Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises the Physics Paper 1 (Theory) Kenya High School 2024 Mock Exam as a KCSE Trial Exam. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  This theory paper is divided into two sections, A and B, with all questions being compulsory. Section A consists of short-answer questions totaling 25 marks, while Section B contains longer, structured questions. The entire exam is marked out of 80 and has a duration of 2 hours. Candidates are permitted to use non-programmable electronic calculators and mathematical tables, and are reminded that all working must be clearly shown.

  The paper assesses a broad range of topics primarily from the following areas of physics:

  • Mechanics: This includes questions on linear and circular motion, forces, moments and equilibrium, stability, simple machines (pulleys), momentum, and pressure in fluids (Pascal's principle, force pumps).
  • Thermal Physics: This area covers concepts such as heat capacity, specific latent heat, thermal expansion and contraction, and modes of heat transfer like convection.
  • Properties of Matter: Questions in this domain test understanding of fluid dynamics (equation of continuity), the law of flotation, Archimedes' principle, and the estimation of molecular size.
