2. Question 1: Kinematics Graph Interpretation | 第 1 题：运动学图像解读
The first question presents a velocity‑time (v‑t) graph for a car travelling along a straight road. The graph shows a linear increase from (0, 0) to (5.0 s, 10 m s⁻¹), a constant velocity of 10 m s⁻¹ from 5.0 s to 15.0 s, and a uniform deceleration returning to zero at 20.0 s.
第一题给出了一辆汽车在笔直公路上行驶的速度‑时间（v‑t）图像。图像从 (0, 0) 到 (5.0 s, 10 m s⁻¹) 为线性上升，5.0 s 至 15.0 s 保持 10 m s⁻¹ 匀速，随后匀减速并在 20.0 s 回到零。
a) asks for the acceleration during the first 5.0 s. Acceleration is the gradient of the v‑ : a = Δv / Δt. Substituting the values gives a = (10 m s⁻¹ − 0) / (5.0 s − 0) = 2.0 m s⁻².
第 (a) 小问要求计算前 5.0 秒的加速度。加速度是 v‑t 曲线的斜率：a = Δv / Δt。代入数值得出 a = (10 m s⁻¹ − 0) / (5.0 s − 0) = 2.0 m s⁻²。
Part (b) requires the total displacement from 0 to 20.0 s. Displacement equals the area under the v‑t graph. The area can be split into a triangle (0–5 s), a rectangle (5–15 s), and another triangle (15–20 s).
第 (b) 小问需要 0 到 20.0 s 的总位移。位移等于 v‑t 图下的面积。可将总面积分成一个三角形 (0–5 s)、一个矩形 (5–15 s) 和另一个三角形 (15–20 s)。
A₁ = ½ × 5.0 s × 10 m s⁻¹ = 25 m
A₂ = 10.0 s × 10 m s⁻¹ = 100 m
A₃ = ½ × 5.0 s × 10 m s⁻¹ = 25 m
n mistake is to forget that the area of a triangle must use half the base times the height.
面积求和得总位移 = 25 m + 100 m + 25 m = 150 m。常见错误是忘记三角形面积要用底乘高的一半。
3. Question 2: Newton's Laws Application | 第 2 题：牛顿定律应用
ient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.20. The question asks for the acceleration of the block.
一个 2.0 kg 的木块在 30° 的粗糙斜面上被平行于斜面的力 F = 20 N 上拉。动摩擦系数 μ = 0.20。题目要求计算木块的加速度。
.0 kg × 9.81 m s⁻² × sin 30° = 9.81 N. The normal reaction N = mg cos 30° = 2.0 × 9.81 × (√3/2) ≈ 17.0 N.
首先分解重力：沿斜面向下的分量为 mg sin θ = 2.0 kg × 9.81 m s⁻² × sin 30° = 9.81 N。法向反力 N = mg cos 30° = 2.0 × 9.81 × (√3/2) ≈ 17.0 N。
Kinetic friction is f = μ N = 0.20 × 17.0 N = 3.4 N, acting down the slope. Using Newton's second law along the slope:
动摩擦力 f = μ N = 0.20 × 17.0 N = 3.4 N，方向沿斜面向下。沿斜面应用牛顿第二定律：
F − mg sin θ − f = m a
stituting: 20 N − 9.81 N − 3.4 N = 2.0 × a → 6.79 N = 2.0 a, so a = 3.4 m s⁻² (to 2 s.f.).
代入数据：20 N − 9.81 N − 3.4 N = 2.0 × a → 6.79 N = 2.0 a，故 a = 3.4 m s⁻²（保留两位有效数字）。
Many students forget to include friction when the slope is described as 'rough', or they draw the friction in the wrong direction. Always draw a clear free‑body diagram.
很多学生见到“粗糙”一词却忘记加入摩擦力，或者将摩擦力的方向画反。考试时务必画出清晰的受力分析图。
4. Question 3: Work and Energy | 第 3 题：功与能
A crane lifts a 500 kg mass vertically through 10 m at constant speed. The motor power rating is 60 kW, but the overall efficiency is 80%. The problem asks for the time taken and the useful work done on the load.
一台起重机以恒定速度将 500 kg 的重物竖直提升 10 m。电动机额定功率为 60 kW，但总效率仅为 80%。题目要求计算提升所需时间和对重物所做的有用功。
n in gravitational potential energy: W = mgh = 500 kg × 9.81 m s⁻² × 10 m = 4.905 × 10⁴ J.
有用输出功率 = 0.80 × 60 kW = 48 kW = 4.8 × 10⁴ W。对重物做的功等于重力势能的增加量：W = mgh = 500 kg × 9.81 m s⁻² × 10 m = 4.905 × 10⁴ J。
k / Power = (4.905 × 10⁴ J) / (4.8 × 10⁴ W) = 1.02 s (about 1.0 s to 2 s.f.). The constant‑ eans there is no net change in kinetic energy; all work goes into lifting against gravity.
时间 = 功 / 功率 = (4.905 × 10⁴ J) / (4.8 × 10⁴ W) = 1.02 s（保留两位有效数字约 1.0 s）。匀速条件意味着动能不变；所有功都用来克服重力提升物体。
A typical error is using the total motor power (60 kW) instead of the useful power after accounting for efficiency. Always check the phrasing: '80% efficiency' means only 80% of the input power does useful work.
典型错误是直接使用电动机总功率 (60 kW) 而忽略了效率折算。必须留意文字表述：“效率 80%”表示只有 80% 的输入功率转化为有用功。
5. Question 4: Momentum and Impulse | 第 4 题：动量与冲量
A 0.50 kg ball moving at 4.0 m s⁻¹ collides head‑on with a stationary 0.30 kg ball. The two balls stick together after the collision. Determine the common velocity immediately after the collision and the loss in kinetic energy.
一个 0.50 kg 的小球以 4.0 m s⁻¹ 的速度正面撞击一个静止的 0.30 kg 小球，碰撞后两者粘在一起。求碰撞后瞬间的共同速度以及动能损失。
= (m₁ + m₂) v. Since u₂ = 0, 0.50 × 4.0 = (0.50 + 0.30) v → 2.0 = 0.80 v → v = 2.5 m s⁻¹.
线动量守恒：m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v。因 u₂ = 0，得 0.50 × 4.0 = (0.50 + 0.30) v → 2.0 = 0.80 v → v = 2.5 m s⁻¹。
E = 4.0 − 2.5 = 1.5 J. This energy is converted to internal energy (heat and deformation).
初始动能 = ½ × 0.50 × (4.0)² = 4.0 J。末动能 = ½ × (0.50 + 0.30) × (2.5)² = ½ × 0.80 × 6.25 = 2.5 J。动能损失 = 4.0 − 2.5 = 1.5 J。这部分能量转化为内能（热和形变）。
Students often forget that kinetic energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions, but they still attempt to use KE conservation. Always identify the type of collision first.
学生常忘记在非弹性碰撞中动能并不守恒，却试图用动能守恒去计算。做题时一定要先判断碰撞类型。
6. Question 5: Wave Properties and Superposition | 第 5 题：波的性质与叠加
0.05 sin(2π(0.2x − 50t)), where x and y are in metres and t in seconds. The question asks to find the frequency, wavelength, and speed of the wave, and to sketch the displacement‑position graph two seconds later.
一列行波的方程为 y = 0.05 sin(2π(0.2x − 50t))，其中 x、y 以米为单位，t 以秒为单位。题目要求求出频率、波长和波速，并画出两秒后的位移‑位置图像。
2π(x/λ) = 2π(0.2x), so 1/λ = 0.2 → λ = 5.0 m. Similarly, 2π f t = 2π × 50 t, so f = 50 Hz.
与标准形式 y = A sin(2π(x/λ − f t)) 对比，可得 2π(x/λ) = 2π(0.2x)，故 1/λ = 0.2 → λ = 5.0 m。同理 2π f t = 2π × 50 t，得 f = 50 Hz。
00 m. Since the wavelength is only 5 m, the graph will look identical but the phase at any point will have changed.
波速 v = f λ = 50 Hz × 5.0 m = 250 m s⁻¹。2.0 s 后，波形向右平移了 Δx = v t = 250 × 2.0 = 500 m。由于波长仅 5 m，图像外观不变，但各点的相位已发生变化。
A common slip is mismatching the argument; always multiply the whole bracket by 2π to extract frequency and wavelength correctly.
常见失误是参数对应错误；务必把括号整体乘以 2π 来正确提取频率和波长。
7. Question 6: Circuit Analysis with Kirchhoff's Laws | 第 6 题：基尔霍夫定律电路分析
nd (E₂ = 6.0 V), and three resistors R₁ = 4.0 Ω, R₂ = 2.0 Ω, R₃ = 6.0 Ω connected in a two‑loop network. Students are asked to find the current through each resistor.
电路包含两个电池（电动势 E₁ = 12 V，忽略内阻）和（E₂ = 6.0 V），以及三个电阻 R₁ = 4.0 Ω、R₂ = 2.0 Ω、R₃ = 6.0 Ω，组成双回路网络。要求计算流过每个电阻的电流。
Assign loop currents: let I₁ flow through the left loop (E₁, R₁, R₂) and I₂ through the right loop (R₂, R₃, E₂) such that the current in R₂ is I₁ − I₂ (assuming I₁ > I₂).
设定回路电流：设左回路（E₁, R₁, R₂）电流为 I₁，右回路（R₂, R₃, E₂）电流为 I₂，则 R₂ 中的电流为 I₁ − I₂（假设 I₁ > I₂）。
Apply Kirchhoff' ₁ + 2.0 I₂ = −12. Right loop: −2.0 (I₁ − I₂) − 6.0 I₂ + 6.0 = 0 → −2.0 I₁ + 8.0 I₂ = −6.0.
对左回路应用基尔霍夫电压定律：12 V − 4.0 I₁ − 2.0 (I₁ − I₂) = 0 → −6.0 I₁ + 2.0 I₂ = −12。对右回路：−2.0 (I₁ − I₂) − 6.0 I₂ + 6.0 = 0 → −2.0 I₁ + 8.0 I₂ = −6.0。
48 − (−6.0) → −22 I₁ = −42 → I₁ = 1.91 A. Substitute back to find I₂: −2.0 × 1.91 + 8.0 I₂ = −6.0 → I₂ = (3.82 − 6.0)/8.0 = −0.273 A, meaning the direction of I₂ is opposite to the initial guess. Current through R₂ = I₁ − I₂ = 1.91 − (−0.273) = 2.18 A.
联立方程求解：将第一式乘 4 得 −24 I₁ + 8 I₂ = −48。用此式减去第二式：(−24 I₁ + 8 I₂) − (−2.0 I₁ + 8.0 I₂) = −48 − (−6.0) → −22 I₁ = −42 → I₁ = 1.91 A。回代求 I₂：−2.0 × 1.91 + 8.0 I₂ = −6.0 → I₂ = (3.82 − 6.0)/8.0 = −0.273 A，负号表示 I₂ 实际方向与假设相反。R₂ 中的电流 = I₁ − I₂ = 1.91 − (−0.273) = 2.18 A。
Always state the final currents with their correct directions and units (A). Sign conventions matter in Kirchhoff problems.
最后务必注明各电流的正确方向和单位 (A)。基尔霍夫问题中正负号的规定至关重要。
8. Question 7: Radioactive Decay and Half‑life | 第 7 题：放射性衰变与半衰期
A sample of radon‑222 has an initial activity of 800 Bq and a half‑life of 3.8 days. The question asks for (a) the decay constant λ, (b) the activity after 7.6 days, and (c) the initial number of radon‑222 atoms.
一个氡‑222 样品的初始活度为 800 Bq，半衰期为 3.8 天。题目要求计算 (a) 衰变常数 λ，(b) 7.6 天后的活度，(c) 氡‑222 原子的初始数量。
Decay constant λ = ln 2 / T₁/₂ = 0.693 / (3.8 × 24 × 3600 s). Converting to s⁻
