Sample NECO SSCE Physics 2000 questions
1. Which SI unit is used to measure force?
- newton
- joule
- watt
- pascal
Answer: A. newton
Force is measured in newtons, while joules, watts and pascals measure energy, power and pressure respectively.
2. A vernier caliper has 10 vernier divisions equal in length to 9 main-scale divisions, and each main-scale division is 1 mm; what is its least count?
- 1.0 mm
- 0.1 mm
- 0.9 mm
- 10 mm
Answer: B. 0.1 mm
The least count is the difference between one main-scale division and one vernier division, or 1 mm minus 0.9 mm.
3. Two perpendicular forces of 3 N and 4 N act on an object; what is the magnitude of their resultant?
- 1 N
- 7 N
- 5 N
- 12 N
Answer: C. 5 N
For perpendicular forces the resultant is sqrt(3^2 + 4^2), which equals 5 N.
4. A student walks 8 m east and then 3 m west along a straight path; what is the student's displacement from the starting point?
- 11 m east
- 11 m west
- 5 m west
- 5 m east
Answer: D. 5 m east
Displacement is the net change in position, so 8 m east minus 3 m west gives 5 m east.
5. A cart travels 150 m in 12 s at constant speed; what is its speed?
- 12.5 m/s
- 13.5 m/s
- 18 m/s
- 162 m/s
Answer: A. 12.5 m/s
Speed equals distance divided by time, so 150 m / 12 s = 12.5 m/s.
