Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What name is given to the turning effect of a force acting about a pivot?

  1. The weight
  2. The work done
  3. The moment
  4. The pressure
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CThe moment
Award 1 mark. It measures how strongly a force tends to rotate an object about a fixed point. Work done and pressure are different quantities with different units.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which everyday tool acts as a force multiplier by having the effort applied far from the pivot and the load held close to it?

  1. The crowbar
  2. The spring balance
  3. The measuring cylinder
  4. The stopwatch
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AThe crowbar
Award 1 mark. The long arm gives a large moment from a modest effort, and the short arm converts that moment back into a very large force on the load. The other items measure quantities rather than turn about a pivot.

AQA GCSE Physics: Moments, levers and gears FAQ

Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Moments, levers and gears practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Moments, levers and gears questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Moments, levers and gears typically tested on AQA GCSE Physics papers?
Moments, levers and gears appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
