Grade 8 Motion & energy worksheet in three levels

The same 20-question worksheet on motion & energy in Support, Core and Challenge versions. Question by question, each version keeps the topic and changes the difficulty.

Compare the three levels

Support

Easier questions on the same topics, for students who need more practice with the basics.

Motion & energy

Sample questions

  1. Lift a 11 kg mass vertically by 9 m. Using g = 10 m/s², find the increase in gravitational potential energy in J.
  2. Lift a 38 kg mass vertically by 9 m. Using g = 10 m/s², find the increase in gravitational potential energy in J.
  3. Velocity changes from 13 m/s to 101 m/s in 11 s. Find average acceleration in m/s².

Core

Questions at the expected level for the grade.

Sample questions

  1. A 1 kg sample has specific heat 500 J/(kg·°C). Its temperature rises 16°C with no phase change. Find the energy gained in J.
  2. A 1 kg sample has specific heat 200 J/(kg·°C). Its temperature rises 21°C with no phase change. Find the energy gained in J.
  3. A 8 kg sample has specific heat 200 J/(kg·°C). Its temperature rises 21°C with no phase change. Find the energy gained in J.

Using the three versions

  • Start everyone with the same short explanation, then hand out Support, Core or Challenge.
  • Question numbers line up across the versions, so you can go through the answers with the whole class.
  • The PDF has a cover page and each version on its own pages; the answer keys PDF has all three keys.
