A cyclist moves 2 km in 4 minutes. What is the speed in m/s?
- 4 m/s
- 8.3 m/s
- 12 m/s
- 16.3 m/s
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. 8.3 m/s
v = 2000 m / 240 s = 8.33 m/s.

About Kinematics in Matric Physics
Kinematics is one of the 16 main chapters in our Federal Board Matric Physics question bank (9th class), and about 7% of its real questions come from it. Tayyari Karo has 29 real questions on this chapter from 2023 to 2026; 9 are multiple choice and marked instantly, and the rest are short and long questions with a model answer. By difficulty: 20 easy, 9 medium.

A car changes its velocity from 20 ms⁻¹ to 56 ms⁻¹ in 2 s. Its acceleration is:
- 28 ms⁻²
- 36 ms⁻²
- 10 ms⁻²
- 18 ms⁻²
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. 18 ms⁻²
a = (56 − 20)/2 = 18 ms⁻².
Which one is a scalar quantity?
- Velocity
- Force
- Energy
- Weight
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Energy
Energy has magnitude only; velocity, force and weight have direction.
In 5 s a car accelerates so that its velocity increases by 20 ms⁻¹. The acceleration is:
- 0.25 ms⁻²
- 4 ms⁻²
- 25 ms⁻²
- 100 ms⁻²
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. 4 ms⁻²
a = Δv/t = 20/5 = 4 ms⁻².
The rate of change of velocity is called:
- Speed
- Acceleration
- Force
- Motion
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Acceleration
Acceleration = change in velocity / time.
A ball is thrown straight up. What is its acceleration at the top of its path?
- Zero
- 10 m/s²
- 20 m/s²
- 5 m/s²
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. 10 m/s²
At the top the velocity is momentarily zero, but gravity still acts, so the acceleration is g = 10 m/s² downward.
Briefly describe scalar and vector quantities with one example each.
Show model answer
Scalar quantity: a physical quantity that is completely described by its magnitude (a number with a unit) only — e.g. mass (5 kg), time, speed, energy, temperature.
Vector quantity: a physical quantity that needs both magnitude and direction for its complete description and obeys the vector law of addition — e.g. force (10 N towards east), velocity, displacement, weight.
Compare scalar and vector quantities. (Any three points)
