1. Further Mechanics: Momentum and Circular Motion | 进阶力学：动量与圆周运动
by an object equals the change in its momentum, and can be calculated as FΔt = Δp. In two‑ to perpendicular components and apply conservation of momentum separately along each axis.
只要没有合外力作用，动量总是守恒的。物体受到的冲量等于其动量的变化量，可用 FΔt = Δp 计算。在二维问题中，必须把速度分解成互相垂直的分量，然后分别沿每个坐标轴应用动量守恒。
owards the centre. This acceleration is given by a = v²/r or a = ω²r, and the centripetal force required is F = mv²/r = mω²r. Remember that the centripetal force is not a new kind of force; it is provided by tension, gravity, friction or the normal reaction.
物体做匀速圆周运动时，速度方向不断变化，因此存在指向圆心的向心加速度。加速度表达式为 a = v²/r 或 a = ω²r，所需的向心力为 F = mv²/r = mω²r。要记住，向心力并不是一种新型的力，它可以由张力、重力、摩擦力或法向反作用力提供。
2. Coulomb's Law and Electric Fields | 库仑定律与电场
Electric fields arise from charged particles and exert forces on other charges. Coulomb' t positive charge, so E = F/q. For a point charge, the radial field strength is E = kQ/r².
电场由带电粒子产生，并对其他电荷施加力。库仑定律描述两点电荷之间的作用力：F = kQ₁Q₂/r²，其中 k = 1/(4πε₀)。电场强度 E 定义为每单位正电荷所受的力，即 E = F/q。对于点电荷，径向电场强度为 E = kQ/r²。
e separation. The work done in moving a charge q through a potential difference V is W = qV, which links to the concept of electric potential energy and equipotential surfaces.
在平行板产生的匀强电场中，场强恒定：E = V/d，其中 V 是电势差，d 是板间距。将电荷 q 移动经过电势差 V 所做的功为 W = qV，这联系到电势能的概念和等势面。
3. Capacitors and Energy Storage | 电容器与能量储存
Capacitance is defined as C = Q/V. For a parallel‑ an express the stored energy as U = ½QV = ½CV² = ½Q²/C. These three forms are useful in different problem contexts.
电容定义为 C = Q/V。对于平行板电容器，C = ε₀εᵣA/d。电容中储存的能量不仅仅是一个需要记忆的公式，它来源于分离电荷所做的功。储存的能量可表示为 U = ½QV = ½CV² = ½Q²/C，这三种形式在不同的问题情境中各有妙用。
ential change. The time constant τ = RC gives the time taken for the voltage to fall to 37% pected to interpret graphs of V, Q and I against time, and to use the equations V = V₀e⁻ᵗ/ᴿᶜ or the equivalent charging form.
在通过电阻充放电过程中，电容器两端的电压呈指数变化。时间常数 τ = RC 表示放电时电压降到初始值 37% 所需的时间。你需要会解读 V、Q 和 I 随时间变化的图像，并能使用 V = V₀e⁻ᵗ/ᴿᶜ 或对应的充电公式。
4. Magnetic Fields and Forces on Charged Particles | 磁场与带电粒子受力
to the field. The force is given by F = BQv sinθ, with the direction determined by Fleming's left‑hand rule. For a current‑carrying conductor of length L in a uniform magnetic field, the force is F = BIL sinθ.
磁场只对速度有垂直于磁场分量的运动电荷施加力。力的大小为 F = BQv sinθ，方向由弗莱明左手定则判断。对于处在匀强磁场中长为 L 的通电导体，所受安培力为 F = BIL sinθ。
force. Equating BQv = mv²/r yields the radius of the circular path: r = mv/(BQ). This principle is exploited in particle accelerators and mass spectrometers to separate isotopes and study high‑energy collisions.
带电粒子垂直射入匀强磁场时会做圆周运动，因为磁力提供了向心力。令 BQv = mv²/r，可得圆周半径 r = mv/(BQ)。这一原理被用于粒子加速器和质谱仪中，以分离同位素和研究高能碰撞。
5. Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current | 电磁感应与交流电
Faraday' ed emf in a circuit equals the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage: ε = -N dΦ/dt. Lenz' e is the product of the magnetic flux through a coil and the number of turns, Φ = BA cosθ.
法拉第电磁感应定律指出，回路中的感应电动势等于磁通量链变化率的负值：ε = -N dΦ/dt。楞次定律给出了感应电流的方向，体现在负号上。磁通量链是穿过线圈的磁通量与匝数的乘积，Φ = BA cosθ。
or a sinusoidal supply, the peak voltage V₀ and rms voltage Vᵣₘₛ are related by Vᵣₘₛ = V₀/√2 nsformer Vₚ/Vₛ = Nₚ/Nₛ = Iₛ/Iₚ. Real transformers have eddy current and hysteresis losses.
交流电是周期性地改变方向的电流。对于正弦电源，峰值电压 V₀ 与方均根电压 Vᵣₘₛ 的关系为 Vᵣₘₛ = V₀/√2。变压器利用变化的磁通来升降电压，理想变压器满足 Vₚ/Vₛ = Nₚ/Nₛ = Iₛ/Iₚ。实际变压器存在涡流和磁滞损耗。
6. Nuclear Structure and Radioactive Decay | 原子核结构与放射性衰变
owing the approximate relation R = r₀A¹/³, where r₀ ≈ 1.2 fm. Nuclear density is roughly constant at about 10¹⁷ kg m⁻³, showing that nucleons are tightly packed.
原子核由质子和中子组成，靠强核力结合在一起。原子核半径与质量数 A 相关，近似满足 R = r₀A¹/³，其中 r₀ ≈ 1.2 fm。核密度几乎恒定，约为 10¹⁷ kg m⁻³，表明核子堆积得非常紧密。
ous process. The activity A = λN decays exponentially: A = A₀e⁻λt and N = N₀e⁻λt. The half‑ to use these relationships to solve problems involving carbon dating and nuclear medicine.
放射性衰变是一个统计的、自发的过程。活度 A = λN 服从指数衰减律：A = A₀e⁻λt，N = N₀e⁻λt。半衰期 T₁/₂ 与衰变常量的关系为 T₁/₂ = ln2/λ。你必须能运用这些关系解决碳定年法和核医学等问题。
7. Nuclear Energy, Fission and Fusion | 核能、裂变与聚变
esponds to the binding energy: E = Δm c². The binding energy per nucleon peaks around iron‑56, making fusion of light nuclei and fission of heavy nuclei energetically favourable.
原子核的质量总是小于其各个独立核子的总质量。这个质量亏损 Δm 对应着结合能：E = Δm c²。每个核子的结合能曲线在铁‑56 附近达到峰值，因此轻核聚变和重核裂变在能量上都是有利的。
Nuclear fission involves a heavy nucleus splitting into two smaller fragments, often initiated by neutron absorption, releasing energy and more neutrons that can sustain a chain reaction. Nuclear fusion combines light nuclei, releasing enormous energy, but requires extremely high temperatures to overcome the Coulomb barrier. Understanding these processes is vital for applications in power generation.
核裂变是指重核分裂成两个较小的碎片，通常由中子吸收引发，释放能量和更多的中子，从而维持链式反应。核聚变则将轻核结合，释放巨大能量，但需要极高温度来克服库仑势垒。理解这些过程对于能源发电的应用至关重要。
8. Thermodynamics: Heat, Temperature and Ideal Gases | 热力学：热、温度与理想气体
on pV = nRT links macroscopic properties, while the kinetic theory model pV = ⅓ Nm <c²> connects them to microscopic behaviour. From this, the average kinetic energy of a molecule is ½ m <c²> = ³⁄₂ kT.
温度是粒子平均动能的量度。在热力学温标（开尔文）中，0 K 是绝对零度。理想气体方程 pV = nRT 把宏观属性联系起来，而动力学理论模型 pV = ⅓ Nm <c²> 将其与微观行为关联。由此得出分子的平均动能为 ½ m <c²> = ³⁄₂ kT。
is the heat added and W is the work done on the system. In an isothermal change, temperature and internal energy remain constant, so Q = -W. In an adiabatic change, Q = 0 and ΔU = W.
热力学第一定律 ΔU = Q + W 描述了热力学系统中的能量守恒，其中 ΔU 是内能变化，Q 是加入的热量，W 是对系统做的功。在等温变化中，温度和内能不变，因此 Q = -W。在绝热变化中，Q = 0，ΔU = W。
9. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) | 简谐运动
ixed equilibrium point. The defining equation is a = -ω²x. The displacement as a function of time can be written as x = A cos(ωt) or x = A sin(ωt), depending on initial conditions.
简谐运动是一种关键的振动类型，其定义是加速度与位移成正比，且始终指向一个固定的平衡点。定义方程为 a = -ω²x。位移随时间的变化可写作 x = A cos(ωt) 或 x = A sin(ωt)，取决于起始条件。
The velocity and acceleration can be derived from the gradient of displacement‑ = 2π/ω is independent of amplitude, an isochronous property that makes SHM ideal for time‑keeping in pendulums and mass‑spring systems.
速度和加速度可以从位移‑时间图像的斜率或通过求导得到。最大速率 vₘₐₓ = ωA，最大加速度 aₘₐₓ = ω²A。周期 T = 2π/ω 与振幅无关，这种等时性使简谐运动非常适合用于单摆和弹簧质量系统的计时。
Energy constantly interchanges between kinetic and potential forms. In a spring‑ ², while the total energy remains constant at ½ kA². In a simple pendulum, gravitational potential energy is involved, but the mathematical treatment is analogous.
能量在动能和势能之间不断转换。在弹簧质量系统中，动能 Eₖ = ½ mv²，弹性势能 Eₚ = ½ kx²，而总能量保持为 ½ kA² 不变。对于单摆，涉及的是重力势能，但数学处理方法类似。
10. Resonance and Damping | 共振与阻尼
Free oscillations occur at a natural frequency determined by the system's physical properties. When a periodic driving force is applied, the system undergoes forced oscillations. Resonance occurs when the driving frequency matches the natural frequency, leading to a sharp increase in amplitude. This can be destructive in bridges, but is useful in microwave heating and radio tuning.
自由振动以由系统物理性质决定的固有频率发生。当周期性驱动力作用时，系统做受迫振动。当驱动频率等于固有频率时，发生共振，振幅急剧增大。这在桥梁中可能造成破坏，但在微波加热和无线电调谐中却很有用。
Damping removes energy from an oscillating system, reducing amplitude over time. Light damping slowly reduces amplitude but does not significantly change the frequency. Critical damping returns the system to equilibrium in the shortest time without overshooting, while heavy damping results in a slow, non‑oscillatory return. Understanding these regimes is essential for designing vehicle suspensions and seismic protection.
阻尼从振动系统中耗散能量，使振幅随时间减小。轻阻尼缓慢减小振幅，但不大改变频率。临界阻尼在最短时间内使系统回复平衡且无过冲，而重阻尼则导致缓慢的、无振荡的回归。理解这些状态对于设计车辆悬挂和抗震保护至关重要。
