Conducting Board

The SEE Class 10 Science and Technology examination is conducted by the National Examinations Board (NEB) of Nepal through its Office of the Controller of Examinations (Class 10). It consists of a 75-mark written theory paper (3 hours) plus 25 marks of internal assessment, and students need at least 35% in theory to avoid a Non-Graded (NG) result. OpenExamPrep offers free independent practice questions on physics and ICT, chemistry, biology, and the universe. OpenExamPrep's questions are an independent English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the curriculum topics. They are not an official translation of the board paper or a simulation of its written format.

1Which of the following physical units is classified as a derived SI unit?

A.Kelvin (K)

B.Candela (cd)

C.Kilogram (kg)

D.Newton (N)

Explanation: A derived unit is defined by combining two or more fundamental SI units. The Newton (N) is the derived SI unit of force, defined as 1 N = 1 kg*m/s^2. Kelvin, Candela, and Kilogram are among the seven fundamental base SI units.

2What is the equivalent expression of 1 Joule (J) in terms of fundamental SI base units?

A.kg*m/s

B.kg*m/s^2

C.kg*m^2/s^2

D.kg*m^2/s^3

Explanation: Work or energy is defined as force multiplied by displacement (W = F * d). Since 1 Newton of force is 1 kg*m/s^2, multiplying by distance in meters (m) gives 1 Joule = 1 kg*m^2/s^2.

3A solid rectangular metal block of mass 540 g measures 10 cm by 5 cm by 4 cm. What is the density of this metal in SI units (kg/m^3)?

A.2.7 kg/m^3

B.270 kg/m^3

C.2,700 kg/m^3

D.27,000 kg/m^3

Explanation: The volume of the block is V = 10 cm * 5 cm * 4 cm = 200 cm^3 = 2.0 * 10^-4 m^3. The mass in SI units is m = 540 g = 0.54 kg. Density d = m / V = 0.54 kg / (2.0 * 10^-4 m^3) = 2,700 kg/m^3 (equivalent to 2.7 g/cm^3 * 1,000).

4What is the standard value and unit of Newton's universal gravitational constant (G)?

A.6.67 * 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2

B.6.67 * 10^-11 N*kg^2/m^2

C.9.8 m/s^2

D.6.67 * 10^11 N*m^2/kg^2

Explanation: The universal gravitational constant G was experimentally determined by Henry Cavendish and has a constant value of 6.67 * 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2 throughout the universe. It represents the gravitational force between two 1 kg masses separated by 1 meter.

5Two objects of masses 60 kg and 80 kg are placed with their centers 2.0 meters apart. What is the gravitational force between them? (G = 6.67 * 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2)

A.8.00 * 10^-8 N

B.4.00 * 10^-8 N

C.1.60 * 10^-7 N

D.3.20 * 10^-7 N

Explanation: According to Newton's law of gravitation, F = (G * m1 * m2) / d^2. Substituting the values: F = (6.67 * 10^-11 * 60 * 80) / (2.0)^2 = (6.67 * 10^-11 * 4800) / 4 = 6.67 * 10^-11 * 1200 = 8.004 * 10^-8 N, approximately 8.00 * 10^-8 N.

6If the distance between two masses is doubled while their masses remain unchanged, how does the gravitational attraction between them change?

A.It becomes double

B.It becomes half

C.It becomes one-fourth

D.It remains unchanged

Explanation: Newton's law of gravitation states that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two bodies (F ∝ 1/d^2). When distance is doubled (2d), the new force is F' ∝ 1/(2d)^2 = 1/(4d^2) = F/4, meaning it decreases to one-fourth of its original value.

7The mass of the Moon is 7.35 * 10^22 kg and its radius is 1.74 * 10^6 m. Using G = 6.67 * 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface?

A.1.62 m/s^2

B.2.45 m/s^2

C.4.90 m/s^2

D.9.80 m/s^2

Explanation: Acceleration due to gravity is given by g = (G * M) / R^2. Substituting the Moon's parameters: g = (6.67 * 10^-11 * 7.35 * 10^22) / (1.74 * 10^6)^2 = (4.902 * 10^12) / (3.028 * 10^12) = 1.619 m/s^2, or approximately 1.62 m/s^2 (about 1/6th of Earth's gravity).

8When a cable supporting an elevator snaps and the car falls freely under gravity, what will a weighing scale inside the elevator read for a passenger of mass 60 kg?

A.0 N

B.294 N

C.588 N

D.1176 N

Explanation: During free fall, both the passenger and the elevator accelerate downward at a = g. The apparent weight measured by a scale is given by R = m(g - a). When a = g, R = m(g - g) = 0 N. This condition is called weightlessness.

9Which scientific principle states that pressure applied to an enclosed liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions?

A.Archimedes' Principle

B.Boyle's Law

C.Bernoulli's Principle

D.Pascal's Law

Explanation: Pascal's Law states that when pressure is applied to a liquid contained in an enclosed vessel, it is transmitted equally and perpendicularly in all directions throughout the liquid. This forms the foundation of hydraulic machines like hydraulic brakes and presses.

10In a hydraulic press, the cross-sectional area of the smaller piston is 0.02 m^2 and that of the larger piston is 0.80 m^2. If an input force of 150 N is exerted on the smaller piston, what load can the larger piston support?

A.3.75 N

B.375 N

C.6,000 N

D.12,000 N

Explanation: By Pascal's Law, pressure is transmitted equally: P1 = P2, which means F1 / A1 = F2 / A2. Rearranging gives F2 = F1 * (A2 / A1) = 150 N * (0.80 m^2 / 0.02 m^2) = 150 * 40 = 6,000 N.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the SEE Class 10 Science and Technology examination?

The official assessment is a 75-mark written theory paper (3 hours) plus 25 marks of internal assessment. It is a written board examination, not a multiple-choice test.

What score is needed to pass SEE Class 10 Science and Technology?

Under NEB's letter-grading rules, students need at least 35% of the theory marks. A lower theory score is recorded as Non-Graded (NG) for the subject.

What happens if a student is Non-Graded (NG) in Science and Technology?

Students who are NG in up to two subjects can sit the grade-increment (supplementary) examination announced by NEB after the results; others take the subject again in a later regular examination.

Are these practice questions official NEB papers?

No. OpenExamPrep's questions are an independent English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the curriculum topics.
