Sample QCE Year 11 Physics questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show QCE Year 11 Physics motion, energy, electric fields, waves, magnetic flux, and light-and-matter data with diagrams and graphs before opening the demo.

QCE Year 11 Physics Linear motion hard velocity-time graph

1. A velocity-time graph shows a buggy increasing from 1 m/s to 7 m/s over 4.0 s. What is its acceleration?

QCE 11 buggy velocity graph 0-4 s change v = 6 4 s t v
Choices
  • 1.5 m/s2
  • 6.0 m/s2
  • 8.0 m/s2
  • 0.67 m/s2
Explanation:

The acceleration is change in velocity divided by time: (7 - 1) / 4.0 = 1.5 m/s2.

QCE Year 11 Physics Elastic energy hard force-extension graph

2. A spring has a linear force-extension graph with force 18 N at extension 0.12 m. What energy is stored?

QCE 11 spring area 0.12 m 18 N area x F
Choices
  • 1.08 J
  • 2.16 J
  • 18 J
  • 150 J
Explanation:

Elastic energy is the triangular area under the graph: 0.5 x 0.12 x 18 = 1.08 J.

QCE Year 11 Physics Circuits hard circuit diagram

3. The circuit diagram shows a 9 V supply and a 3 ohm resistor. What current should flow?

QCE 11 simple circuit 9 V 3 ohm I
Choices
  • 3.0 A
  • 0.33 A
  • 12 A
  • 27 A
Explanation:

Ohm's law gives I = V / R = 9 / 3 = 3.0 A.

QCE Year 11 Physics Uniform circular motion hard circular-motion diagram

4. At the marked point on the circular path, which way does the acceleration point?

QCE 11 circular acceleration r v a
Choices
  • Toward the centre
  • Along the velocity arrow
  • Away from the centre
  • Down only
Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is always directed toward the centre of the circular path.

QCE Year 11 Physics Refraction hard refraction diagram

5. A ray goes from air into water and slows down. Which statement best describes the refracted ray?

QCE 11 refraction into water air water normal
Choices
  • It bends toward the normal
  • It bends away from the normal
  • It keeps the same speed
  • It cannot enter water
Explanation:

A ray entering a slower optical medium bends toward the normal at the boundary.

QCE Year 11 Physics Nuclear decay hard decay graph

6. A sample's activity falls from 64 Bq to 8 Bq in 18 minutes. What half-life is shown?

QCE 11 activity decay 64 8 18 min
Choices
  • 6 minutes
  • 9 minutes
  • 18 minutes
  • 24 minutes
Explanation:

64 to 8 is three halvings: 64, 32, 16, 8. Three half-lives take 18 minutes, so one half-life is 6 minutes.

For parents comparing QCE Year 11 Physics support

QCE Year 11 Physics practice should help students connect equations to visible evidence: motion, energy, electric fields, waves, magnetic flux, and light-and-matter data. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Physics demo.
