Sample NECO SSCE Physics 2002 questions

1. A bicycle starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s^2 for 5 s. What is its final speed?
  1. 2 m/s
  2. 5 m/s
  3. 10 m/s
  4. 25 m/s

Answer: C. 10 m/s

Using v = u + at gives v = 0 + 2 x 5 = 10 m/s.

2. A constant force of 20 N acts on an object for 3 s. What impulse does the force provide?
  1. 60 N s
  2. 23 N s
  3. 17 N s
  4. 6.7 N s

Answer: A. 60 N s

Impulse equals force multiplied by time, so 20 x 3 = 60 N s.

3. A machine does 600 J of work in 20 s. What is its average power?
  1. 12 W
  2. 20 W
  3. 600 W
  4. 30 W

Answer: D. 30 W

Average power is work divided by time, giving 600/20 = 30 W.

4. A 20 N force acts perpendicular to a lever 0.30 m from its pivot. What is the moment of the force about the pivot?
  1. 0.15 N m
  2. 6.0 N m
  3. 20.3 N m
  4. 60 N m

Answer: B. 6.0 N m

Moment equals force times perpendicular distance, so 20 x 0.30 = 6.0 N m.

5. A solid has mass 2.0 kg and volume 5.0 x 10^-4 m^3. What is its density?
  1. 250 kg/m^3
  2. 1,000 kg/m^3
  3. 4,000 kg/m^3
  4. 10,000 kg/m^3

Answer: C. 4,000 kg/m^3

Density is mass divided by volume, so 2.0/(5.0 x 10^-4) = 4,000 kg/m^3.
