Sample ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics questions

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

ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics Motion graphs hard velocity-time graph

1. The velocity-time graph encloses an area of a triangle with base 4.0 s and height 10 m/s plus a rectangle of 3.0 s by 10 m/s. What displacement is shown?

ACT 11 velocity-time displacement 0-4 s 10 m/s 7 s t v
Choices
  • 50 m
  • 20 m
  • 30 m
  • 70 m
Explanation:

The area is 0.5 x 4.0 x 10 = 20 m plus 3.0 x 10 = 30 m, giving 50 m.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics Circuits hard circuit diagram

2. A 24 V supply is connected to a 6 ohm resistor. What current is represented?

ACT 11 circuit calculation 24 V 6 ohm I
Choices
  • 4.0 A
  • 0.25 A
  • 18 A
  • 144 A
Explanation:

Ohm's law gives I = 24 / 6 = 4.0 A.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics Refraction hard refraction diagram

3. A light ray travels from glass into air. Which direction does it bend as it speeds up?

ACT 11 glass to air ray glass air normal
Choices
  • Away from the normal
  • Toward the normal
  • Straight into the surface
  • It cannot refract
Explanation:

Light bends away from the normal when it enters a faster optical medium.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics Circular motion hard circular-motion diagram

4. A rider moves at 3.0 m/s around a 2.0 m radius curve. What centripetal acceleration is shown?

ACT 11 curve acceleration 2.0 m 3.0 m/s a
Choices
  • 4.5 m/s2
  • 1.5 m/s2
  • 6.0 m/s2
  • 9.0 m/s2
Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is v2 / r = 3.02 / 2.0 = 4.5 m/s2.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics Half-life hard decay graph

5. A radioactive sample drops from 120 units to 15 units in 15 days. What half-life is shown?

ACT 11 decay graph 120 15 15 d
Choices
  • 5 days
  • 7.5 days
  • 15 days
  • 45 days
Explanation:

120 to 15 is three halvings: 120, 60, 30, 15. Three half-lives take 15 days, so one half-life is 5 days.

ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics Elastic energy hard force-extension graph

6. A spring graph reaches 18 N at extension 0.09 m. What energy is stored?

ACT 11 spring area 0.09 m 18 N area x F
Choices
  • 0.81 J
  • 1.62 J
  • 18 J
  • 200 J
Explanation:

The area under the linear graph is 0.5 x 0.09 x 18 = 0.81 J.

For parents comparing ACT BSSS Year 11 Physics support

ACT BSSS 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.
