Momentum Worksheet | KS3 / KS4 Physics Calculations and Conservation

This physics worksheet helps students deepen their understanding of momentum through structured calculation-based problems and conceptual questions. Aimed at Key Stage 3 and 4 learners, it is ideal for use in a 35–45 minute lesson, homework assignment, or revision session. The sheet supports calculator use and includes realistic application scenarios involving cars, footballs, collisions, and everyday objects.

Learners are guided to calculate momentum using p=mv, work with unit conversions, and apply the principle of conservation of momentum to elastic and inelastic collisions. The tasks progress from basic calculations to more complex, multi-step problems involving changes in momentum, system mass, and relative motion. Situations include objects bouncing off surfaces, falling from moving vehicles, and post-collision velocities for combined or separate masses.

This worksheet is ideal for building fluency with the momentum formula, reinforcing Newtonian physics concepts, and linking theory with practical contexts. A complete answer sheet can be included for self-assessment or teacher marking.

Key concepts include linear momentum, conservation of momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions, mass-velocity relationships, and unit handling in physics calculations.

KS3/4 Physics Worksheet Bundle

This bundle provides printable PDF worksheets for most major topics encountered by students in KS3/early KS4 Physics, covering key topics such as: * Energy * Momentum * Speed, Distance and Time * Units of Measure * Specific Heat Capacity * Magnets and Electromagnets * Basic Series Circuits and Power * The Universe * Density and Volume * Hooke's Law (and Elasticity) * Turning Moments * Optics (Reflection, Refraction, Lenses) * Pressure * Light and Sound Waves * + Free definitions resource The worksheets are all designed to take between 40-55 minutes (though individual sheets vary) and all include a mixture of short and long calculation, short and long answer and exam style problems for in class work, revision, homework or assessment. Answers are provided as an additional sheet at the end of each PDF - shorter, easier questions have bottom line solutions provided however longer, more involved questions have solutions and guidance. The sheets start simple however progress in difficulty throughout, testing all abilities. The sheets are suitable for early KS4 and 'challenge' questions are provided to test those students who need something a bit more involved to keep them busy. Some sheets are listed as KS3 instead of KS3/4 - these sheets may cover a topic at a KS3 level only, and may not be relevant for the complexity added for GCSE, though this is only the case for 2 of the worksheets in the bundle. All of the worksheets provided in this bundle can be bought **individually** in my shop however this bundle gives you access to all of them nearly 30% off!
