本文将对每道题进行逐步解析，让你了解如何组织答案以获得最高分。
2. Kinematics & Dynamics | 运动学与动力学
A car accelerates uniformly from rest at 2.0 m s⁻² for 10 s. It then maintains a constant velocity for a further 20 s before decelerating uniformly to rest in 5.0 s. Sketch the velocity–time graph and calculate the total distance travelled.
一辆汽车从静止以2.0 m s⁻²匀加速10秒，之后保持匀速20秒，最后匀减速5秒至静止。画出速度–时间图并计算总行驶距离。
20 m s⁻¹. During constant velocity, v = 20 m s⁻¹, and the deceleration gives a slope of (0–20)/5 = –4.0 m s⁻².
步骤1：加速段结束时最大速度 v = u + at = 0 + 2.0 × 10 = 20 m s⁻¹。匀速段保持20 m s⁻¹，减速段斜率为 (0–20)/5 = –4.0 m s⁻²。
Step 2: The v– = area under graph. It can be split into acceleration, constant, and deceleration regions.
步骤2：v–t 图是梯形。距离 = 图线下面积。可划分为加速、匀速和减速三个区域。
400 m. Area₃ (deceleration) = ½ × 5 × 20 = 50 m. Total distance = 100 + 400 + 50 = 550 m.
步骤3：面积₁（加速）= ½ × 10 × 20 = 100 m。面积₂（匀速）= 20 × 20 = 400 m。面积₃（减速）= ½ × 5 × 20 = 50 m。总距离 = 550 m。
Common mistake: forgetting that the area under a v–t graph gives displacement (and here distance because motion is in one direction). Always label axes with units and show the braking phase clearly.
常见错误：忘记v–t图下面积表示位移（本题中因单向运动即为距离）。务必标注坐标轴单位，并清晰标出制动阶段。
3. Resolving Forces & Equilibrium | 力的分解与平衡
s of 30° and 45° with the horizontal. Determine the tension in each cable. (g = 9.8 m s⁻²)
一块12 kg的标牌由两根与水平面分别成30°和45°的缆绳悬挂。求每根缆绳的张力。（g = 9.8 m s⁻²）
Since the system is in equilibrium, the net force vertically is zero, and horizontally is zero.
步骤1：重量 W = mg = 117.6 N。系统处于平衡，竖直方向合力为零，水平方向合力为零。
Resolve horizontally: T₁ cos30° = T₂ cos45°. Vertically: T₁ sin30° + T₂ sin45° = 117.6 N.
步骤2：设 T₁ 在30°方向，T₂ 在45°方向。水平分解：T₁ cos30° = T₂ cos45°。竖直分解：T₁ sin30° + T₂ sin45° = 117.6 N。
1 = 117.6 → T₂(0.4082 + 0.7071) = 117.6 → T₂ = 117.6 / 1.1153 ≈ 105.5 N. Then T₁ ≈ 86.1 N.
步骤3：由水平方程得 T₁ ≈ 0.8165 T₂。代入竖直方程：0.8165 T₂ × 0.5 + T₂ × 0.7071 = 117.6 → T₂ ≈ 105.5 N，T₁ ≈ 86.1 N。
Always draw a free-body diagram, label forces clearly, and check that the larger tension occurs at the smaller angle – correct here since T₂ (45°) < T₁ angle? Actually 30° cable has larger horizontal component, so T₁ is smaller. That matches.
一定要画受力图，清晰标注各力；验证较小角度的缆绳张力是否更大——这里30°缆绳张力小，合理。
4. Work, Energy & Power | 功、能和功率
A 0.50 kg toy car moves at a constant speed up a slope inclined at 10° to the horizontal by a motor exerting a force of 2.0 N along the slope over 4.0 m. Calculate the useful work done, the gain in gravitational potential energy, and the efficiency of this process.
一辆0.50 kg的玩具车沿与水平成10°的斜坡匀速上升，电机沿斜面施加2.0 N的力，移动4.0 m。计算有用功、重力势能增加量以及该过程的效率。
4.0 m = 8.0 J. This is the total input energy from the motor if we assume no other losses.
步骤1：电机做的有用功 = 力 × 距离 = 2.0 N × 4.0 m = 8.0 J。这是假定没有其他损失时电机的输入总能量。
h = 4.0 sin10° = 4.0 × 0.1736 ≈ 0.694 m. Gain in GPE = mgh = 0.50 × 9.8 × 0.694 ≈ 3.40 J.
步骤2：竖直升高 h = 4.0 sin10° = 0.694 m。重力势能增加量 ΔEₚ = mgh = 0.50 × 9.8 × 0.694 ≈ 3.40 J。
Step 3: Efficiency = (useful output energy / input energy) × 100% = (3.40 / 8.0) × 100% = 42.5%. The remaining energy is dissipated against friction or internal resistance.
步骤3：效率 = (有用输出能量 / 输入能量) × 100% = (3.40 / 8.0) × 100% = 42.5%。剩余能量因摩擦或内阻耗散。
Be sure to use consistent units and specify that constant speed implies no gain in kinetic energy; all useful output goes to GPE.
注意单位一致，并明确指出匀速意味着动能无变化；全部有用输出均转化为重力势能。
5. Momentum Conservation | 动量守恒
A 2.0 kg trolley moving at 3.0 m s⁻¹ collides with a stationary 1.0 kg trolley. They stick together. Calculate the common velocity after collision and the kinetic energy lost.
一辆2.0 kg的小车以3.0 m s⁻¹与静止的1.0 kg小车碰撞后粘在一起。求碰后共同速度以及损失的动能。
ter. m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v → (2.0 × 3.0) + (1.0 × 0) = 3.0 v → v = 6.0/3.0 = 2.0 m s⁻¹.
步骤1：动量守恒：碰前总动量 = 碰后总动量 → 2.0×3.0 + 1.0×0 = (2.0+1.0)v → v = 2.0 m s⁻¹。
tial KE = ½ × 2.0 × (3.0)² = 9.0 J. Final KE = ½ × 3.0 × (2.0)² = 6.0 J. Energy lost = 9.0 – 6.0 = 3.0 J. This energy is converted to mainly heat and sound in an inelastic collision.
步骤2：初始动能 = 9.0 J，末动能 = 6.0 J，损失动能 = 3.0 J。这些能量在完全非弹性碰撞中转化为热能和声能。
Always state whether the collision is elastic or inelastic. In this case, sticking together means perfectly inelastic; momentum is conserved but KE is not.
务必说明碰撞类型：粘在一起为完全非弹性碰撞；动量守恒而动能不守恒。
6. Materials | 材料力学性质
× 10⁻⁷ m² stretches by 1.0 mm under a load of 50 N. Determine the Young modulus of copper.
一根长2.00 m、横截面积1.0 × 10⁻⁷ m²的铜丝在50 N荷载下伸长1.0 mm。求铜的杨氏模量。
nvert units: extension ΔL = 1.0 mm = 1.0 × 10⁻³ m. Cross-sectional area A = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ m².
步骤1：单位换算：伸长量 ΔL = 1.0 × 10⁻³ m，横截面积 A = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ m²。
= F/A = 50 / (1.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 5.0 × 10⁸ Pa. Strain = ΔL/L₀ = 1.0 × 10⁻³ / 2.00 = 5.0 × 10⁻⁴.
步骤2：应力 σ = F/A = 50 / (1.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 5.0 × 10⁸ Pa。应变 ε = ΔL/L₀ = 5.0 × 10⁻⁴。
× 10⁻⁴ = 1.0 × 10¹² Pa (or 1.0 TPa). This value lies within the expected range for metals.
步骤3：杨氏模量 E = 应力/应变 = 1.0 × 10¹² Pa。此值处于金属的预期范围内。
Remember to convert all units to SI before substituting into formulas. The extension must be in metres.
代入公式前务必把所有单位化为国际单位，伸长量须用米。
7. Waves & Superposition | 波的特性与叠加
Two coherent sources emit microwaves in phase. A detector is moved along a line parallel to the line joining the sources, at a distance of 2.5 m. The separation of the sources is 12 cm. The wavelength is 3.0 cm. Calculate the fringe spacing observed on this line.
两个相干源同相发射微波。探测器沿着平行于源连线的方向移动，距离源连线2.5 m。源间距12 cm，波长3.0 cm。计算该直线上观察到的条纹间距。
Δy = λD / d, where D is the distance to the screen (detector line), d is slit separation.
步骤1：使用杨氏双缝公式：条纹间距 Δy = λD / d，其中D为源到探测线的距离，d为源间距。
m, d = 12 × 10⁻² m = 0.12 m, D = 2.5 m. Δy = (0.03 × 2.5) / 0.12 = 0.075 / 0.12 = 0.625 m.
步骤2：单位统一为米：Δy = (0.03 × 2.5) / 0.12 = 0.625 m。
Step 3: The fringe spacing is 62.5 cm. Ensure you can distinguish between path difference conditions for constructive (nλ) and destructive ((n+½)λ) interference.
步骤3：条纹间距为62.5 cm。注意区分相长干涉（nλ）和相消干涉（(n+½)λ）的波程差条件。
In exam questions, often you must identify whether maxima or minima are being detected and explain the intensity variation.
考试题目常要求判断探测到的是亮纹还是暗纹，并解释强度变化。
8. Standing Waves & Resonance | 驻波与共振
A string fixed at both ends has a length of 0.80 m and vibrates in its third harmonic at 360 Hz. Calculate the wave speed and the fundamental frequency.
一根两端固定的弦长0.80 m，以第三谐波振动，频率为360 Hz。计算波速和基频。
(n=3), the string shows 3 antinodes. Length L = 3 λ/2 → λ = 2L/3 = 2 × 0.80 / 3 = 0.533 m.
步骤1：第三谐波 (n=3)，弦上有3个波腹。L = 3λ/2 → λ = 2L/3 = 0.533 m。
0 Hz × 0.533 m = 192 m s⁻¹. This speed is constant for a given tension and linear density.
步骤2：波速 v = f λ = 360 × 0.533 ≈ 192 m s⁻¹。在给定张力和线密度下波速恒定。
ency f₁ = v / (2L) = 192 / (1.6) = 120 Hz. Alternatively, fₙ = n f₁ → f₁ = 360/3 = 120 Hz.
步骤3：基频 f₁ = v/(2L) = 192/1.6 = 120 Hz，或由 fₙ = n f₁ 得 f₁ = 120 Hz。
Draw the standing wave pattern clearly, labelling nodes and antinodes. State the relationship between harmonic number and wavelength.
清晰画出驻波图样，标出波节和波腹，并说明谐波次数与波长的关系。
9. DC Circuits | 直流电路
A circuit contains a 12 V battery of negligible internal resistance, a 6.0 Ω resistor, and a 3.0 Ω resistor in parallel. Calculate the total current drawn, the current through each resistor, and the power dissipated in the 6.0 Ω resistor.
一个包含内阻可忽略的12 V电池、一个6.0 Ω和一个3.0 Ω电阻并联的电路。求总电流、每个电阻的电流，以及6.0 Ω电阻消耗的功率。
esistors, the voltage across each is 12 V. I₆ = V/R = 12/6.0 = 2.0 A. I₃ = 12/3.0 = 4.0 A.
步骤1：并联电阻两端电压均为12 V。I₆ = 12/6.0 = 2.0 A，I₃ = 12/3.0 = 4.0 A。
2: Total current I = I₆ + I₃ = 6.0 A. Equivalent resistance Rₑ = (6×3)/(6+3) = 2.0 Ω, so Itotal = 12/2.0 = 6.0 A, confirming result.
步骤2：总电流 I = 2.0 + 4.0 = 6.0 A。等效电阻 Rₑ = 2.0 Ω，Itotal = 12/2.0 = 6.0 A，相互印证。
P = I²R = (2.0)² × 6.0 = 24 W, or P = VI = 12 × 2.0 = 24 W. Always quote the formula used.
步骤3：6.0 Ω电阻功率 P = I²R = 24 W，或 P = VI = 24 W。务必写明所用公式。
When analysing circuits, redraw if necessary and label currents clearly to avoid sign errors when applying Kirchhoff’s laws.
分析电路时如有需要可重新画图，并清晰标注电流方向，以避免应用基尔霍夫定律时出现符号错误。
10. Resistivity & Experimental Skills | 电阻率与实验技巧
In an experiment to determine resistivity, a student measures the resistance of a constantan wire of diameter 0.46 mm as 4.5 Ω across a length of 1.50 m. Calculate the resistivity and comment on possible sources of error.
在测定电阻率的实验中，一名学生测得直径为0.46 mm的康铜丝在1.50 m长度上的电阻为4.5 Ω。计算电阻率并评述可能的误差来源。
ross-sectional area A = π(d/2)² = π × (0.23 × 10⁻³)² = π × (5.29 × 10⁻⁸) ≈ 1.66 × 10⁻⁷ m².
步骤1：横截面积 A = π(d/2)² = π × (0.23 × 10⁻³)² ≈ 1.66 × 10⁻⁷ m²。
8 × 10⁻⁷ Ω m. Typical for constantan is around 4.9 × 10⁻⁷ Ω m, so the result is plausible.
步骤2：电阻率 ρ = RA/L = (4.5 × 1.66 × 10⁻⁷) / 1.50 ≈ 4.98 × 10⁻⁷ Ω m。康铜的典型值约为4.9 × 10⁻⁷ Ω m，结果合理。
Step 3: Errors include: zero error on micrometer, inaccurate length measurement due to kinks, heating effect when current passes, and contact resistance. Each should be kept as small as possible, and repeated readings taken.
步骤3：误差包括：千分尺的零误差、因导线弯曲导致的长度测量不准、电流引起的热效应以及接触电阻。应尽可能减小这些误差，
