Everyday Science flashcards for PPSC One-Paper MCQ Test
25 of 50 cards from the Everyday Science deck — real questions with worked answers.
State Newton's first law of motion.
A body remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force (law of inertia).
What is the SI unit of force, and how is it defined?
The newton (N). One newton is the force that gives a 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s squared.
Write the formula for kinetic energy.
KE = 1/2 m v squared, where m is mass and v is velocity.
What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface (standard value)?
Approximately 9.8 m/s squared (often taken as 9.81 m/s squared).
State the law of conservation of energy.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. Total energy stays constant.
What is the speed of light in a vacuum?
Approximately 3 x 10^8 metres per second (about 300,000 km/s).
What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature?
Approximately 343 m/s (about 330-340 m/s), much slower than light.
Why does a stick appear bent when partly placed in water?
Because of refraction the bending of light as it passes from water (denser) to air (rarer).
Which type of lens is used to correct short-sightedness (myopia)?
A concave (diverging) lens.
Which type of mirror is used in vehicle rear-view/side mirrors and why?
A convex mirror, because it gives an erect, diminished image and a wider field of view.
State Ohm's law and its formula.
The current through a conductor is proportional to the voltage across it: V = I R (Voltage = Current x Resistance).
What is the SI unit of electric current?
The ampere (A).
What is the SI unit of electrical resistance?
The ohm.
What is electric power and its basic formula?
Power is the rate of using electrical energy: P = V I (also P = I squared R), measured in watts.
What are the magnetic poles of the Earth, and how does a compass align?
Earth acts like a giant magnet; a compass needle aligns roughly north-south, its north pole pointing toward Earth's magnetic north.
What is the SI base unit of length, mass, and time?
Metre (length), kilogram (mass), and second (time).
How many SI base units are there, and name any two besides metre, kilogram, second?
Seven base units; examples include ampere (current), kelvin (temperature), mole (amount), and candela (luminous intensity).
What is the unit of temperature in the SI system and the value of absolute zero in Celsius?
The kelvin (K); absolute zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius (0 K).
What are the three subatomic particles and their charges?
Proton (positive), neutron (neutral), and electron (negative).
What is the atomic number of an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus of its atom.
What is an isotope?
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons (different mass numbers).
Who arranged the modern periodic table and on what basis?
Henry Moseley arranged it by increasing atomic number; Mendeleev's earlier table was by atomic mass.
What does the pH scale measure, and what value is neutral?
It measures acidity/alkalinity from 0 to 14; 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, above 7 is basic.
What is produced when an acid reacts with a base?
A salt and water (neutralization reaction).
Give the chemical name and formula of common table salt.
Sodium chloride, NaCl.
Planning Everyday Science for PPSC One-Paper MCQ Test
Everyday Science is about 17% of the PPSC One-Paper MCQ Test syllabus by topic count — 18 of 108 topics, spread over 5 chapters. At roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic, a first pass runs to about 15 hours.
The heaviest chapters are Physics (4 topics), Chemistry (4 topics), Biology (4 topics) . Front-load those while your energy is high; the short chapters are better revision filler later.
Work top-down: read the chapter, then tick topics off individually rather than marking the whole chapter done. Sub-topics are where silent gaps hide.
