Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Starehe Girls’ Centre Physics Paper 1 2025 Mock Exam with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request. The marking scheme is in a different document.

  The exam paper consists of two sections (Section A and Section B) and is marked out of a total of 80 marks. It should be completed by learners within a duration of 2 hours.

  The paper is intended for Form 4 learners and assesses understanding of physics principles, interpretation of diagrams and graphs, and numerical problem-solving in line with the KCSE Physics syllabus.

  It covers the following topics:

  • Measurement using micrometer screw gauge and density determination
  • Diffusion in gases
  • Stability and centre of gravity
  • Bernoulli’s principle and lift in aircraft
  • Hooke’s law, spring constant, and elastic potential energy
  • Moments and principle of equilibrium
  • Environmental hazards such as oil spills
  • Thermal expansion and cracking of glass containers
  • Heat transfer by radiation and surface properties
  • Archimedes’ principle, upthrust, and relative density
  • Motion graphs and Newton’s laws of motion
  • Projectile motion and time of flight
  • Pressure law and gas pressure calculations in liquids
  • Circular motion and centripetal force applications
  • Work, energy, efficiency, and mechanical advantage
  • Heat capacity and specific heat capacity calculations

  Section A contains short structured questions, while Section B includes longer questions requiring clear explanations, accurate calculations, and proper application of physical laws.
