Sample Pancyprian Technical School Physics (4-hour) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Pancyprian Technical School Physics (4-hour) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which of the following physical quantities is a vector?
A.Speed
B.Velocity
C.Distance
D.Temperature
Explanation: Velocity is a vector because it has both magnitude and direction. Speed, distance and temperature are scalars: they are fully described by a number and a unit, with no direction.
2What is the SI unit of acceleration?
A.m/s
B.m/s²
C.km/h
D.N
Explanation: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, so its unit is (m/s) per second, i.e. metres per second squared (m/s²).
3A car travels 150 m in a straight line in 10 s at constant speed. What is its speed?
A.10 m/s
B.15 m/s
C.25 m/s
D.150 m/s
Explanation: For uniform motion v = x/t = 150 m / 10 s = 15 m/s. Constant speed means equal distances are covered in equal times.
4A motorbike accelerates uniformly from 5 m/s to 25 m/s in 4.0 s. Its acceleration is:
A.5.0 m/s²
B.6.25 m/s²
C.7.5 m/s²
D.20 m/s²
Explanation: a = Δv/Δt = (25 − 5) / 4.0 = 20/4.0 = 5.0 m/s². Acceleration measures the change of velocity per unit time, not the final velocity itself.
5On a velocity–time graph, the area between the graph and the time axis represents:
A.The acceleration of the body
B.The displacement of the body
C.The average speed of the body
D.The force acting on the body
Explanation: Since displacement equals velocity multiplied by time for each small interval, the area under a v–t graph gives the total displacement. The gradient of the same graph gives acceleration.
6A stone is released from rest and falls freely. Taking g = 10 m/s², how far does it fall in the first 5.0 s? (Ignore air resistance.)
A.50 m
B.100 m
C.125 m
D.250 m
Explanation: For free fall from rest, s = ½gt² = ½ × 10 × 5.0² = 5 × 25 = 125 m. The distance grows with the square of the time, which is why 5 s gives far more than 5 × 10 = 50 m.
7In a vacuum, a hammer and a feather are dropped simultaneously from the same height. What happens?
A.The hammer lands first because it is heavier
B.The feather lands first because air resistance vanishes
C.They land at the same time with the same speed
D.The feather floats and never lands
Explanation: Without air resistance all bodies fall with the same acceleration g, independent of their mass — as demonstrated famously on the Moon. Starting from the same height, they take the same time and reach the same speed.
8A car travelling at 20 m/s brakes with constant deceleration of 4.0 m/s² until it stops. The stopping distance is:
A.40 m
B.50 m
C.80 m
D.100 m
Explanation: Using v² = u² + 2as with v = 0: 0 = 20² − 2 × 4.0 × s, so s = 400 / 8.0 = 50 m. Stopping distance grows with the square of the initial speed.
9A body moves with uniform (constant-velocity) rectilinear motion. Its position–time graph is:
A.A parabola
B.A straight line through the origin with constant slope
C.A horizontal line in all cases
D.A curve whose slope increases with time
Explanation: In uniform motion x = vt (if it starts at the origin), so the x–t graph is a straight line whose slope equals the velocity. A horizontal x–t line would mean the body is at rest.
10A lorry drives 60 km from Limassol to Nicosia at an average speed of 30 km/h and returns along the same route at 60 km/h. Its average speed for the whole journey is:
A.40 km/h
B.45 km/h
C.48 km/h
D.50 km/h
Explanation: Total distance = 120 km. Time out = 60/30 = 2 h, time back = 60/60 = 1 h, total 3 h. Average speed = 120/3 = 40 km/h. Average speed is total distance over total time, not the mean of the two speeds.

About the Pancyprian Technical School Physics (4-hour) Exam

Technical School Physics (4-hour course, code 047) is the physics access subject for candidates from Cyprus Technical and Vocational Schools of Education and Training, taught four periods per week on a reduced syllabus. The written paper tests conceptual understanding of theory plus problem-solving in mechanics, electricity, heat and waves at technical-school depth. This bank provides 100 original English-language MCQs with worked calculations and per-option explanations mapped to those syllabus areas.

Exam sponsor: Examinations Service, Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

The official assessment is a single 3-hour written paper in Greek on the reduced 4-hour technical-school physics syllabus, combining theory and comprehension questions with structured numerical problems across mechanics, electricity, heat and waves. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.

Time Limit

3 hours per the official 2026 Pancyprian Access Examinations timetable for written papers

Passing Score

Marked on a 0-20 scale; no pass mark - feeds the access/ranking grade (βαθμός πρόσβασης) for Cyprus and Greece public university allocation.

Exam / Certification Fees

EUR 25.00 per access subject for 2026 (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable electronically by card during the official 2–17 April 2026 payment window per Examinations Service notices.

Pancyprian Technical School Physics (4-hour): Suggested Study Strategy

1Master the core formulas and their units: v=x/t, a=Δv/Δt, F=ma, W=Fs, KE=½mv², PE=mgh, P=W/t, Q=mcΔθ, V=IR, P=VI, v=fλ - the paper rewards correct formula selection and unit handling.
2Practise writing full solutions in Greek: state the given data, the formula, the substitution and the answer with units, exactly as the written paper demands.
3Draw motion graphs (x-t and v-t) from descriptions and extract displacement and acceleration from them - graph interpretation is a recurring theme.
4For circuits, always simplify series/parallel networks step by step before applying Ohm's law, and check that parallel equivalents are smaller than any branch.
5Use g = 10 m/s² for quick estimates but read each problem statement for the value or data it actually supplies.
6Review theory definitions in your own words - Cyprus papers give considerable weight to conceptual understanding, not just calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this practice bank the same as the official Pancyprian physics paper?

No. The official exam is a 3-hour written paper in Greek with constructed-response theory questions and structured numerical problems. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation: use it to build and test your understanding, but practise full written solutions, derivations and multi-step calculations separately, because the real paper requires you to produce them yourself.

Who sits Technical School Physics code 047?

It is the physics access subject for candidates from Cyprus Technical and Vocational Schools of Education and Training, taught four periods per week on a reduced syllabus compared with the lyceum Physics Orientation course (code 038). The 2026 paper was scheduled for 24 June 2026, 8:00-11:00, per the official timetable.

What topics does the 4-hour technical-school physics syllabus cover?

Mechanics (kinematics, Newton's laws, work-energy-power, momentum, circular motion), thermal phenomena (heat, calorimetry, expansion, gas behaviour), electricity (charge, fields, Ohm's law, circuits, power and energy) and waves (sound, light, reflection, refraction, oscillations), all at technical-school depth with both theory and calculations.

How is the paper marked and is there a pass mark?

The paper is marked on a 0-20 scale. There is no pass or fail threshold: the mark feeds the candidate's access/ranking grade (βαθμός πρόσβασης) used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

Are calculators and formula sheets allowed?

Exam regulations on permitted materials are set by the Examinations Service and published in the official Guide and exam-day instructions; check panexams.moec.gov.cy for the current rules rather than relying on third-party summaries.

How should I use this bank most effectively?

Work topic by topic alongside your school textbook: attempt each question, read the explanation for every option (including the wrong ones), and re-derive every numerical answer with pen and paper. Then attempt past official papers from the Examinations Service website under timed, written conditions.
