Class 9 Science worksheets, free, one for each strand

Three free Class 9 Science worksheets - one physics, one chemistry, one biology - with every question and every calculation printed on this page rather than behind a download. Class 9 is the year the three strands finally separate, and doing these on three different days answers a question a combined Science mark could not answer since Class 6: which of the three is actually weak. Every exercise opens with one question worked through in full.

Class 9 physics is where numericals become a substantial part of the paper, and where marks start being given for how a numerical is written as well as for the answer. Every solution here is set out the way the board expects: formula first, substitution next, units on every line, answer stated. That layout is worth practising as deliberately as the physics.

  • Distinguishes distance from displacement, and speed from velocity
  • Selects the right equation of motion for the quantities given
  • Converts km/h to m/s before substituting
  • Calculates force and momentum, and applies conservation of momentum
  • Writes a numerical with formula, substitution, units and a stated answer

Exercise 1 of 3 · 8 questions

Find both the distance and the displacement.

Here’s one done for you

One lap of a 400 m track gives a distance of 400 m and a displacement of zero, because displacement is the straight line from start to finish and the athlete finished where they began. Distance asks how far you travelled; displacement asks how far you ended up from where you started. Every question in this pair is testing whether that difference is understood, and 'zero' is very often the correct and unexpected answer.

  1. 1)An athlete runs one complete lap of a circular track of length 400 m.
  2. 2)A person walks 3 m east, then 4 m north.
  3. 3)A ball is thrown 5 m up and caught again at the same point.
  4. 4)A car travels 10 km east and then 4 km west along the same road.
  5. 5)A cyclist rides 200 m north, turns and rides 200 m south.
  6. 6)A runner completes two laps of a 400 m track.
  7. 7)A lift goes up 12 m, then down 5 m.
  8. 8)A boy walks 6 m east, 8 m north, then 6 m west.

Answers

  1. 1) Distance 400 m; displacement 0, because the athlete finishes where they started.
  2. 2) Distance 7 m; displacement 5 m, from the right-angled triangle with sides 3 and 4.
  3. 3) Distance 10 m; displacement 0.
  4. 4) Distance 14 km; displacement 6 km towards the east.
  5. 5) Distance 400 m; displacement 0, because the start and finish are the same point.
  6. 6) Distance 800 m; displacement 0, because a complete lap returns to the start.
  7. 7) Distance 17 m; displacement 7 m upward.
  8. 8) Distance 20 m; displacement 8 m north - the two 6 m legs cancel.

Here’s one done for you

The train question is the one that catches people, and not because of the physics. 72 km/h must become 20 m/s before anything else happens, because the acceleration is asked for in m/s². Multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600, or divide by 3.6 - either way, do it as the first line of the solution rather than halfway through. A units mismatch is the single most common way a correct method produces a wrong answer.

  1. 1)A car starts from rest and accelerates at 2 m/s² for 5 s. Find its final velocity and the distance covered.
  2. 2)A body moving at 20 m/s decelerates uniformly and stops in 4 s. Find the acceleration and the distance covered.
  3. 3)A train travelling at 72 km/h is brought to rest in 20 s. Find its acceleration.
  4. 4)An object moving at 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s² over a distance of 10 m. Find its final velocity.
  5. 5)A stone is dropped from rest and falls for 3 s. Take g as 10 m/s². Find its velocity and the distance fallen.
  6. 6)A car starts from rest and accelerates at 4 m/s² for 6 s. Find its final speed and the distance covered.
  7. 7)A body moving at 30 m/s comes to rest in 90 m. Find its acceleration.
  8. 8)A vehicle at 54 km/h brakes to rest in 5 s. Find the acceleration in m/s².
  9. 9)An object at rest falls freely for 3 s. Find its speed and the distance fallen (g = 10 m/s²).
  10. 10)A train accelerates uniformly from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 20 s. Find the acceleration and the distance.

Answers

  1. 1) v = u + at = 0 + (2 m/s²)(5 s) = 10 m/s. s = ut + ½at² = 0 + ½(2)(25) = 25 m.
  2. 2) a = (v - u)/t = (0 - 20)/4 = -5 m/s². s = ut + ½at² = (20)(4) + ½(-5)(16) = 80 - 40 = 40 m.
  3. 3) First convert: 72 km/h = 72 × 1000/3600 = 20 m/s. Then a = (0 - 20)/20 = -1 m/s².
  4. 4) v² = u² + 2as = 25 + 2(2)(10) = 65, so v = √65 ≈ 8.1 m/s.
  5. 5) v = u + at = 0 + (10)(3) = 30 m/s. s = ½at² = ½(10)(9) = 45 m.
  6. 6) v = u + at = 0 + 4 × 6 = 24 m/s. s = ut + ½at² = 0 + ½ × 4 × 36 = 72 m.
  7. 7) v² = u² + 2as, so 0 = 900 + 2a(90), giving a = -5 m/s². It is a retardation of 5 m/s².
  8. 8) 54 km/h = 15 m/s. a = (v - u)/t = (0 - 15)/5 = -3 m/s².
  9. 9) v = 0 + 10 × 3 = 30 m/s. s = ½ × 10 × 9 = 45 m.
  10. 10) a = (30 - 10)/20 = 1 m/s². s = ut + ½at² = 10 × 20 + ½ × 1 × 400 = 400 m.

The boat question is the one worth understanding rather than memorising. Before the jump nothing is moving, so the total momentum is zero, and it must stay zero. The person carries 120 kg m/s forwards, so the boat must carry 120 kg m/s backwards - and being half the mass, it moves twice as fast. The negative sign is not a nuisance; it is the answer telling you the direction.

  1. 1)A force of 10 N acts on a body of mass 2 kg. Find the acceleration.
  2. 2)A 5 kg object speeds up from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 s. Find the acceleration and the force.
  3. 3)Find the change in momentum of that same 5 kg object.
  4. 4)Find the momentum of a 20 g bullet travelling at 100 m/s.
  5. 5)A person of 60 kg jumps off a stationary 30 kg boat at 2 m/s. Find the velocity of the boat.
  6. 6)A force of 12 N acts on a 4 kg body. Find the acceleration.
  7. 7)Find the force needed to accelerate a 1,500 kg car at 2 m/s².
  8. 8)A 3 kg object is brought from rest to 12 m/s. Find the change in momentum.
  9. 9)Find the momentum of a 50 g ball moving at 200 m/s.
  10. 10)Why does a cricketer move his hands back while catching a ball?

Answers

  1. 1) a = F/m = 10 N ÷ 2 kg = 5 m/s².
  2. 2) a = (8 - 2)/3 = 2 m/s². F = ma = (5 kg)(2 m/s²) = 10 N.
  3. 3) Change in momentum = m(v - u) = 5(8 - 2) = 30 kg m/s.
  4. 4) Convert 20 g to 0.02 kg. p = mv = (0.02)(100) = 2 kg m/s.
  5. 5) By conservation of momentum, total momentum stays zero. So (60)(2) + (30)(v) = 0, giving v = -4 m/s - that is, 4 m/s in the opposite direction.
  6. 6) a = F/m = 12/4 = 3 m/s².
  7. 7) F = ma = 1500 × 2 = 3,000 N.
  8. 8) Change in momentum = m(v - u) = 3 × 12 = 36 kg m/s.
  9. 9) p = mv = 0.05 × 200 = 10 kg m/s.
  10. 10) To increase the time over which the ball is stopped. The change in momentum is fixed, so a longer time means a smaller force on his hands.

While your child works

  • Convert units in the first line, before any formula. 72 km/h is 20 m/s, and doing it later is how correct methods produce wrong answers.
  • Units belong on every line, not only on the answer. Layout is marked independently.
  • In momentum questions, a negative answer means direction, not error. Ask your child what the sign is telling them.

Class 9 Science - the guide

Why one worksheet per strand?

Because Class 9 is the year the answer becomes available, and it is worth collecting.

For three years Physics, Chemistry and Biology have shared one Science mark. Eighty-five, seventy and forty-five average to sixty-seven, and nothing on the report card says which was which. In Class 9 the three separate - and families frequently discover in October that one strand has been weak since Class 6.

Doing these three sheets on three different days gives you that answer in ninety minutes, without waiting for a report card. The full argument is on our Class 9 Science tuition page.

How should we use these at home?

Thirty to thirty-five minutes each, on separate days. Every exercise opens with one question worked through in full, because layout and answer shape are being practised as much as content.

  • Physics: convert units in the first line. 72 km/h is 20 m/s, and doing it late is how correct methods give wrong answers.
  • Chemistry: ask what a mole counts before any formula. If there is no answer, that is the whole problem.
  • Biology: ask for the name, the property and the location. All three, every time.
  • Let your child mark their own work. Every answer is on the page for exactly that reason.

Where do Class 9 children usually stall in Science?

In a different place in each strand, which is why the three sheets are separate.

  • Physics: units. Both the conversion at the start and the units on each line of working, which are marked independently of the answer.
  • Chemistry: the mole taught as three formulas rather than as a counting unit, so nothing can be checked for sense - and 'atoms' read as 'molecules'.
  • Biology: answers that name a tissue without its property or its location, which is consistently half a mark.

All three carry directly into Class 10, which assumes every one of them and reteaches none.

Questions parents ask

Class 9 Science worksheets - your questions

Are these Class 9 Science worksheets free?

Yes. Every question and every answer is on this page, with no sign-up, no email wall and no account. The printable version puts the answers on a separate final sheet.

Why is there one worksheet per strand?

Because Class 9 separates Physics, Chemistry and Biology for the first time. Doing the three on separate days shows which is weak - an answer a combined Science mark has been hiding since Class 6.

What is the mole concept, simply?

A mole is a counting unit, like a dozen. A dozen is twelve of anything; a mole is 6.022 × 10²³ of anything. Most of the difficulty comes from meeting the formulas before that sentence.

How do I convert km/h to m/s?

Multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600, or divide by 3.6. Do it as the first line of the solution rather than partway through, since a unit mismatch is the commonest way a correct method fails.

Why does my child lose marks in numericals with the right answer?

Because layout is scored separately. Formula, substitution, units on every line, answer stated with its unit - a bare number earns a fraction of what the same understanding would earn written out.

Are these matched to NCERT?

They are written to the reasoning Class 9 Science expects rather than to one book's chapter order, so they work for CBSE, ICSE and state board students alike.

How long should a Class 9 child spend on one sheet?

Thirty to thirty-five minutes. Doing the three on separate days is better than one long sitting, both for attention and for comparing how the three strands went.

Can I print these worksheets?

Yes. They print cleanly on A4 with the answers on a separate final page, and nothing needs to be downloaded or signed up for.
