Originale Aufgaben von Studoli-Lehrkräften im Stil der Prüfung WAEC (WASSCE). Es sind keine offiziellen Prüfungsaufgaben.
Thema: Units
1. What is the SI unit of force?
Lösung
B. Newton
- Force is measured in newtons (N).
- 1 N is the force that gives a 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s².
Thema: Motion
2. A car starts from rest and reaches 20 m/s in 5 s with uniform acceleration. Find its acceleration.
Lösung
B. 4 m/s²
- Acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time.
- (20 − 0) ÷ 5 = 4 m/s².
Thema: Scalars and vectors
3. Which of the following is a vector quantity?
Lösung
C. Velocity
- A vector has both magnitude and direction.
- Velocity is speed in a given direction, so it is a vector. Mass, speed and energy are scalars.
Thema: Current electricity
4. A conductor carries a current of 3 A when the potential difference across it is 12 V. Find its resistance.
Lösung
B. 4 Ω
- Ohm's law: R = V ÷ I.
- R = 12 ÷ 3 = 4 Ω.
Thema: Current electricity
5. Two 6 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. What is their combined resistance?
Lösung
A. 3 Ω
- For two resistors in parallel: 1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6.
- R = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 Ω.
Thema: Waves
6. A wave has a frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 2 m. Find its speed.
Lösung
D. 100 m/s
- Wave speed v = fλ.
- v = 50 × 2 = 100 m/s.
Thema: Work and energy
7. Calculate the work done in lifting a 10 kg load through a height of 2 m. (g = 10 m/s²)
Lösung
C. 200 J
- Work done = force × distance, and the force needed is the weight mg.
- W = 10 × 10 × 2 = 200 J.
Thema: Heat
8. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of water by 10 °C? (c = 4200 J/kg °C)
Lösung
D. 84,000 J
- Heat Q = mcΔθ.
- Q = 2 × 4200 × 10 = 84,000 J.
Thema: Electromagnetic waves
9. Which electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength?
Lösung
D. Gamma rays
- Gamma rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Highest frequency means shortest wavelength.
Thema: Momentum
10. Find the momentum of a 5 kg object moving at 4 m/s.
Lösung
C. 20 kg m/s
- Momentum p = mv.
- p = 5 × 4 = 20 kg m/s.
