Sample VCE Year 11 Physics questions

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

VCE Year 11 Physics Kinematics hard velocity-time graph

1. A cart changes velocity from 2 m/s to 10 m/s over 4.0 s on the velocity-time graph. What acceleration is represented?

VCE 11 cart velocity-time graph 0-4 s change v = 8 4 s t v
Choices
  • 2.0 m/s2
  • 8.0 m/s2
  • 12 m/s2
  • 0.5 m/s2
Explanation:

Acceleration is the gradient of the velocity-time graph. The change in velocity is 10 - 2 = 8 m/s over 4.0 s, so a = 8 / 4.0 = 2.0 m/s2.

VCE Year 11 Physics Energy in springs hard force-extension graph

2. A spring force-extension graph is linear to 0.10 m, where the force is 20 N. How much elastic potential energy is stored?

VCE 11 spring energy graph 0.10 m 20 N area x F
Choices
  • 1.0 J
  • 2.0 J
  • 20 J
  • 200 J
Explanation:

The stored energy is the triangular area under the graph: 0.5 x 0.10 x 20 = 1.0 J.

VCE Year 11 Physics Electric fields hard field diagram

3. A positive test charge is between parallel plates. The electric field points from the positive plate toward the negative plate. Which way is the force?

VCE 11 field between plates + - + plate - plate E
Choices
  • Toward the negative plate
  • Toward the positive plate
  • Out of the page
  • There is no force on the charge
Explanation:

A positive charge experiences force in the same direction as the electric field, so it is pushed toward the negative plate.

VCE Year 11 Physics Waves on strings hard standing-wave diagram

4. A standing-wave diagram shows three half-wavelength loops fitted into 1.20 m of string. What is the wavelength?

VCE 11 standing wave string 1.20 m 3 loops node
Choices
  • 0.80 m
  • 0.40 m
  • 1.20 m
  • 2.40 m
Explanation:

Three half-wavelengths equal 1.20 m, so one half-wavelength is 0.40 m and the full wavelength is 0.80 m.

VCE Year 11 Physics Circular motion hard circular-motion diagram

5. A ball moves clockwise in a horizontal circle. At the marked point, which direction is the net force?

VCE 11 circular motion force r v F
Choices
  • Toward the centre
  • Along the tangent
  • Away from the centre
  • There is no net force
Explanation:

Uniform circular motion needs centripetal force directed toward the centre of the circle at every point.

VCE Year 11 Physics Refraction hard refraction diagram

6. A light ray enters glass from air. The diagram shows the normal at the boundary. Which change is expected as the ray slows down?

VCE 11 air to glass ray air glass normal
Choices
  • It bends toward the normal
  • It bends away from the normal
  • It stops at the boundary
  • It reflects only
Explanation:

When light enters a slower medium, it bends toward the normal. The ray also keeps travelling on the other side of the boundary.

For parents comparing VCE Year 11 Physics support

VCE 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.
