CIE IGCSE PHYSICS EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
Speed= - correct answer distance + time
What is the shape of a distance-time graph when the
object is at rest? - correct answer a horizontal line
What is the shape of a distance-time graph when the
object is moving with constant speed? - correct answer a
slanted line
What is the shape of a distance-time graph when the
object is moving with changing speed? - correct answer a
curved line
,CIE IGCSE PHYSICS EXAM
What is the distance travelled for motion with constant
acceleration in a speed-time graph? - correct answer the area
under the graph
If a body accelerates its speed-time graph will have a... -
correct answer positive gradient
If a body decelerates its speed-time graph will have a... -
correct answer negative gradient
What is the difference between speed and velocity? -
correct answer Velocity is a vector while speed is scalar.
Velocity has a direction.
a = - correct answer ∆vat
Speed (on a distance-time graph) = - correct answer the
gradient
Acceleration (on a speed-time graph) = - correct answer the
gradient
,CIE IGCSE PHYSICS EXAM
On a speed-time graph, a straight line with a positive
gradient means... - correct answer constant acceleration
On a speed-time graph, a curved line with a positive
gradient means... - correct answer changing acceleration
Deceleration= - correct answer negative acceleration
The mass of a body = - correct answer the number of particles
it has
Weight is a _____________ force - correct answer
gravitational
What is the difference between mass and weight? - correct
answer Weight is affected by gravitational field strength
W(Weight) = - correct answer m×g
, CIE IGCSE PHYSICS EXAM
How do you compare weights using balance? - correct answer
You put a weight on each side of the balance then
whichever way the balance leans is the heaviest.
What is 'inertia'? - correct answer It is the idea that if a force is
applied to an object, it will not immediately reach a high
speed because it requires time to accelerate, as shown by
the formula F=ma.
Weight (definition) = - correct answer A body's mass
multiplied by the strength of the gravitational field
around it.
ρ = - correct answer m×V
Describe an experiment to determine the density of a
liquid and of a regularly shaped solid. - correct answer Find
the mass by weighing the object on a scale and then use
a measuring cylinder to find the volume. Then divide the
mass by the volume to get the density in (g/cm³)
