Sample Pancyprian Physics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Pancyprian Physics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s^2 for 5 s. What is its final velocity?
A.10 m/s
B.5 m/s
C.7 m/s
D.20 m/s
Explanation: For uniform acceleration from rest, v = u + at = 0 + (2)(5) = 10 m/s. The acceleration tells you how much the velocity grows each second, so after 5 s it has grown by 10 m/s.
2An object is released from rest and falls freely. Taking g = 10 m/s^2 and neglecting air resistance, how far does it fall in the first 3.0 s?
A.30 m
B.45 m
C.15 m
D.90 m
Explanation: For free fall from rest, s = (1/2)gt^2 = (1/2)(10)(3^2) = 45 m. The distance grows with the square of time, which is why the object covers far more ground in the third second than in the first.
3A net force of 12 N acts on a body of mass 4 kg on a frictionless surface. What is the body's acceleration?
A.48 m/s^2
B.0.33 m/s^2
C.3 m/s^2
D.8 m/s^2
Explanation: Newton's second law gives a = F/m = 12/4 = 3 m/s^2. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass.
4A puck sliding on perfectly smooth, horizontal ice keeps moving at constant velocity even though nothing pushes it. Which principle explains this?
A.Newton's third law: the ice pushes back equally
B.Newton's second law: zero force means zero velocity
C.The law of conservation of energy
D.Newton's first law: a body maintains its state of motion when the net force is zero
Explanation: Newton's first law (the law of inertia) states that a body continues at constant velocity - including rest - unless a net external force acts on it. On frictionless ice the horizontal net force is zero, so the puck's velocity does not change.
5A ball is launched horizontally at 20 m/s from the top of a 45 m high cliff (g = 10 m/s^2, no air resistance). How far from the base of the cliff does it land?
A.60 m
B.45 m
C.90 m
D.30 m
Explanation: The fall time is set only by the vertical motion: t = sqrt(2h/g) = sqrt(90/10) = 3 s. Horizontal velocity stays 20 m/s, so the range is 20 x 3 = 60 m. The horizontal and vertical motions are independent.
6A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 30 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s^2 and ignoring air resistance, what maximum height does it reach above the launch point?
A.30 m
B.60 m
C.45 m
D.90 m
Explanation: At maximum height v = 0, so v^2 = u^2 - 2gh gives h = u^2/(2g) = 900/20 = 45 m. All of the initial kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy at the top.
7A block slides down a frictionless incline that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. With g = 10 m/s^2, what is its acceleration down the slope?
A.10 m/s^2
B.8.7 m/s^2
C.2.5 m/s^2
D.5 m/s^2
Explanation: The component of gravity along the incline is g sin(theta), so a = 10 x sin(30 deg) = 10 x 0.5 = 5 m/s^2. On a frictionless incline only this component accelerates the block; the perpendicular component is balanced by the normal force.
8A horizontal force of 20 N pushes a 5 kg box over 10 m on a frictionless floor, starting from rest. What is the box's final speed?
A.20 m/s
B.8.9 m/s
C.40 m/s
D.6.3 m/s
Explanation: The work done is W = Fd = 20 x 10 = 200 J, which becomes kinetic energy: (1/2)mv^2 = 200 J, so v = sqrt(400/5) = sqrt(80) is about 8.9 m/s. This is a direct application of the work-energy theorem.
9What is the momentum of a 2 kg ball moving at 6 m/s?
A.12 kg m/s
B.3 kg m/s
C.36 kg m/s
D.8 kg m/s
Explanation: Momentum is p = mv = 2 x 6 = 12 kg m/s. It is a vector pointing in the direction of the velocity.
10A moving billiard ball collides head-on, perfectly elastically, with an identical stationary ball. What happens?
A.Both balls move forward together at half the original speed
B.The incoming ball stops and the target ball moves off with the original speed
C.Both balls rebound in opposite directions
D.The incoming ball rebounds and the target ball stays at rest
Explanation: In a head-on elastic collision between equal masses, the two bodies exchange velocities: the incoming ball stops and the stationary one leaves with the full original speed. This is the unique outcome that conserves both momentum and kinetic energy.

About the Pancyprian Physics Exam

Pancyprian Physics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the official 2026 specification row for code 038 (ΦΥΣΙΚΗ) on the Examinations Service guide before drilling MCQs.
2After each wrong answer, rewrite the rule or concept in your own words with one new example.
3Schedule weekly timed practice with official past papers so you build the non-MCQ skills the real paper requires.
4Track weak categories from this bank and re-test them after 48 hours.
5Confirm logistics (centre, materials, language of response) from panexams.moec.gov.cy announcements, not from third-party summaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Pancyprian Physics exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as a constructed-response, drawing, performance or mixed paper under code 038. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for revision; practise every required non-MCQ component with official past papers and the specification.

How is the subject marked?

Like all Pancyprian access subjects it is marked on a 0–20 scale. There is no pass mark; the grade contributes to the access/ranking grade used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

What is the 2026 exam fee?

EUR 25.00 per access subject (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable by card in the official 2–17 April 2026 window, with exemptions for specified groups.

Who can sit this examination?

Final-year student or graduate of a Cyprus public secondary school (lyceum cycle), the English School Nicosia, a licensed private school, or an equivalent foreign upper-secondary school (with certification), within Examinations Service nationality/residence rules. Applications are electronic; un-promoted final-year students with 135+ absences are excluded.

Why is the practice bank in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice URL per exam. Where the tested skill is another language, stems/options may retain that language while explanations stay in English. The bank is not an official translation of the Greek (or other) exam environment.

How should I use this bank with official materials?

Use the bank to diagnose weak syllabus areas, then switch to Θέματα - Λύσεις and the official specification on panexams.moec.gov.cy for timed written, drawing or performance practice that this bank does not simulate.
