Sample SACE Year 12 Physics questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show SACE Year 12 Physics motion graphs, fields, induction, wave interference, photoelectric data, and experimental graphs with diagrams and graphs before opening the demo.

SACE Year 12 Physics Projectile motion hard projectile diagram

1. A projectile's horizontal component is 14 m/s and the flight time is 3.0 s. What horizontal displacement is shown?

SACE 12 projectile displacement 14 m/s 42 m 3.0 s
Choices
  • 42 m
  • 17 m
  • 4.7 m
  • 84 m
Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is 14 x 3.0 = 42 m when horizontal velocity is constant.

SACE Year 12 Physics Induction hard flux graph

2. The flux-time graph is steepest over the first interval. Which statement about induced emf is best supported?

SACE 12 flux graph first later flux t
Choices
  • Its magnitude is greatest in the first interval
  • It is zero in the first interval
  • It depends only on coil area
  • It is greatest where flux is flat
Explanation:

The greatest rate of change of flux gives the greatest induced emf magnitude.

SACE Year 12 Physics Photoelectric effect hard photoelectric graph

3. A maximum kinetic energy graph has x-intercept 5.6 x 1014 Hz. What threshold frequency is shown?

SACE 12 photoelectric threshold 5.6 x 10^14 Hz frequency max KE
Choices
  • 5.6 x 1014 Hz
  • 2.8 x 1014 Hz
  • 1.12 x 1015 Hz
  • 5.6 eV
Explanation:

The x-intercept is the minimum frequency needed for electron emission.

SACE Year 12 Physics Transformers hard transformer diagram

4. A transformer has a 20:1 primary-to-secondary turns ratio. With 230 V on the primary, what secondary voltage is ideal?

SACE 12 low-voltage transformer 20 turns 1 turn load
Choices
  • 11.5 V
  • 230 V
  • 4600 V
  • 20 V
Explanation:

The secondary has 1/20 of the primary turns, so Vs = 230 / 20 = 11.5 V.

SACE Year 12 Physics Interference hard interference diagram

5. The screen is moved farther from a double-slit source while wavelength and slit spacing stay fixed. What happens to fringe spacing?

SACE 12 screen-distance fringes slits far screen bright
Choices
  • It increases
  • It decreases
  • It becomes zero
  • It must stay the same
Explanation:

Fringe spacing is proportional to screen distance, so moving the screen farther away increases the spacing.

SACE Year 12 Physics Gravitational fields hard orbit diagram

6. A spacecraft is shown beside a planet. Which way is the gravitational force on the spacecraft?

SACE 12 spacecraft gravity planet craft F
Choices
  • Toward the planet
  • Away from the planet
  • Along the orbit only
  • Zero because space is empty
Explanation:

The gravitational force is attractive, so it is directed toward the planet's centre.

For parents comparing SACE Year 12 Physics support

SACE Year 12 Physics practice should help students connect equations to visible evidence: motion graphs, fields, induction, wave interference, photoelectric data, and experimental graphs. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login Physics demo.
