What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 0625 Physics papers and filtered to motion. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on motion, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Averaging two speeds when the times spent at each are different.
- Excluding a stationary period from a total journey time.
- Reading a value off one axis instead of subtracting between two points.
- Treating a horizontal line on a speed-time graph as stationary.
- Confusing gradient with area, so acceleration is read off as an area.
- Saying a heavier object falls faster when air resistance has been ruled out.
- Saying an object at terminal velocity has stopped, or is still accelerating.
- Describing a straight speed-time line as increasing acceleration.
Revise it first
