Year 12 VCE Physics practice questions

This public preview page identifies the planned Year 12 VCE Physics demo route and links it to curriculum coverage while the reviewed sample question set is being completed.

Sample-question focus

The planned public sample is for Year 12 VCE Physics practice and will open after the demo questions are reviewed.

Skills covered

Practice motion, forces, energy, waves, electricity, fields, light, matter, data analysis, and scientific modelling.

Exercise and test mode

The route is public now; the exercise and test preview will become available after the curated question set is ready.

Curriculum link

Compare this demo with the VCE Year 11-12 Physics curriculum page to scan related topics, subtopics, and pathway coverage.

Sample VCE Year 12 Physics questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show VCE Year 12 Physics motion graphs, field diagrams, induction graphs, wave interference, photoelectric data, and experimental graphs before opening the demo.

VCE Year 12 Physics Projectile motion hard projectile diagram

1. A projectile has horizontal velocity 18 m/s and is in the air for 2.0 s. What horizontal displacement is shown?

VCE 12 projectile path 18 m/s 36 m 2.0 s
Choices
  • 36 m
  • 9 m
  • 20 m
  • 72 m
Explanation:

Horizontal velocity is constant when air resistance is ignored, so horizontal displacement is 18 x 2.0 = 36 m.

VCE Year 12 Physics Electromagnetic induction hard flux graph

2. The flux-time graph for a coil is steepest between 0.0 s and 0.2 s. During which interval is the induced emf greatest in magnitude?

VCE 12 changing flux graph 0.2 s 0.6 s flux t
Choices
  • 0.0 s to 0.2 s
  • 0.2 s to 0.6 s
  • 0.6 s to 1.0 s
  • All intervals are equal
Explanation:

The induced emf depends on the rate of change of flux. The steepest graph section gives the greatest magnitude.

VCE Year 12 Physics Light and matter hard photoelectric graph

3. The photoelectric graph crosses the frequency axis at 5.0 x 1014 Hz. What is the threshold frequency?

VCE 12 photoelectric graph 5.0 x 10^14 Hz frequency max KE
Choices
  • 5.0 x 1014 Hz
  • 2.5 x 1014 Hz
  • 1.0 x 1015 Hz
  • 5.0 J
Explanation:

The threshold frequency is the x-intercept where maximum kinetic energy is zero.

VCE Year 12 Physics Transformers hard transformer diagram

4. A transformer has 400 turns on the primary and 100 turns on the secondary. If the primary voltage is 240 V, what secondary voltage is ideal?

VCE 12 transformer ratio 400 turns 100 turns load
Choices
  • 60 V
  • 960 V
  • 240 V
  • 15 V
Explanation:

For an ideal transformer, Vs / Vp = Ns / Np. So Vs = 240 x 100 / 400 = 60 V.

VCE Year 12 Physics Gravitational fields hard orbit diagram

5. A satellite is shown moving around a planet. Which direction is the gravitational force on the satellite at the marked point?

VCE 12 orbit force diagram planet satellite F
Choices
  • Toward the planet
  • Along the tangent
  • Away from the planet
  • Opposite the velocity only
Explanation:

Gravity acts along the line joining the satellite and the planet, directed toward the planet.

VCE Year 12 Physics Wave interference hard interference diagram

6. In a double-slit setup, the screen distance and slit spacing stay fixed. If wavelength increases, what happens to bright-fringe spacing?

VCE 12 double-slit pattern slits screen bright
Choices
  • The fringe spacing increases
  • The fringe spacing decreases
  • The pattern becomes a single line
  • The central bright fringe moves off centre
Explanation:

Fringe spacing is proportional to wavelength when the other quantities are fixed, so longer wavelength gives wider spacing.

For parents comparing VCE Year 12 Physics support

VCE Year 12 Physics practice should help students connect equations to visible evidence: motion graphs, electric fields, induction, interference, photoelectric data, and experimental gradients. These examples preview that visual reasoning before the no-login VCE Physics demo.

In progress

Year 12 VCE Physics is available to purchase, and the public demo preview is still being prepared.

Students can use the purchased subject once subscribed; this anonymous preview will be opened after the curated public question set is ready.

VCE Physics practice questions FAQ

Does this page include Year 12 VCE Physics practice questions?

Not yet. The Year 12 VCE Physics demo route is public, but the interactive sample questions will open after the reviewed public set is ready.

Can students try the demo without signing up?

No sign-up is required to view the preview status. The no-login interactive demo will be available after the sample set is completed.

How does this demo relate to curriculum coverage?

This demo is linked with the VCE Year 11-12 Physics curriculum coverage page, where parents can compare the broader topic and pathway structure used for Skill Align practice.
