9th class physics MCQs with answers — 20 for Matric practice.

Who it's for: Class 9 (Matric) physics students in Pakistan, ages 14–15, and their teachers.

These are original practice questions on topics from the Class 9 physics syllabus. They are not official board questions or past papers, so check your own board's book for exact wording.

Use them for chapter revision, a weekly class test, or self-practice before the board exam. Where a question needs g, it uses 10 m/s². Every question has one correct answer except question 5, which has two. All twenty fit in one Quizoma quiz.

12. What is momentum equal to?
    A. Mass × acceleration · B. Velocity ÷ time · C. Force ÷ mass · D. Mass × velocity ✓
13. What force gives a 2 kg mass an acceleration of 3 m/s²?
    A. 0.67 N · B. 1.5 N · C. 5 N · D. 6 N ✓
14. What is the SI unit of momentum?

15. Which of Newton's laws says every action has an equal and opposite reaction?
    A. The law of gravitation · B. The first law · C. The second law · D. The third law ✓

Work & energy

16. What is work equal to?
    A. Force ÷ displacement · B. Force × displacement ✓ · C. Power × velocity · D. Mass × velocity
17. What is the SI unit of work?
    A. Joule ✓ · B. Pascal · C. Newton · D. Watt
18. Which formula gives kinetic energy?
    A. mgh · B. ½mv² ✓ · C. mv · D. Fd
19. What is the potential energy of a 2 kg mass raised 5 m (g = 10 m/s²)?
    A. 100 J ✓ · B. 50 J · C. 20 J · D. 10 J
20. One horsepower is about how many watts?
    A. 746 W ✓ · B. 100 W · C. 1000 W · D. 550 W

Some wrong options are the usual exam mistakes. 0.1 cm in question 3 is the least count of an ordinary metre rule; 100 m/s² in question 10 multiplies instead of divides; and 550 W in question 20 mixes up the 550 foot-pound definition with watts. Quizoma's results show the accuracy of every question, so a teacher sees straight away which chapter needs another lesson.

Students can practise on their own: import the set, switch on Show Score and Retake, and it becomes a practice test they can take until every answer sticks.

How to use this template

1. Download the file: quizoma-template-class-9-physics-mcqs.csv.
2. Open Quizoma Studio in your browser (or the Android app) and choose Import from file.
3. Pick the .csv. Quizoma shows every question for review before anything is saved, so you can fix a wording, drop a question or add your own.
4. Save, then share the 6-character quiz code or QR with your class. Participants answer at quizoma.com/take in any browser.

Timing and points are set on the quiz when you import, not in the file. If you would rather not import at all, you can type the questions into the online quiz maker directly.

What is in the file

One row per question: the question, then the options, then a final correct column holding the number of the right option. Where more than one option is right, the numbers are joined with a |. The first lines look like this:

question,option1,option2,option3,option4,correct
How many base quantities are there in the SI system?,7,9,3,5,1
Speed is what kind of quantity?,Vector,Neither,Both scalar and vector,Scalar,4

Open it in any spreadsheet to edit, and save it as CSV again before importing — an .xlsx file is not read. The same format is described on the templates page.
