1. Motion and Forces | 运动与力
Scalars have magnitude only (e.g., speed, distance, mass), whereas vectors have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, displacement, force). Vector quantities can be represented by arrows, where the length indicates magnitude and the arrowhead shows direction.
标量只有大小（如速率、距离、质量），而矢量既有大小又有方向（如速度、位移、力）。矢量可用箭头表示，箭头长度代表大小，箭头指向代表方向。
The average speed of an object is the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken. The instantaneous speed may vary; distance–time graphs provide a visual representation of motion, with the gradient equal to speed.
物体的平均速率是总路程除以总时间。瞬时速率可能发生变化；距离–时间图可以直观地描述运动，其斜率等于速率。
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It can be calculated using a = (v – u) / t. A velocity–time graph's gradient gives acceleration, and the area under the graph represents the displacement (distance in a given direction). Newton's Second Law states F = m × a, linking resultant force, mass, and acceleration.
加速度是速度的变化率。可用 a = (v – u) / t 计算。速度–时间图的斜率表示加速度，图线下面积表示位移（指定方向上的距离）。牛顿第二定律 F = m × a 将合力、质量和加速度联系起来。
2. Energy | 能量
Energy can be stored in various forms, such as kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic, thermal, and chemical. The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can be transferred usefully, stored, or dissipated, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
能量可以储存为多种形式，如动能、重力势能、弹性势能、热能和化学能。能量守恒定律指出，能量可以被有效转移、储存或耗散，但既不能被创造也不能被消灭。
Kinetic energy is given by Eₖ = ½ m v², and gravitational potential energy by Eₚ = m g h. Work done is equal to the energy transferred when a force moves an object: W = F × d. Power is the rate of energy transfer, calculated by P = E / t or P = W / t.
动能公式为 Eₖ = ½ m v²，重力势能为 Eₚ = m g h。力对物体做功等于转移的能量：W = F × d。功率是能量转移的速率，用 P = E / t 或 P = W / t 计算。
Efficiency measures how much of the total input energy is transferred usefully. It can be expressed as a ratio or percentage. Sankey diagrams illustrate energy transfers, with arrow widths proportional to the amount of energy. Renewable energy resources, like solar and wind, are replenished rapidly, whereas non-renewable fuels, such as coal and oil, will run out.
效率衡量输入总能量中有多少被有效转移，可用比值或百分比表示。桑基图用箭头宽度代表能量大小，展示能量转移过程。可再生能源（如太阳能和风能）能迅速再生，而非可再生能源（如煤和石油）终将耗尽。
3. Waves | 波
Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. In transverse waves, oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer (e.g., light, water ripples). In longitudinal waves, oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer (e.g., sound waves).
波传递能量而不传递物质。在横波中，振动方向垂直于能量传递方向（如光波、水波）。在纵波中，振动方向平行于能量传递方向（如声波）。
The wave equation links wave speed, frequency, and wavelength: v = f × λ. The period of a wave is the time for one complete oscillation, and it is the reciprocal of frequency: T = 1 / f. All waves can undergo reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
波速方程联系了波速、频率和波长：v = f × λ。波的周期是一个完整振动所需的时间，是频率的倒数：T = 1 / f。所有波都能发生反射、折射和衍射。
Sound waves are longitudinal and require a medium. The speed of sound varies in different materials, being fastest in solids and slowest in gases. Ultrasound has a frequency above 20 000 Hz and is used for medical imaging and industrial flaw detection.
声波是纵波，需要介质传播。声速在不同材料中不同，在固体中最快，在气体中最慢。超声波频率高于20 000 Hz，可用于医学成像和工业探伤。
4. Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum | 光与电磁波谱
Electromagnetic (EM) waves are transverse waves that travel at 3.0 × 10⁸ from radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, to gamma rays.
电磁波是横波，在真空中以 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s 的速度传播。电磁波谱按频率递增、波长递减的顺序，依次为无线电波、微波、红外线、可见光、紫外线、X 射线和伽马射线。
Different EM waves have distinct properties and applications. Radio waves are used for communication, microwaves for cooking and satellite transmissions, infrared for thermal imaging, visible light for sight, ultraviolet for sunbeds and sterilisation, X-rays for medical imaging, and gamma rays for cancer therapy.
不同电磁波具有独特的性质和应用。无线电波用于通信，微波用于烹饪和卫星传输，红外线用于热成像，可见光产生视觉，紫外线用于日光浴和消毒，X 射线用于医学成像，伽马射线用于癌症治疗。
When light travels from one medium to another, it changes speed and direction — a phenomenon called refraction. The refractive index n relates the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in the material. Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, and is used in optical fibres.
光从一种介质进入另一种介质时，速度和方向改变，这称为折射。折射率 n 是真空中光速与介质中光速的比值。当入射角大于临界角时发生全内反射，应用于光纤中。
5. Electricity | 电学
Electric current is the rate of flow of charge. In metals, current is a flow of electrons. Charge is calculated by Q = I × t, where I is current in amperes and t is time in seconds. Potential difference (voltage) measures the energy transferred per unit charge.
电流是电荷流动的速率。在金属中，电流是电子的流动。电荷量由 Q = I × t 计算，其中 I 是电流（安培），t 是时间（秒）。电位差（电压）衡量单位电荷转移的能量。
Ohm's law states that the current through a resistor is directly proportional to the potential difference, provided temperature remains constant: V = I × R. In a series circuit, current is the same everywhere, while the supply voltage is shared. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same, and current splits between branches.
欧姆定律指出，在温度不变时，通过电阻器的电流与电位差成正比：V = I × R。在串联电路中，电流处处相等，而电源电压被各元件分担。在并联电路中，各支路电压相同，电流在各支路分配。
Electrical power is the rate at which energy is transferred: P = I × V and P = I² R. The energy transferred is E = P × t. The National Grid distributes electricity at high voltages to reduce energy loss due to heating in cables, using step-up and step-down transformers.
电功率是能量转移的速率：P = I × V 以及 P = I² R。转移的能量为 E = P × t。国家电网通过升压和降压变压器，以高电压输电，减少电缆发热造成的能量损耗。
6. Magnetism and Electromagnetism | 磁与电磁
A magnetic field is a region where magnetic materials experience a force. The field lines point from north to south. Unlike poles attract and like poles repel. An electromagnet is created by passing a current through a coil of wire, often with an iron core to strengthen the field.
磁场是磁性材料受到力的区域。磁感线由北指向南。异极相吸，同极相斥。电磁铁由电流通过线圈产生，通常加入铁芯以增强磁场。
The motor effect describes the force experienced by a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field. The force can be increased by using a stronger magnet, a larger current, or more turns in the coil. Fleming's left-hand rule predicts the direction of the force.
电动机效应描述通电导体在磁场中所受的力。使用更强的磁铁、更大的电流或更多线圈匝数，力会增大。弗莱明左手定则可以确定力的方向。
Electromagnetic induction occurs when a conductor cuts magnetic field lines, inducing a potential difference. A generator produces alternating current (a.c.) by rotating a coil in a magnetic field. Transformers change the voltage of an a.c. supply, following Vₚ / Vₛ = Nₚ / Nₛ, assuming 100% efficiency.
电磁感应发生在导体切割磁感线时，会产生感应电势差。发电机通过线圈在磁场中旋转产生交流电。变压器改变交流电的电压，遵循 Vₚ / Vₛ = Nₚ / Nₛ（假设效率理想）。
7. Particle Model of Matter | 物质的粒子模型
Density is mass per unit volume: ρ = m / V. The particle model explains the arrangement and motion of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases fill the entire container.
密度是单位体积的质量：ρ = m / V。粒子模型解释了固体、液体和气体中粒子的排列与运动。固体有固定的形状和体积，液体有固定体积但形状随容器而变，气体则充满整个容器。
Internal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of particles. Heating increases internal energy, which can raise the temperature or cause a change of state. Specific heat capacity is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 °C: ΔE = m c Δθ.
内能是粒子动能与势能的总和。加热增加内能，进而升高温度或引起物态变化。比热容是使 1 千克物质温度升高 1 °C 所需的能量：ΔE = m c Δθ。
During a change of state, the temperature remains constant while energy is absorbed or released as latent heat. Specific latent heat of fusion applies to melting/freezing, and specific latent heat of vaporisation applies to boiling/condensing: E = m L.
在物态变化过程中，温度保持恒定，同时能量以潜热形式被吸收或释放。熔化/凝固涉及比熔化潜热，汽化/液化涉及比汽化潜热：E = m L。
8. Atomic Structure | 原子结构
Atoms contain a small, dense nucleus made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons arranged in shells. The atomic (proton) number defines the element, and the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
原子包含一个由质子和中子构成的微小致密原子核，电子按壳层排列在外围。原子序数（质子数）决定元素种类，质量数是质子与中子总数。同位素是质子数相同但中子数不同的同种元素原子。
Some nuclei are unstable and emit radiation to become more stable. The three types of nuclear radiation are alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ). Alpha particles are helium nuclei, beta particles are high-speed electrons, and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves. Their penetrating and ionising abilities differ.
某些原子核不稳定，通过放射辐射变得更稳定。核辐射有三种：阿尔法（α）、贝塔（β）和伽马（γ）。α 粒子是氦核，β 粒子是高速电子，γ 射线是电磁波。它们的穿透能力和电离能力各不相同。
Radioactive decay is random, but the half-life is the time taken for the activity of a sample to halve. Nuclear equations balance mass and charge. Nuclear fission is the splitting of a large nucleus, and nuclear fusion is the joining of small nuclei; both release enormous energy.
放射性衰变是随机的，但半衰期是样品放射性活度减半所需的时间。核反应方程体现质量数和电荷数守恒。核裂变是大核分裂，核聚变是小核合并；两者都释放巨大能量。
9. Space Physics | 空间物理
Our Solar System consists of the Sun, eight planets, their moons, and smaller bodies like asteroids and comets. Gravity provides the centripetal force that keeps planets and satellites in orbit. Orbital speed, period, and radius are related by v = 2π r / T.
我们所在的太阳系包括太阳、八大行星、各自的卫星，以及小行星和彗星等小天体。引力提供向心力，使行星和卫星保持在轨道上运行。轨道速率、周期和半径的关系为 v = 2π r / T。
ulae) pulled together by gravity. Fusion of hydrogen into helium releases energy in a star' ite dwarf. More massive stars may end as supernovae and then neutron stars or black holes.
恒星由引力作用下汇聚的尘埃气体云（星云）形成。恒星核心中氢聚变为氦，释放能量。与太阳类似的恒星生命周期为：主序星 → 红巨星 → 行星状星云 → 白矮星。质量更大的恒星可能以超新星爆发告终，最终成为中子星或黑洞。
The observation of redshift in light from distant galaxies tells us that the Universe is expanding. The greater the distance, the larger the redshift, supporting the Big Bang theory. Evidence includes cosmic microwave background radiation and the relative abundance of light elements.
观测到遥远星系的光谱存在红移，表明宇宙正在膨胀。距离越远，红移越大，这支持了大爆炸理论。证据包括宇宙微波背景辐射以及轻元素的相对丰度。

When tackling problems, always show your working. Convert prefixes (e.g., kilo, milli) to standard form. Draw clear diagrams for forces. For calculations, select the correct equation, substitute values with units, and check that your answer is reasonable. In graph questions, describe the relationship using phrases like 'directly proportional' or 'inversely proportional'.
解答问题时，务必展示步骤。将单位前缀（如千、毫）转换成标准幂次形式。绘制清晰的受力图。计算时，选择正确的公式，代入带单位的数值，并检查答案是否合理。面对图表题，用“成正比”或“成反比”等术语描述变量关系。
Practical skills are embedded throughout the course. Be familiar with measuring instruments such as rulers, stopwatches, ammeters, voltmeters, and thermometers. Understand how to plan an investigation, identify variables (independent, dependent, control), process data, and evaluate errors and anomalies. A good revision strategy involves practising past-paper questions under timed conditions.
实验技能贯穿整个课程。请熟悉刻度尺、秒表、电流表、电压表和温度计等测量仪器。理解如何设计探究实验，识别变量（自变量、因变量、控制变量），处理数据并评价误差与异常值。高效的复习策略是在计时条件下练习历年真题。
