Sample VMBO KB Nask I Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your VMBO KB Nask I exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In a physics and chemistry laboratory (nask-lokaal), a student notices a hazard symbol displaying a flame icon (ontvlambaar pictogram) on a chemical container. What does this safety symbol indicate?

A.The substance is toxic if swallowed.

B.The substance can easily catch fire.

C.The substance is corrosive to skin and eyes.

D.The substance is explosive when shaken.

Explanation: The flame symbol (ontvlambaar) indicates that the substance is flammable and easily ignites when exposed to heat, sparks, or open flames. Safety precautions require keeping it away from Bunsen burners and heat sources.

2In physics, formulas use standard SI units (grootheden en eenheden). What is the standard SI unit for mass (massa) in Dutch physics calculations?

A.Gram (g)

B.Kilogram (kg)

C.Milligram (mg)

D.Newton (N)

Explanation: The standard SI base unit for mass (massa) is the kilogram (kg). While grams are used in chemistry for small quantities, standard physics formulas like F = m · g require mass to be expressed in kilograms.

3A student uses a graduated cylinder (maatcilinder) to measure the volume of a liquid. How should the student correctly read the liquid level to avoid a parallax error (afleesfout)?

A.Look down from above the liquid surface.

B.Look up from below the cylinder base.

C.Read the bottom of the curved liquid surface (meniscus) at eye level.

D.Read the top edge of the liquid surface while standing up.

Explanation: To accurately measure liquid volume in a graduated cylinder, your line of sight must be level with the bottom of the liquid curve, known as the meniscus. Looking from an angle above or below introduces a parallax error.

4When using a Bunsen burner (bunsenbrander) in the laboratory, a student needs a high-temperature flame to heat a test tube strongly. Which flame setting should be used?

A.Yellow luminous flame (gele pauzevlam) with air hole closed.

B.Non-luminous blue flame (kleurloze vlam) with air hole partially open.

C.Roaring blue flame (ruisende blauwe vlam) with air hole fully open.

D.Smoky soot flame (roetende vlam) with gas tap turned down.

Explanation: Opening the air hole fully allows maximum oxygen to mix with the gas, producing a roaring blue flame (ruisende blauwe vlam). This is the hottest flame setting used for strong heating.

5A beaker contains 2.5 liters (L) of liquid. Convert this volume to cubic centimeters (cm³).

A.25 cm³

B.250 cm³

C.2500 cm³

D.25000 cm³

Explanation: Since 1 liter (L) equals 1 cubic decimeter (dm³) and 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³ (or 1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm³), multiplying 2.5 L by 1000 yields 2500 cm³.

6Which of the following correctly pairs a physical quantity (grootheid) with its corresponding SI unit (eenheid)?

A.Quantity: Mass (massa) | Unit: Newton (N)

B.Quantity: Force (kracht) | Unit: Newton (N)

C.Quantity: Time (tijd) | Unit: Hour (h)

D.Quantity: Distance (afstand) | Unit: Kilometer (km)

Explanation: Force (kracht, F) is a physical quantity measured in the SI unit Newton (N). Mass is measured in kilograms (kg), time in seconds (s), and distance in meters (m).

7A wooden rod is aligned along a millimeter ruler. The left end is at the 2.0 cm mark and the right end is at the 5.4 cm mark. What is the length of the wooden rod?

A.3.4 cm

B.5.4 cm

C.7.4 cm

D.3.0 cm

Explanation: Length is calculated by subtracting the initial reading from the final reading: 5.4 cm - 2.0 cm = 3.4 cm.

8A distance-time graph ((s,t)-diagram) shows a cyclist moving in a straight line. The graph shows a straight upward line from (t = 0 s, s = 0 m) to (t = 20 s, s = 100 m). What is the average speed (gemiddelde snelheid) of the cyclist?

A.0.2 m/s

B.2.0 m/s

C.5.0 m/s

D.2000 m/s

Explanation: Average speed is calculated using v = s / t. Here, distance s = 100 m and time t = 20 s. Therefore, v = 100 m / 20 s = 5.0 m/s.

9A car travels at a speed of 15 m/s. What is this speed in kilometers per hour (km/h)?

A.4.17 km/h

B.30 km/h

C.54 km/h

D.150 km/h

Explanation: To convert speed from m/s to km/h, multiply by 3.6: 15 m/s · 3.6 = 54 km/h.

10A student conducts an experiment lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes. How many total seconds (s) did the experiment take?

A.135 s

B.2150 s

C.8100 s

D.12900 s

Explanation: Convert hours and minutes to seconds: 2 hours = 2 · 3600 s = 7200 s. 15 minutes = 15 · 60 s = 900 s. Total time = 7200 s + 900 s = 8100 s (or 2.25 hours · 3600 s/h = 8100 s).

About the VMBO KB Nask I Exam

VMBO KB Nask I Study Tips from Top Performers

1Map revision to CE units K/3, K/4, K/5, K/8 and K/9; keep SE-only topics (K/6, K/7, K/10) in PTA practice, not as CE substitutes.

2Drill woordformules with units: R = U/I, P = U·I, druk = F/A, v = s/t, Fz = m·g, stopafstand = reactieafstand + remweg.

3Practise series vs parallel: same current in series; same voltage across parallel branches.

4For materials, link properties (geleiding, dichtheid, corrosie) to applications and hazard pictograms.

5Use these English MCQs for concept drill, then switch to Dutch Facet sample papers on Examenblad/oefensite for authentic digital timing.

6Check Septembermededeling and vakspecifieke informatie each year for Facet aids and Binas edition rules.
