Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which piece of equipment is used to measure the extension of a spring in the lab?

  1. A newtonmeter
  2. A stopwatch
  3. A thermometer
  4. A metre rule
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — A metre rule
Award 1 mark. The length of the spring is measured with a metre rule before and after stretching. A newtonmeter measures force, a stopwatch measures time, and a thermometer measures temperature.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is upthrust?

  1. The weight of an object when it is in a fluid
  2. The upward force of a fluid on an object in it
  3. The air resistance on an object as it falls
  4. The downward pull of gravity in the water
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — The upward force of a fluid on an object in it
Award 1 mark. Upthrust is caused by the fluid pressure being greater below an object than above it. It is not the object's weight, it is not air resistance, and it acts upwards rather than downwards.

Edexcel GCSE Physics: Forces and matter FAQ

Is Kramizo free for Edexcel 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 Forces and matter practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel 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 Forces and matter questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel 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 Edexcel 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 Edexcel.
How is Forces and matter typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Physics papers?
Forces and matter appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel 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.
