NEET Pattern Practice Questions — Class 11 Physics Notes

Twenty-Nine Questions. Twenty-Nine Minutes. Go.

Section 11 taught you the NEET way through this chapter — the recall tables, the projectile chooser, the resultant shortcuts, the circular-motion card, the relative-velocity templates. This section finds out whether any of it survives contact with a clock.

There is no new physics below. There are 29 questions built the way NEET builds them, and one rule that matters more than all the others: you are being tested on pace, not on cleverness. If a question here needs three lines of algebra, you have misread it.

How to attempt this set

Key Point: Sit down with a blank sheet, a pen and a timer. Attempt all 29 questions in one unbroken sitting, and do not read a single explanation until you have written your last answer. A drill you pause to check is a reading exercise, and reading exercises do not build speed.

The setup	What it is
Number of questions	29
Marking scheme	$+4$ correct, $-1$ incorrect, $0$ unattempted
Maximum score	$29 \times 4 = 116$ marks
Minimum possible score	$29 \times (-1) = -29$ marks
Suggested time limit	29 minutes (NEET pace: 45 Physics questions in about 45 minutes, so roughly 1 minute each)
Take $g$ as	10 m/s^2 throughout
Useful values	$\sin 37° = 0.6$ , $\cos 37° = 0.8$ , $\sin 53° = 0.8$ , $\cos 53° = 0.6$ , $\sqrt{2} = 1.41$ , $\sqrt{3} = 1.73$
Allowed	a rough sheet and your memory
Not allowed	calculator, formula sheet, or a glance back at Sections 1 to 11

[Important] The 29-minute limit is the whole exercise. Most students can get 25 of these right given an hour — and an hour is exactly what the real paper will not give you. Finishing in 29 minutes with 23 correct puts you in far better shape than taking 55 minutes to get 27. Keep the timer where you can see it, and when a question passes 60 seconds, mark your best surviving option and move on.

Here is the arithmetic that makes that instruction safe. A blind guess among four options is worth $\frac{4 - 3}{4}$ , essentially nothing. But once you have eliminated two options, a guess between the last two is worth $\frac{4 - 1}{2} = +1.5$ marks on average. Eliminate first, then commit. Leave blank only what you could not narrow down at all.

What this set covers

Topic map and self-scoring card for the 29-question NEET drill

Topic	Questions	How many
Scalar versus vector recall and vector definitions	Q1 to Q4	4
Resultants and components in single-step form	Q5 to Q9	5
Projectiles: time of flight, height, range, complementary angles, horizontal projection	Q10 to Q16	7
Circular motion: centripetal acceleration, angular speed, period, rpm	Q17 to Q21	5
Relative velocity: rain and rivers	Q22 to Q24	3
Assertion-reason and column matching	Q25 to Q29	5

That weighting is not arbitrary — it is how NEET actually samples Motion in a Plane. Projectiles alone are 7 of the 29, because in the real paper they carry more marks from this chapter than anything else. Vectors and circular motion take another 14 between them, and they are the fastest marks on the page if the definitions and the four circular-motion relations are properly memorised.

The last five drill the two formats NEET uses and JEE does not: three assertion-reason items and two column matches. If you have never sat one of those under time pressure, they are the questions here most likely to cost you marks.

[Important] Notice what is not in this set: no projectile on an inclined plane, no radius of curvature, no cross products, no differentiation of a position vector. NEET does not ask them from this chapter. Every question below can be finished with one formula from the Section 11 cards, one definition, or one right-angled triangle. If you find yourself wanting calculus, you are working too hard — and you are probably solving a question that is not there.

The difficulty mix is deliberately NEET-calibrated: roughly 35% easy, 45% medium and 20% hard.

Mark It Honestly, Then Read Your Own Answer Sheet

Score with the real scheme: $+4$ for every correct answer, $-1$ for every wrong one, $0$ for every blank. No half marks for "I nearly had that one". The number you end up with is the number that means something.

The bands

Your score (out of 116)	Verdict	What to do next
97 to 116	NEET ready. Over 83% on a full-length set, inside the time.	This chapter is now free marks for you. Revisit only the items you missed and move to the next chapter.
74 to 96	Fast but leaky. You know the material; something leaks on the way to the answer sheet.	Almost always a misread question or a dropped $\sin$ or $\cos$ , not a gap. Redo every wrong question without the explanation first, and see how many you fix alone.
46 to 73	Recall gaps. The speed is not the problem; the lookup is.	Go back to Section 11's cards — the projectile chooser, the resultant shortcuts, the circular card, the river templates — and learn them as flashcards. Then re-attempt this set cold.
Below 46	Rebuild first.	Work Sections 1 to 7 properly, then Section 11, then Section 8's solved examples. Re-attempting this set today would teach you nothing except the answer key.

Sort your mistakes into three piles

Do this before you read a single explanation. It is the most useful ten minutes in this section.

Did not know it. A definition you had never learnt, a formula you could not recall, the rpm-to-rad/s conversion you had to derive. Cheapest to fix — it is a memory job, and it takes an evening.
Knew it, computed it wrong. You used $\sin$ where $\cos$ belonged, or squared the radius instead of the speed, or forgot to halve something. Slow down for four seconds on the final line.
Knew it, answered a different question. You gave the range when it asked for the height, the angular speed when it asked for the linear speed, the shortest-time route when it asked for the zero-drift route. NEET's distractors are built specifically to reward this mistake.

Key Point: Two students both score 84. The first has four pile-1 mistakes and a syllabus gap that revision closes in a day. The second has nine pile-3 mistakes and a reading habit that will follow them into the exam hall. Pile 3 is the expensive one — count it before you explain it away.

The seven recall facts this set keeps testing

Add components, never magnitudes. $|\vec{A} + \vec{B}|$ equals $A + B$ only when the two vectors are parallel, and it can be as small as $|A - B|$ .
The bound $|A - B| \le R \le A + B$ answers every "which value is impossible" question in about four seconds.
A projectile's horizontal velocity never changes, so its speed at the top is $v_0\cos\theta_0$ and never zero.
Complementary angles give equal ranges, and nothing else in common — the times of flight are in the ratio $\tan\theta$ and the heights in the ratio $\tan^2\theta$ .
Horizontal projection: $t = \sqrt{2h/g}$ , and the horizontal speed plays no part in that time.
Uniform circular motion is accelerated motion. $a_c = \frac{v^2}{R} = \omega^2 R$ , directed to the centre, with $\vec{v} \perp \vec{a}$ throughout.
$N$ rpm is $\omega = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$ rad/s. Convert before you substitute, never after.

One more pass, then move on

Every question below has a full step-by-step explanation, and most of them name the shortcut that would have got you there faster. Read the explanation even for the questions you got right — on a paper this tight, the difference between a 30-second method and a 90-second method decides whether you finish Physics at all.

[Important] When you are done, do not immediately re-attempt the set. You would be scoring your memory of the answer key, not your physics. Leave it a week, then sit it again cold with the same 29-minute timer. The second score is the honest one.
