ICSE Class 10 Work, Energy and Power — Mock Test (2027)
Free online mock test for Work, Energy and Power (ICSE Class 10 Physics) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.
What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Work, Energy and Power chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.
Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.
Sample questions
-
1.In which scenario does a force do work?
- A.When the force is applied perpendicular to the displacement.
- B.When the applied force produces displacement in the direction of the force.
- C.When the force is balanced by an equal and opposite force.
- D.When the object moves at constant velocity without any force.
-
2.Define work in the context of physics. How does this definition differ from the everyday meaning of work?
- A.In physics, work is done only when a force causes displacement; everyday work includes any effort, even without movement.
- B.Work in physics is the same as everyday work, involving any physical or mental effort.
- C.In physics, work is done only when a body is at rest; everyday work involves motion.
- D.Work in physics requires no force, only displacement; everyday work requires both force and effort.
-
3.Which of the following explains why the work done by or against gravitational force is independent of the path taken between two points?
- A.Gravitational force is a non-conservative force.
- B.Work done depends only on the initial and final positions.
- C.The path length is always the same for any route.
- D.Gravitational force varies with the path taken.
-
4.Which of the following is an example where a force does no work on a body?
- A.A body moving in a circle with uniform speed under centripetal force
- B.A body sliding down an inclined plane
- C.A body lifted vertically against gravity
- D.A body pushed along a rough surface
-
5.A boy P has a mass of $20\,\mathrm{kg}$ and is moving with a velocity of $5\,\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$. Another boy Q has a mass of $5\,\mathrm{kg}$ and is moving with a velocity of $20\,\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$. Calculate the ratio of the momentum of P and Q.
- a.$1:1$
- b.$2:1$
- c.$3:2$
- d.$1:2$
