FORM FOUR PHYSICS NECTA 2008

When a bus starts or stops moving, passengers tend to be jerked forward or backward. This is due to:

  1.   Newtons 1st law of motion
  2. Newtons 2nd law of motion
  3.  Newtons 3rd law of motion
  4. Newtons law of universal gravitation 
  5.  Momentum of the bus
Choose Answer :


(ii)        Racing cars rarely get accidents despite their high speed because they:

  1. have greater momentum
  2. have big tyres with big treads
  3. have wide bases and low centre of gravity
  4. exert greater frictional force
  5. have less mass
Choose Answer :

Choose Answer :


(viii)Two coils X and Y having the same dimensions and number of turns wound around a piece of soft iron have a steady current passing through them as shown in the Figure below.

  1. End P becomes North Pole, while end Q becomes a South Pole.
  2. End P becomes a South Pole, while end Q becomes a North Pole.
  3. Both ends P and Q become North Poles.
  4. Both ends P and Q become South Poles.
  5. Neither end P nor end Q becomes poles since the effects of the two cancel out.
