1. Energy Stores and Transfers | 能量储存与转移
A tennis ball is dropped from rest. Describe the energy stores and transfers that occur from the instant it leaves the hand until it hits the ground. Ignore air resistance.
一个网球从静止释放。忽略空气阻力，描述从球离开手的瞬间直到撞击地面过程中发生的能量储存与转移。
The ball initially has a gravitational potential energy store due to its height above the ground. As it falls, energy is transferred mechanically from the gravitational potential store to the kinetic store, so the ball speeds up. Just before it hits the ground, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been transferred to kinetic energy (assuming no energy is transferred to the thermal store of the surroundings).
球最初由于距地面有一定高度而储存了重力势能。下坠过程中，能量通过机械途径从重力势能储存转移至动能储存，球因此加速。在即将撞击地面前，初始的重力势能已全部转移为动能（假设没有能量转移至周围环境的热储存）。
For a mock paper question you might be asked to complete an energy transfer diagram: e in : chemical energy store in muscles → kinetic energy store of ball → gravitational potential energy store of ball when throwing upwards. Practice drawing these flow diagrams with arrows labelled 'mechanically' or 'by heating'.
模拟卷中可能要求你补全能量转移示意图：向上抛球时，肌肉中的化学能储存 → 球的动能储存 → 球的重力势能储存。养成习惯，用箭头并标注“通过机械做功”或“通过加热”来完成此类流程图。
2. Work Done and Power Calculations | 做功与功率计算
A construction crane lifts a 500 kg concrete block vertically through 12 m in 6 seconds. Calculate the work done by the crane and the useful power output. Take the gravitational field strength as 10 N/kg.
一台施工起重机在 6 秒内将一块 500 kg 的混凝土竖直提升 12 m。计算起重机所做的功和有用功率输出。重力场强度取 10 N/kg。
e = force × distance moved in the direction of the force, so W = 5000 N × 12 m = 60 000 J.
先求混凝土块的重量：重量 = 质量 × 重力场强度 = 500 × 10 = 5000 N。做功 = 力 × 沿力方向移动的距离，因此 W = 5000 N × 12 m = 60 000 J。
0 kW. Always check that you use the correct units: work in joules, time in seconds, power in watts.
功率是能量转移的速率：P = W / t = 60 000 J / 6 s = 10 000 W，即 10 kW。务必核对单位：功用焦耳，时间用秒，功率用瓦特。
W = F × d P = W / t
Common mistakes include using mass instead of weight for the force, or forgetting to square the seconds when speed appears. Always write down the formula, substitute numbers with units, and then calculate.
常见错误包括用力时误用质量而非重量，或当涉及速度时忘记秒的平方。务必先写出公式，代入带单位的数值，再计算。
3. Circuit Symbols and Current Measurement | 电路符号与电流测量
In a mock test you could be asked to draw standard circuit symbols. Recognise and draw the symbols for: cell, battery, lamp, switch (open and closed), ammeter, voltmeter, fixed resistor and variable resistor. Current is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter connected in series.
模拟测验中可能要求你画出标准电路符号。认识并能画出以下符号：单个电池、电池组、灯泡、开关（断开与闭合）、安培表、伏特表、定值电阻和可变电阻。电流用安培表以串联方式测量，单位是安培(A)。
A simple series circuit has a cell, a lamp and an ammeter. The ammeter reads 0.25 A. What is the current flowing through the lamp?
一个简单串联电路包含一个电池、一盏灯泡和一个安培表。安培表读数为 0.25 A。流过灯泡的电流是多大？
In a series circuit, current is the same everywhere. Therefore the current through the lamp is also 0.25 A. Many students wrongly think the lamp uses up some current; in fact charge is conserved and the rate of flow of charge (current) remains constant in a single loop.
在串联电路中，各处电流相同。所以流经灯泡的电流也为 0.25 A。许多学生误认为灯泡“消耗”了部分电流；实际上电荷是守恒的，在单回路中电荷的流动速率（电流）保持不变。
4. Potential Difference and Ohm's Law | 电势差与欧姆定律
Potential difference (p.d.) is measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter connected in parallel across a component. Describe an experiment to investigate how current depends on p.d. for a fixed resistor at constant temperature.
电势差（电压）用伏特表以并联方式跨接在元件两端测量，单位是伏特(V)。请描述一个实验，探究恒温下定值电阻的电流如何随电压变化。
Set up a series circuit with a cell, a variable resistor, an ammeter, and a fixed resistor. Connect a voltmeter in parallel with the fixed resistor. Adjust the variable resistor to change the current and record pairs of voltmeter and ammeter readings. Plot a graph of current (y-axis) against potential difference (x-axis). The graph should be a straight line through the origin, demonstrating that current is directly proportional to p.d., which is Ohm's law.
将电池、可变电阻、安培表和定值电阻串联，再将伏特表并联在定值电阻两端。调节可变电阻改变电流，记录多组电压和电流读数。以电流为纵轴、电势差为横轴作图。图像应是一条过原点的直线，证明电流与电压成正比，这就是欧姆定律。
V = I × R
0.4 × 15 = 6.0 V. Always check your triangle to rearrange correctly: I = V / R, R = V / I.
若一个电阻为 15 Ω，流过电流为 0.4 A，则两端电压 V = 0.4 × 15 = 6.0 V。始终借助公式变换：I = V / R，R = V / I。
5. Series and Parallel Circuits | 串联与并联电路
Compare the total resistance and the brightness of identical bulbs in series and parallel arrangements. Use the concepts of current and potential difference in your explanation.
比较同样灯泡在串联和并联连接时的总电阻与亮度，并运用电流和电势差概念加以解释。
In a series circuit, the total resistance increases as more components are added because there is only one path for current. The current is the same through each bulb, but the potential difference is shared. As a result, bulbs in series are dimmer. In a parallel circuit, each component offers an additional path, so the total resistance decreases. The p.d. across each branch equals the supply p.d., and the total current is the sum of the branch currents. Therefore bulbs in parallel glow with normal brightness.
串联电路中，电流只有一条通路，元器件增多则总电阻上升。流过每个灯泡的电流相同，但电压被分摊，因此灯泡较暗。并联电路中，每个元件提供额外路径，总电阻反而降低。各支路两端电压均等于电源电压，干路电流为支路电流之和。因此并联灯泡都能正常发光。
| Feature | Series | Parallel |
|---|---|---|
| Current | Same everywhere | Split between branches |
| Potential difference | Shared across components | Same across each branch |
| Total resistance | Increases with each resistor | Decreases with each extra branch |
常见误区是认为并联后总电阻增加；实际上额外的路径使电流更容易通过。考试中常结合电路作图与定性分析考查该知识点。
6. Forces and Elasticity | 力与弹性
A spring stretches 0.02 m when a force of 8 N is applied. Calculate the spring constant. State the relationship and use the formula.
一个弹簧在施加 8 N 的力时伸长了 0.02 m。计算弹簧劲度系数。指出两者关系并利用公式。
Hooke' re F is the force in newtons (N), k is the spring constant (N/m), and x is the extension in metres (m).
胡克定律：只要不超过弹性限度，弹簧的伸长量与所受外力成正比。公式为 F = k × x，其中 F 为力（N），k 为劲度系数（N/m），x 为伸长量（m）。
F = k × x → k = F / x
Always convert extension into metres; 2 cm must become 0.02 m. If a graph of force against extension is plotted, the spring constant is the gradient of the straight-line section.
代入数据：k = 8 N / 0.02 m = 400 N/m。务必把伸长量转换为米；2 cm 须写作 0.02 m。若绘制力-伸长量图像，直线段的斜率就是劲度系数。
7. Motion and Speed | 运动与速度
A cyclist travels 300 m in 25 s and then 450 m in 30 s. Calculate the average speed for the whole journey and explain how to read a distance–time graph.
一骑行者先用 25 s 行驶 300 m，再用 30 s 行驶 450 m。计算全程平均速度，并解释如何解读距离-时间图像。
= 25 + 30 = 55 s. Speed = 750 / 55 ≈ 13.6 m/s. Always show your working and give the unit.
平均速度 = 总路程 / 总时间。总路程 = 300 + 450 = 750 m。总时间 = 25 + 30 = 55 s。速度 = 750 / 55 ≈ 13.6 m/s。务必展现计算过程并标单位。
average speed = total distance ÷ total time
On a distance–time graph, a steeper slope represents a higher speed. A horizontal line means the object is stationary. A curved line indicates changing speed (acceleration or deceleration). To find speed at a point on a curve, draw a tangent and calculate its gradient.
在距离-时间图上，线段越陡表示速度越大；水平线段代表物体静止；曲线则表明速度在变化（加速或减速）。要计算曲线上某点的速度，可作切线并求其斜率。
8. Pressure in Fluids | 流体压强
Explain why a sharp nail penetrates wood more easily than a blunt nail when the same force is applied. Include the formula for pressure.
解释为何施加相同力时，尖锐的钉子比钝钉更容易钉入木头。需包含压强公式。
re in pascals (Pa), F is force in newtons (N), and A is the area in square metres (m²). A sharp nail has a much smaller area at its tip, so for the same force the pressure is greatly increased, allowing it to push into the wood more easily.
压强是单位面积上承受的压力。公式为 P = F / A，P 的单位是帕斯卡 (Pa)，F 是力 (N)，A 是面积 (m²)。尖锐的钉子尖端面积极小，因此在相同作用力下压强急剧增大，从而更容易压入木头。
P = F / A
In the mock test you may see a question comparing the pressure exerted by a person wearing flat shoes and stiletto heels. Calculate the pressure for each and conclude that the smaller area produces a larger pressure, which can damage floors.
模拟卷中可能出现比较平底鞋与细高跟鞋对地面压强的题目。分别计算压强即可得出：接触面积越小，压强越大，从而可能损坏地板。
9. Waves and Sound | 波与声音
A tuning fork produces a sound wave with a frequency of 440 Hz. A student measures the wavelength to be 0.78 m. Calculate the speed of sound in air. Use the wave equation.
一个音叉产生频率为 440 Hz 的声波。某学生测得其波长为 0.78 m。利用波动方程计算空气中的声速。
longitudinal waves that travel as compressions and rarefactions. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
波动方程将波速、频率和波长联系起来：波速 = 频率 × 波长。声波是纵波，以疏密相间的形式传播，不能在真空中传播。
v = f × λ
ubstitute: v = 440 Hz × 0.78 m = 343.2 m/s. The speed of sound in air is approximately 330– Also practise describing how an oscilloscope trace changes when loudness or pitch alters.
代入：v = 440 Hz × 0.78 m = 343.2 m/s。空气中声速约为 330–340 m/s。确认波长单位为米，频率为赫兹。同时练习描述示波器波形随响度或音调变化的特点。
10. Common Mistakes and Top Tips | 常见错误与高分贴士
t (mass × g), not just mass. When comparing circuits, remember that voltmeter must be in parallel and ammeter in series. In graph questions, label axes fully and write the quantity with its unit.
即使优秀学生也会因遗漏单位、视读刻度错误或混淆质量与重量而失分。始终核查：若需求力，应使用重量（质量 × g），而非直接使用质量。比较电路时牢记伏特表须并联，安培表须串联。在作图题中，完整标注坐标轴，写明物理量及其单位。
Other frequent errors: using centimetres instead of metres in pressure or spring calculations; forgetting that current is not used up; and assuming that faster objects always have larger force. Use the formula triangle method to re‑arrange equations reliably. Practise past questions under timed conditions to build exam fluency.
其他常见错误：在压强或弹簧计算中误用厘米而非米；误认为电流被用光；认为速度大的物体受力一定大。利用公式三角形法可靠地变换公式。计时演练往年真题，培养考试节奏感。
