Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

  1. Velocity
  2. Displacement
  3. Speed
  4. Acceleration
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CSpeed
Award 1 mark for identifying speed as a scalar quantity. A is incorrect — velocity is a vector as it has both magnitude and direction. B is incorrect — displacement is a vector quantity. D is incorrect — acceleration is a vector quantity.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which statement correctly distinguishes between scalars and vectors?

  1. Scalars have units; vectors do not have units
  2. Scalars can be negative; vectors are always positive
  3. Scalars have magnitude only; vectors have both magnitude and direction
  4. Scalars are measured with rulers; vectors are measured with balances
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CScalars have magnitude only; vectors have both magnitude and direction
Award 1 mark for correct distinction. A is incorrect — both scalars and vectors can have units. B is incorrect — both scalars and vectors can be positive or negative. D is incorrect — measuring instruments are not the defining difference between scalars and vectors.

CXC CSEC Physics: Scalars and Vectors FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Scalars and Vectors are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Scalars and Vectors for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC 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 Scalars and Vectors practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC 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 Scalars and Vectors questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC 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 CXC.
How is Scalars and Vectors typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Scalars and Vectors appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC 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.
