Sample Saarland Abitur Physics Practice Questions

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

1A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?

A.4 m/s²

B.100 m/s²

C.0.25 m/s²

D.20 m/s²

Explanation: a = Δv/Δt = (20 m/s − 0 m/s) / 5 s = 4 m/s².

2An object falls freely from rest under gravity (g = 9.8 m/s²) for 3 seconds. What is its velocity at that time (ignoring air resistance)?

A.29.4 m/s

B.3.27 m/s

C.9.8 m/s

D.44.1 m/s

Explanation: v = g × t = 9.8 m/s² × 3 s = 29.4 m/s.

3What is Newton's First Law of Motion (the law of inertia)?

A.An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force

B.Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

C.Force equals mass times acceleration

D.Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Explanation: Newton's First Law (law of inertia) states that an object remains at rest or continues in uniform straight-line motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

4What is Newton's Second Law of Motion, expressed as a formula?

A.F = m × a

B.F = m / a

C.F = m + a

D.F = m − a

Explanation: Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration: F = m × a.

5A 10 kg object experiences a net force of 50 N. What is its acceleration?

A.5 m/s²

B.500 m/s²

C.0.2 m/s²

D.60 m/s²

Explanation: a = F/m = 50 N / 10 kg = 5 m/s².

6What is the formula for kinetic energy?

A.E_kin = ½mv²

B.E_kin = mv

C.E_kin = mgh

D.E_kin = m/v

Explanation: Kinetic energy is calculated as E_kin = ½mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

7A 2 kg object moves at 4 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

A.16 J

B.8 J

C.32 J

D.4 J

Explanation: E_kin = ½ × m × v² = ½ × 2 kg × (4 m/s)² = ½ × 2 × 16 = 16 J.

8What is the formula for gravitational potential energy near Earth's surface?

A.E_pot = mgh

B.E_pot = ½mv²

C.E_pot = Fd

D.E_pot = m/gh

Explanation: Gravitational potential energy near Earth's surface is calculated as E_pot = mgh, where m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height.

9A 5 kg object is lifted to a height of 2 m (g = 9.8 m/s²). What is its gravitational potential energy?

A.98 J

B.10 J

C.19.6 J

D.49 J

Explanation: E_pot = m × g × h = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2 m = 98 J.

10What is the law of conservation of energy?

A.Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another

B.Energy is constantly being created from nothing

C.Energy always increases over time with no limit

D.Energy applies only to kinetic energy, not potential energy

Explanation: The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system, only converted from one form to another (e.g., potential to kinetic).

About the Saarland Abitur Physics Exam

Saarland Abitur Physik is the written naturwissenschaftliches Pflichtfach examination in Physics, administered under the GOS-VO and — since 2025 — aligned to the IQB Bildungsstandards Physik für die Allgemeine Hochschulreife. It assesses calculation-based problem-solving and experimental interpretation across mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum physics. This free MCQ bank, including genuine worked-calculation items, trains the underlying content before students practise the official calculation/experiment-based exam.

Exam sponsor: Ministerium für Bildung und Kultur Saarland (MBK) / IQB. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official written Saarland Abitur naturwissenschaftliches Pflichtfach Physik, aligned since 2025 to the IQB nationally pooled task framework. Candidates solve calculation-based problems and interpret experimental setups across mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum physics, writing structured or extended responses. This 100-question bank is an MCQ study adaptation only — it does not simulate the real calculation/experiment-based exam.

Time Limit

Leistungsfach/E-Kurs: 270–300 minutes; Grundfach/G-Kurs: 210–240 minutes (GOS-VO written-exam time bands). Written main date: Wednesday 13 May 2026.

Passing Score

Subject performance is reported on the 0–15 Punkte scale. The Gesamtqualifikation requires at least 200 of 40 Halbjahresergebnisse (Block I) plus at least 100 points from five Abiturprüfungsfächer at 4x weighting (Block II), with at least 20 points (4x weighting) in three Prüfungsfächer including one Leistungsfach, and no 0-point grade (GOS-VO Saarland).

Exam / Certification Fees

No exam fee for regular school candidates; Physik is a naturwissenschaftliches Pflichtfach in the state-administered Saarland Abitur under the GOS-VO. External-candidate arrangements, where they exist, are school/authority-specific and not a published fee.

Saarland Abitur Physics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master core formulas (Newton's laws, kinematics equations, Ohm's law, energy conservation) and practise applying them to genuine worked problems, not just memorizing them.

2Always include correct SI units in calculations — unit errors are heavily penalized in IQB-aligned grading.

3Practise interpreting experimental setups and data (e.g., circuit diagrams, motion graphs) alongside pure calculation.

4Master IQB Operatoren (berechnen, herleiten, beurteilen) and answer exactly what each verb demands.

5After MCQ concept work, practise real German calculation and derivation writing — MCQs build content recognition, not extended derivation skill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official Saarland Physik Abitur exam multiple-choice?

No. The official written paper is a structured, calculation-based exam with experiment interpretation. This bank is an MCQ study adaptation, not an official format simulation.

Is Physik compulsory in the Saarland Abitur?
