Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises the Physics Paper 1 (Theory) Maseno School Mock Exam as a KCSE Trial Exam, administered in July/August 2024. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  This paper is divided into two sections, A and B, with all questions being compulsory. Section A consists of 14 short-answer questions for a total of 25 marks. Section B contains 5 longer, structured questions totaling 55 marks. The entire examination is marked out of 80, and candidates are permitted to use silent, non-programmable electronic calculators.

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

  • Mechanics: This includes questions on forces (moments, center of gravity, Hooke's Law), motion (velocity-time graphs, terminal velocity), and momentum (impulse, Newton's laws of motion).
  • Properties of Matter: Questions in this domain test understanding of the particulate nature of matter, molecular size estimation, and the kinetic theory of gases.
  • Thermal Physics: This area covers concepts such as heat transfer, thermal expansion, specific heat capacity calculations, and the working principles of a refrigerator.
  • Fluid Dynamics and Pressure: This includes calculations on atmospheric pressure, application of Bernoulli's principle, and the Law of Floatation (hydrometers and upthrust).
