after. There are 3 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Momentum When an Astronaut Pushes Off in Space solves for velocities in orbit, Momentum in Bumper Car Collisions uses plus and minus signs for direction, and Bike Helmet Foam and Collision Force finds average force from stopping time. The sheets practice MS-PS2-1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Multiply mass in kilograms by velocity in meters per second to get kg·m/s. Direction matters, so the bumper car sheet uses plus for right and minus for left. Total momentum is the sum of each object's momentum.
