  1. Question 1

    Waves

    A wave of frequency 250 Hz has a wavelength of 0.25 m. Find its speed.

    1. Option A: 1000 m/s
    2. Option B: 62.5 m/s
    3. Option C: 0.001 m/s
    4. Option D: 125 m/s
    Show the answer to question 1

    Answer: B, 62.5 m/s

    v = fλ = 250 × 0.25 = 62.5 m/s.

  2. Question 2

    Density

    A sample of mass 395.5 g occupies a volume of 35 cm³. Calculate its density.

    1. Option A: 0.09 g/cm³
    2. Option B: 113 g/cm³
    3. Option C: 11.3 g/cm³
    4. Option D: 5.65 g/cm³
    Show the answer to question 2

    Answer: C, 11.3 g/cm³

    Density = mass ÷ volume = 395.5 ÷ 35 = 11.3 g/cm³.

  3. Question 3

    Current electricity

    A potential difference of 3.5 V is applied across a 7 Ω resistor. Find the current that flows.

    1. Option A: 24.5 A
    2. Option B: 2 A
    3. Option C: 1 A
    4. Option D: 0.5 A
    Show the answer to question 3

    Answer: D, 0.5 A

    By Ohm's law, I = V ÷ R = 3.5 ÷ 7 = 0.5 A.

  4. Question 4

    Pressure

    A force of 300 N acts on an area of 2 m². Find the pressure exerted.

    1. Option A: 150 Pa
    2. Option B: 600 Pa
    3. Option C: 75 Pa
    4. Option D: 300 Pa
    Show the answer to question 4

    Answer: A, 150 Pa

    Pressure = force ÷ area = 300 ÷ 2 = 150 Pa.

  5. Question 5

    Units and measurement

    What is the SI unit of force?

    1. Option A: Joule
    2. Option B: Watt
    3. Option C: Newton
    4. Option D: Pascal
    Show the answer to question 5

    Answer: C, Newton

    Force is measured in newtons (N).
