IGCSE PHYSICS EXAM 2025/2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
What is the difference between speed and velocity - ANS velocity has direction
what is the equation relating average speed, time taken and distance moved? - ANS average
speed=distance moved/time taken
what is acceleration? - ANS how quick velocity is changing
what is the equation relating acceleration, change in velocity and time taken? -
ANS acceleration=change in velocity/time taken
on a distance-time graph what does the gradient symbolise? - ANS speed
on a distance-time graph what does it mean when there's a flat section? - ANS it's stopped
on a distance-time graph what does it mean when there are curves? - ANS there's
acceleration or deceleration
on a velocity-time graph what does the gradient symbolise? - ANS acceleration

,on a velocity-time graph what does it mean when there is a flat section? - ANS steady speed
on a velocity-time graph how can you find distance travelled in a certain time? - ANS by
working out the area under the line (with limits if trying to find the distance travelled between
certain time)
what is weight caused by? - ANS gravity
what is gravity? - ANS the force of attraction between all masses
mass includes the force of gravity. true or false? - ANS false
give the equation relating weight, gravitational field strength and mass - ANS weight=mass x
gravitational field strength
what does friction do? - ANS slows things down
what is the accelerating force that acts on all falling objects? - ANS gravity
what is terminal velocity? - ANS resistance force=accelerating force
what is newton's first law? - ANS balanced forces means no change in velocity
what is newton's second law? - ANS an unbalanced force means there will be acceleration
give the equation relating force, acceleration and mass - ANS force=mass x acceleration

, what is newton's third law? (use object A and object B) - ANS that if object A exerts a force
on object B, object B with exert the same but opposite force on object A
