1. Kinematics and Projectile Motion | 运动学与抛体运动
Kinematics deals with the description of motion using vectors such as displacement (s), velocity (v) and acceleration (a). The four SUVAT equations are fundamental for solving problems with constant acceleration in a straight line.
运动学使用位移 s、速度 v 和加速度 a 等矢量来描述运动。四个 SUVAT 方程是解决匀加速直线运动问题的基础。
= u + at s = ut + ½at² v² = u² + 2as s = ½(u + v)t
ordingly, especially when dealing with vertical motion under gravity (a = g = 9.81 m s⁻²).
务必先设定正方向并赋予相应的正负号，尤其在处理重力作用下的竖直运动时（a = g = 9.81 m s⁻²）。
the vertical motion follows SUVAT with a = g downward. Time of flight links the two independent directions.
在抛体运动中，将初速度分解为水平和竖直分量。水平分量保持恒定，竖直方向遵循 SUVAT 方程且加速度向下为 g。飞行时间是联系两个独立方向的关键量。
2. Newton's Laws and Forces | 牛顿定律与力
Newton's First Law states that an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a resultant force. Equilibrium problems often require resolving forces into components and checking that the vector sum is zero.
牛顿第一定律指出，除非受到合外力作用，物体将保持静止或匀速直线运动。平衡问题通常需要将力分解为分量，并检验矢量和为零。
Newton's Second Law, F = ma, links resultant force, mass and acceleration. It is essential to consider the net force acting on a body, especially on inclined planes where weight components (mg sinθ and mg cosθ) must be balanced with friction and normal reaction.
牛顿第二定律 F = ma 将合力、质量与加速度联系起来。必须考虑作用在物体上的净力，尤其是在斜面上，需将重力的分量 mg sinθ 和 mg cosθ 与摩擦力和法向反力平衡处理。
Newton's Third Law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. These forces act on different bodies and are always of the same type.
牛顿第三定律：每个作用力都有一个大小相等、方向相反的反作用力。这两个力作用在不同物体上，且属于同种性质的力。
3. Momentum and Impulse | 动量与冲量
Linear momentum is defined as p = mv. The principle of conservation of momentum is powerfully tested in collisions and explosions. Remember that momentum is a vector; total momentum before an interaction equals total momentum afterwards, provided no external resultant force acts.
线性动量定义为 p = mv。动量守恒原理在碰撞和爆炸问题中是高频考点。动量是矢量，若无外合力作用，相互作用前的总动量等于相互作用后的总动量。
Impulse equals change in momentum: FΔt = Δp = mv − mu. The area under a force–time graph gives impulse. In CCEA exams, careful sign convention is crucial for 2D momentum problems.
冲量等于动量变化量：FΔt = Δp = mv − mu。力—时间图像下的面积即为冲量。在 CCEA 考试中，处理二维动量问题时需格外注意正负号规定。
Distinguish between elastic collisions (kinetic energy conserved) and inelastic collisions (kinetic energy is not conserved, but momentum is). Most exam collisions are inelastic.
区分弹性碰撞（动能守恒）和非弹性碰撞（动能不守恒，但动量守恒）。考试中大多数碰撞为非弹性碰撞。
4. Work, Energy and Power | 功、能量与功率
Work done by a force is W = Fs cosθ, where θ is the angle between the force and displacement. The area under a force–distance graph also represents work. Kinetic energy is Eₖ = ½mv² and gravitational potential energy is Eₚ = mgΔh (near Earth's surface).
力做的功为 W = Fs cosθ，其中 θ 为力与位移的夹角。力—距离图像下的面积也代表功。动能为 Eₖ = ½mv²，重力势能为 Eₚ = mgΔh（近地表处）。
The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. In many mechanics problems, the loss in gravitational potential energy equals the gain in kinetic energy plus work done against friction.
能量守恒定律指出，能量既不能被创造也不能被消灭，只能转化。在许多力学问题中，重力势能的减少等于动能的增加与克服摩擦做功之和。
Power is the rate of energy transfer: P = W/t = Fv for a constant force acting on an object moving at constant velocity. Efficiency is useful output power divided by total input power.
功率是能量转移的速率：对于恒力作用于匀速运动的物体，P = W/t = Fv。效率为有用输出功率与总输入功率之比。
5. Circular Motion and Gravitation | 圆周运动与万有引力
An object moving in a circle at constant speed has a centripetal acceleration directed towards the centre: a = v²/r = rω². The centripetal force is F = mv²/r = mrω². This force is not a separate force but provided by tension, gravity, friction or the normal reaction.
做匀速圆周运动的物体具有指向圆心的向心加速度：a = v²/r = rω²。向心力为 F = mv²/r = mrω²。向心力并非一种独立的力，而是由张力、重力、摩擦力或法向反力提供。
Newton's law of gravitation states that the force between two point masses is F = GMm/r². From this, the gravitational field strength at a distance r from a mass M is g = GM/r². For a uniform field near Earth's surface, g = 9.81 N kg⁻¹.
牛顿万有引力定律指出，两质点间的引力为 F = GMm/r²。由此可得，距离质量 M 为 r 处的引力场强度为 g = GM/r²。近地表处可视为匀强场，g = 9.81 N kg⁻¹。
Satellite motion links circular motion and gravitation: for a satellite in orbit, centripetal force is supplied by gravity. This leads to relationships for orbital period and speed. Gravitational potential V = −GM/r is also an important concept in A2.
卫星运动将圆周运动与万有引力联系起来：在轨卫星的向心力由引力提供，由此可导出轨道周期和速度的关系。引力势 V = −GM/r 也是 A2 阶段的重要概念。
6. Electric Circuits and Kirchhoff's Laws | 电路与基尔霍夫定律
Ohm's law V = IR links potential difference, current and resistance. Factors affecting resistance include length, cross-sectional area and resistivity: R = ρL/A. The temperature coefficient of resistance explains why metallic conductors have higher resistance when hot.
欧姆定律 V = IR 将电势差、电流和电阻联系起来。影响电阻的因素包括长度、横截面积和电阻率：R = ρL/A。电阻温度系数解释了为何金属导体在高温时电阻增大。
Series circuits: current is the same everywhere, total resistance RT = R₁ + R₂ + ... Parallel circuits: total resistance is given by 1/RT = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ... The current divides in inverse proportion to the resistance branches.
串联电路中电流处处相等，总电阻 RT = R₁ + R₂ + ...。并联电路中总电阻由 1/RT = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ... 计算，电流按分支电阻的反比分配。
Kirchhoff's first law: sum of currents entering a junction equals sum of currents leaving. Second law: the sum of e.m.f.s around a closed loop equals the sum of potential differences. These are essential for multi-loop circuits with internal resistance.
基尔霍夫第一定律：流入节点的电流之和等于流出节点的电流之和。第二定律：沿闭合回路的电动势之和等于电势差之和。这两个定律在包含内阻的多回路电路分析中必不可少。
Potential divider circuits allow a variable output voltage. The output voltage Vout = Vin × R₂/(R₁ + R₂) is frequently examined with sensor circuits such as thermistors and LDRs.
分压器电路可提供可调输出电压。输出电压 Vout = Vin × R₂/(R₁ + R₂) 经常与热敏电阻、光敏电阻等传感器电路结合考查。
7. Waves: Interference and Diffraction | 波：干涉与衍射
Progressive waves transfer energy without transferring matter. The wave speed is v = fλ. Phase difference is measured in radians or degrees; two points one wavelength apart are in phase (2π radians).
行波传递能量而不传递介质。波速为 v = fλ。相位差以弧度或度计量；相距一个波长的两点同相（相位差为 2π 弧度）。
Coherent sources produce a stable interference pattern. In Young's double-slit experiment, fringe spacing Δx = λD/d, where D is the slit-to-screen distance and d is the slit separation. The central fringe is always bright.
相干波源产生稳定的干涉图样。在杨氏双缝实验中，条纹间距 Δx = λD/d，其中 D 为双缝到屏的距离，d 为双缝间距。中央条纹始终为亮纹。
Diffraction gratings give sharp maxima when d sinθ = nλ, where n is the order number. Diffraction is most noticeable when the gap size is comparable to the wavelength. This is why sound diffracts around doors but light does not.
衍射光栅在满足 d sinθ = nλ 时产生锐利的极大值（n 为级数）。当缝隙或障碍物尺寸与波长可比拟时，衍射现象最为显著，这就是声波能绕过门而光不能的原因。
Standing waves are formed by the superposition of two identical progressive waves travelling in opposite directions. They are characterised by nodes (zero displacement) and antinodes (maximum displacement). Resonance on strings and in pipes is a classic CCEA topic.
驻波由两列相同但传播方向相反的波叠加而成，其特征是节点（位移为零）和波腹（位移最大）。弦上和管中的共振是 CCEA 经典题型。
8. Photons and Quantum Phenomena | 光子与量子现象
A photon has energy E = hf = hc/λ, where h is Planck' ant (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J s). The electronvolt (eV) is a convenient unit: 1 eV = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.
光子能量为 E = hf = hc/λ，其中 h 是普朗克常数 (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J s)。电子伏特是一个常用单位：1 eV = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ J。
The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle-like nature of light. Einstein's equation is hf = Φ + Eₖ(max), where Φ is the work function. Key observations: there is a threshold frequency below which no electrons are emitted; maximum kinetic energy depends only on frequency, not intensity.
光电效应证实了光的粒子性。爱因斯坦方程为 hf = Φ + Eₖ(max)，其中 Φ 为功函数。关键现象：存在阈频率，低于该频率时无论如何增强光强也无法发射电子；最大动能仅取决于频率，与光强无关。
Using a stopping potential Vₛ, the maximum kinetic energy is Eₖ(max) = eVₛ. Graphs of kinetic energy against frequency yield a straight line with gradient h and x-intercept equal to the threshold frequency.
利用遏止电压 Vₛ，最大动能为 Eₖ(max) = eVₛ。动能对频率的图像为一直线，其斜率即为 h，与横轴的交点为阈频率。
Atomic line spectra arise from electrons transitioning between discrete energy levels: ΔE = E₂ − E₁ = hf. Fluorescence and the hydrogen spectrum are typical contexts. The de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p shows that particles also exhibit wave behaviour.
原子线光谱源于电子在分立能级间的跃迁：ΔE = E₂ − E₁ = hf。荧光现象和氢原子光谱是典型应用场景。德布罗意波长 λ = h/p 说明粒子也具有波动性。
9. Electric and Magnetic Fields | 电场与磁场
Electric field strength E is the force per unit positive charge: E = F/q. For a uniform field between parallel plates, E = V/d. The force on a charge in an electric field is F = qE. Fields are represented by field lines, with direction from positive to negative.
电场强度 E 是单位正电荷所受的力：E = F/q。在平行板间的匀强电场中，E = V/d。电荷在电场中受力为 F = qE。电场用从正指向负的电场线表示。
Coulomb's law gives the force between two point charges: F = kQq/r² (k = 1/(4πε₀)). Electric potential V = kQ/r, and potential energy is U = qV. The motion of charged particles in electric fields is akin to projectile motion.
库仑定律给出了两点电荷之间的力：F = kQq/r²（k = 1/(4πε₀)）。电势 V = kQ/r，电势能 U = qV。带电粒子在电场中的运动类似于抛体运动。
Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges: F = BQv sinθ for a single charge, and on a current-carrying conductor F = BIL sinθ. Use Fleming's left-hand rule to find the direction of the force.
磁场对运动电荷施加力：单个电荷受力为 F = BQv sinθ，电流导线受力为 F = BIL sinθ。用弗莱明左手定则判断力方向。
Electromagnetic induction: a changing magnetic flux induces an e.m.f., given by Faraday's law ε = −N ΔΦ/Δt. Lenz's law determines the direction of the induced e.m.f. to oppose the change. Transformers operate on this principle.
电磁感应：变化的磁通量会感应出电动势，由法拉第定律 ε = −N ΔΦ/Δt 计算。楞次定律确定感应电动势的方向总是阻碍变化。变压器正是基于此原理工作。
10. Nuclear Physics and Radioactivity | 核物理与放射性
The atomic nucleus contains nucleons: protons and neutrons. The nuclear radius obeys R = r₀A¹/³, where r₀ ≈ 1.2 fm. Mass defect and binding energy are linked by E = mc²; a larger binding energy per nucleon indicates a more stable nucleus.
原子核由核子组成：质子和中子。核半径满足 R = r₀A¹/³，其中 r₀ ≈ 1.2 fm。质量亏损与结合能由 E = mc² 关联；比结合能越大，原子核越稳定。
Radioactive decay is random and spontaneous. Alpha decay reduces A by 4 and Z by 2. Beta-minus decay increases Z by 1 and emits an electron and antineutrino. Gamma emission involves no change in A or Z but often accompanies other decays.
放射性衰变是随机且自发的。α 衰变使
