This resource turns energy and motion of pendulums into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 AP Physics, covering the same idea from three different angles.

Students will answer questions such as "During a complete swing of a pendulum, how does total mechanical energy change?", "If a pendulum has a length of 1 m, what is its period in seconds? (Use g = 9.81 m/s²)?", and "At what point in its swing does a pendulum have maximum potential energy?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions
• 6 print ready PDF files, 27 pages in total

Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.

Ways to Use This Resource

• Self checking practice, since every answer key includes explanations
• Warm up review before a problem solving session
• Bell ringers and warm ups during the unit
• First look diagnostic to plan your unit
• No prep cover lesson for a substitute teacher

This set is part of a complete AP Physics unit. The unit also covers Damped Oscillations Qualitative, Energy Conservation in SHM, Modeling Simple Harmonic Motion, Simple Pendulum Period and Small, Springs, Hooke's Law, and Amplitude, Phase, and Energy, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.

Suitable for Grade 9-12 AP Physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year.
