Physical Quantities, Units and Vectors — JAMB Physics Past Questions
Physical Quantities, Units and Vectors is one topic inside the JAMB Physics syllabus, and drilling it on its own is usually faster than revising the whole subject again. Below: which JAMB years have examined it, then real Physical Quantities, Units and Vectors questions with worked answers.
When JAMB examined Physical Quantities, Units and Vectors
Physical Quantities, Units and Vectors questions appear in our bank for the JAMB years below. This is taken from the questions themselves, not from a syllabus outline — so if a year is listed, this topic was genuinely examined that year.
A topic that keeps reappearing is a topic JAMB keeps testing. Newer years matter most, because question style drifts.

When a ship sails from salt water into fresh water, the fraction of its volume above the water surface will
- A Decrease
- B Increase then decrease
- C Remain the same
- D Increase
Answer: A
Fresh water is less dense than salt water, so the ship must displace more volume to float, reducing the fraction above the surface.
