Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the unit of force?

  1. The joule (J)
  2. The watt (W)
  3. The pascal (Pa)
  4. The newton (N)
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — The newton (N)
Award 1 mark. Force is measured in newtons, named after Isaac Newton. The joule is the unit of energy, the watt the unit of power, and the pascal the unit of pressure.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which force opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding over each other?

  1. Tension
  2. Friction
  3. Upthrust
  4. Magnetism
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Friction
Award 1 mark. Friction acts along the surfaces, against the direction of sliding. Tension acts in a stretched rope or string, upthrust is the push of a fluid, and magnetism acts between magnetic materials.

Edexcel GCSE Physics: Forces and their effects 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 their effects 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 their effects 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 their effects typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Physics papers?
Forces and their effects 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.
