Free 100-question MCQ study bank for Estonia's põhikooli füüsika valikeksam (Grade 9 elective), covering the Grade 8-9 (III kooliaste) physics curriculum: mechanics, electricity, heat/thermal physics, optics, magnetism, and nuclear/atomic physics. Official exam: single 120-minute written paper, 75 points across four domains (optics, mechanics, electricity, heat), with mechanics and electricity weighted heaviest and roughly half the paper at analysis/synthesis level, scheduled 6 May 2026. Scores convert to Estonia's 5-point grading scale (5 = 90-100%, 4 = 75-89%, 3/pass = 50-74%, with a documented allowance to 35% for recognized learning difficulties). Ordinary non-programmable calculator and a curriculum-standard formula sheet allowed; no textbooks. Füüsika is one of nine valikeksam electives (not compulsory like Matemaatika), chosen alongside the required Estonian-language and mathematics exams. No fee, since basic education is free. Not an official-format simulation - the real exam requires full written, partial-credit solutions.

Sample Estonian Basic-School Physics Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Estonian Basic-School Physics Exam exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A block of material has a mass of 540 g and a volume of 200 cm³. What is its density?
A.2.7 g/cm³
B.0.37 g/cm³
C.27 g/cm³
D.1.35 g/cm³
Explanation: Density is mass divided by volume: ρ = m/V = 540 g ÷ 200 cm³ = 2.7 g/cm³. This tells us how much mass is packed into each cubic centimeter of the block.
2A car travels at a constant speed of 72 km/h. What is this speed expressed in meters per second?
A.20 m/s
B.7.2 m/s
C.259.2 m/s
D.36 m/s
Explanation: To convert km/h to m/s, divide by 3.6 (since 1000 m/3600 s = 1/3.6). So 72 km/h ÷ 3.6 = 20 m/s.
3What is the weight of a 5 kg object at Earth's surface? (Use g = 10 N/kg.)
A.50 N
B.0.5 N
C.15 N
D.500 N
Explanation: Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object: F = mg = 5 kg × 10 N/kg = 50 N.
4A vibrating object completes 4 full oscillations every second. What is the period of its oscillation?
A.0.25 s
B.4 s
C.0.4 s
D.2.5 s
Explanation: Period is the reciprocal of frequency: T = 1/f = 1/4 Hz = 0.25 s.
5A cyclist covers 100 m in 20 s at a constant speed. What is the cyclist's speed?
A.5 m/s
B.20 m/s
C.2000 m/s
D.0.2 m/s
Explanation: Speed equals distance divided by time: v = s/t = 100 m ÷ 20 s = 5 m/s.
6According to the principle of interaction (Newton's third law), when object A exerts a force on object B, what force does object B exert on object A?
A.An equal-magnitude force in the opposite direction
B.A force of the same magnitude in the same direction
C.A smaller force, since object B is being pushed rather than pushing
D.No reaction force at all, since only A is doing the pushing
Explanation: Every interaction between two bodies is mutual: object B always exerts a force on A that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force A exerts on B, regardless of the masses or motion of the two objects.
7Why does an object fully submerged in water experience an upward buoyant force?
A.Because the water pressure on the bottom of the object is greater than the pressure on the top
B.Because water molecules stick to the object's surface and pull it upward
C.Because the object always weighs less inside water than in air
D.Because water pushes equally in all directions, so all the forces cancel out
Explanation: Water pressure increases with depth, so the pressure pushing up on the bottom surface of a submerged object is greater than the pressure pushing down on its top surface. This pressure difference produces a net upward force - the buoyant force - equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
8A person holds a heavy bag completely still in the air for one minute without moving it up or down. According to the physics definition of mechanical work, how much work does the person do on the bag?
A.Zero, because the bag has no displacement
B.A large amount, because holding a heavy bag requires great effort
C.A small but nonzero amount, proportional to how long the bag is held
D.It cannot be determined without knowing the person's mass
Explanation: Mechanical work is defined as W = F·s, where s is the displacement in the direction of the force. Since the bag does not move (s = 0), no mechanical work is done on it, no matter how tiring the effort feels or how long it is held.
9A train travels 180 km in 2.5 hours at a constant speed. What is the train's average speed?
A.72 km/h
B.45 km/h
C.450 km/h
D.7.2 km/h
Explanation: Average speed equals total distance divided by total time: v = 180 km ÷ 2.5 h = 72 km/h.
10A force of 300 N is applied over a surface area of 0.5 m². What pressure does this force produce?
A.600 Pa
B.150 Pa
C.300.5 Pa
D.0.0017 Pa
Explanation: Pressure is force divided by area: p = F/S = 300 N ÷ 0.5 m² = 600 Pa.
