30 Most Important Physics ICSE Class 10
Questions with Simple Answers
1. What is the SI unit of force? 🏋️
Answer: The SI unit of force is Newton (N). One Newton is the force needed
to make a 1 kg object move faster by 1 meter per second every second.
Think of it like the push you need to move a heavy book on a table.
2. State Newton's First Law of Motion. 🧘
Answer: Newton's First Law says that an object at rest will stay at rest, and
an object in motion will keep moving in the same direction at the same
speed, unless a force acts on it. For example, a ball on the ground won't
move until you kick it, and once kicked, it keeps rolling until friction stops it.
3. What is the difference between mass and weight? ⚖️
Answer: Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in
kilograms (kg). It stays the same everywhere. Weight is the force of gravity
pulling on that mass and is measured in Newtons (N). Your mass is the

, same on Earth and the Moon, but your weight is less on the Moon because
gravity is weaker there.
4. Define velocity and how it differs from speed. 🧭
Answer: Speed tells you how fast something is moving (like 50 km/h).
Velocity tells you how fast something is moving AND in which direction (like
50 km/h towards the north). So velocity includes direction, while speed
does not.
5. What is the principle of conservation of energy? ♻️
Answer: The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot
be created or destroyed; it can only change from one form to another. For
example, when you drop a ball, its potential energy (stored energy) converts
to kinetic energy (movement energy) as it falls.
6. Explain the term 'acceleration'. 🚗💨
Answer: Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. If a car speeds
up from 0 to 60 km/h in 10 seconds, it is accelerating. Acceleration can also
mean slowing down (called deceleration) or changing direction.
7. What is meant by the term 'work' in physics? 🔧
Answer: In physics, work is done when a force moves an object in the
direction of the force. Work = Force × Distance moved in the direction of
force. If you push a box across the floor, you are doing work. But if you
push a wall and it doesn't move, no work is done!
8. State Ohm's Law. 🔌
Answer: Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is
directly proportional to the voltage across it, provided the temperature
remains constant. The formula is V = I × R, where V is voltage, I is current,
and R is resistance.
9. What is the difference between series and parallel circuits? 🔋
