Sample WAEC WASSCE Physics 2000 questions

1. Which is the SI unit of force?
  1. newton
  2. joule
  3. watt
  4. pascal

Answer: A. newton

Force is measured in newtons (N) in the SI system.

2. A cyclist travels 180 m in 12 s at constant speed; what is the speed?
  1. 12 m/s
  2. 15 m/s
  3. 18 m/s
  4. 21.6 m/s

Answer: B. 15 m/s

Speed equals distance divided by time, so 180/12 = 15 m/s.

3. Two perpendicular forces of 6 N and 8 N act on a body; what is their resultant magnitude?
  1. 2 N
  2. 7 N
  3. 10 N
  4. 14 N

Answer: C. 10 N

For perpendicular vectors the resultant is sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = 10 N.

4. A vibrating source makes 60 complete oscillations each second; what is its period?
  1. 60 s
  2. 1 s
  3. 0.60 s
  4. 1/60 s

Answer: D. 1/60 s

The period is the reciprocal of frequency, so T = 1/60 s.

5. A car increases its speed uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 s; what is its acceleration?
  1. 4 m/s^2
  2. 5 m/s^2
  3. 15 m/s^2
  4. 100 m/s^2

Answer: A. 4 m/s^2

Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time, giving 20/5 = 4 m/s^2.
