1. Speed and Distance-Time Graphs | 速度与距离-时间图
A common question asks you to calculate the speed of an object from a distance-time graph. If the graph shows a straight line, the speed is constant. You simply pick two points on the line, read the distance travelled and the time taken, then use the formula:
一种常见题型是让你根据距离-时间图计算物体的速度。如果图中是一条直线，说明速度是恒定的。你只需要在直线上选取两个点，读出移动的距离和所用的时间，再套用公式即可：
speed = distance ÷ time
3.6: 20 × 3.6 = 72 km/h. When the graph line becomes horizontal, the object is stationary – or the instantaneous speed by drawing a tangent. Always include the correct unit in your final answer and show your working clearly to gain method marks.
例如，一辆汽车在 5 秒内行驶了 100 米，它的速度为 100 m ÷ 5 s = 20 m/s。如果题目要求以 km/h 为单位表示速度，就需要乘以 3.6：20 × 3.6 = 72 km/h。当图线变为水平线时，物体处于静止状态——距离不再随时间变化。如果是曲线，说明速度在变化，此时你只能求出某段时间内的平均速度，或者通过画切线求出瞬时速度。无论哪种情况，最后都要带上正确的单位，并在卷面上写出清晰的计算过程以拿到方法分。
2. Acceleration and the Change in Velocity | 加速度与速度变化量
Acceleration tells us how quickly the velocity of an object changes. The key equation you need to remember is:
加速度描述的是物体速度变化的快慢。你需要掌握的核心公式是：
acceleration = (final velocity – initial velocity) ÷ time taken
or in symbols, a = (v – u) ÷ t city v, and the time t. Substitute the values directly and calculate. Pay attention to units: if velocity is given in m/s and time in seconds, acceleration will be in m/s². A negative acceleration means the object is decelerating. Sometimes you are asked to rearrange the formula – Practise using the equation in different forms so that you can do it quickly in the exam.
用符号表示为 a = (v – u) ÷ t。在 WJEC 试卷中，通常会给初速度 u、末速度 v 和时间 t，直接代入计算即可。注意单位：若速度单位是 m/s，时间单位是秒，则加速度单位为 m/s²。加速度为负值表示物体在减速。有时题目会要求你变形公式——例如求末速度：v = u + at。平时要多练习不同形式的运用，这样在考场上才能快速、准确地作答。
3. Forces and Newton's Second Law | 力与牛顿第二定律
A typical question provides the mass of an object and the resultant force acting on it, then asks for the acceleration. You must use:
典型题目会给出物体的质量和作用在它上面的合力，然后要求计算加速度。你需要使用：
resultant force = mass × acceleration
or F = m a ct on the object, first find the net force by subtracting opposing forces. For example, a 10 N push to the right and 4 N friction to the left give a resultant force of 6 N to the right. Then use F = m a to find the acceleration. Also be prepared to relate this to everyday situations: a larger resultant force gives a larger acceleration, and a more massive object requires a larger force to achieve the same acceleration.
即 F = m a。需要牢记：力 F 必须是合力（非平衡力），单位为牛顿；质量 m 的单位为千克；加速度 a 的单位为 m/s²。如果物体受到多个力，要先求出净力，即用同向力之和减去反向力。例如，一个 10 N 向右的推力和一个 4 N 向左的摩擦力，合力为向右的 6 N。再代入 F = m a 求加速度。同时要能够联系生活实际：合力越大，加速度越大；质量越大的物体，要获得同样的加速度需要更大的力。
4. Energy Stores and Transfers | 能量储存与转移
Questions on energy often ask you to identify the energy stores at the start and at the end of a process. For a ball thrown upwards, chemical energy in the muscles transfers to kinetic energy of the ball, then as it rises, kinetic energy is transferred to gravitational potential energy. At the highest point, the kinetic store is minimum and the gravitational store is maximum. WJEC expects you to use the terms: kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, thermal energy, elastic potential energy, chemical energy, and sometimes nuclear or electrostatic energy. You should describe energy transfers using the phrase 'energy is transferred from the ... store to the ... store'. Avoid using the word 'lost' – energy is never lost, only transferred to less useful stores, often thermal energy of the surroundings.
关于能量的题目通常会要求你指出一个过程中开始和结束时对应哪种能量储存。以向上抛出的球为例：肌肉中的化学能转移为球的动能，球上升时动能又转移为重力势能。在最高点，动能储存最少，重力势能储存最多。WJEC 要求你使用以下术语：动能、重力势能、热能、弹性势能、化学能，有时还会涉及核能或静电能量。描述能量转移时，应使用“能量从……储存转移至……储存”的句式，避免使用“损失”这个词——能量永远不会消失，只是转移到不太有用的储存中，通常是周围环境的热能储存。
5. Work Done and Power | 做功与功率
Work done and power appear frequently in calculations. Work done is the energy transferred when a force moves an object. The equation is:
做功和功率的计算题出现频率很高。做功是指力使物体移动时所转移的能量。公式为：
work done = force × distance moved in the direction of the force
With symbols, W = F d 20 N weight by 2 metres, the work done is 20 × 2 = 40 J. Power is the rate of doing work:
用符号表示为 W = F d。功的单位是焦耳（J），力是牛顿（N），距离是米（m）。将 20 N 的重物举高 2 米，做功为 20 × 2 = 40 J。功率是做功的快慢程度：
power = work done ÷ time
or P = W ÷ t nds, the power is 20 W. In the exam, be careful to convert all distances to metres and all times to seconds before calculating. Show the rearrangement steps if the question gives power and time and asks for work done.
即 P = W ÷ t。功率的单位是瓦特（W），1 W = 1 J/s。若上述 40 J 的举升用时 2 秒，则功率为 20 W。在考试中，务必先将所有距离换算为米、所有时间换算为秒再代入计算。如果题目给出功率和时间，要求计算做功，要写出公式变形过程。
6. Series and Parallel Circuits | 串联与并联电路
Circuit questions test your understanding of current and potential difference. In a series circuit, the current is the same everywhere. The potential difference from the battery is shared between the components. If two identical bulbs are in series, each gets half the battery voltage. In a parallel circuit, each branch receives the full battery voltage. The total current from the battery is the sum of the currents in the branches. This explains why household lights are wired in parallel – each bulb gets the full 230 V and operates independently. You may be asked to draw circuit diagrams with correct symbols for a cell, battery, switch, lamp, resistor, ammeter and voltmeter. Remember: an ammeter is always connected in series, while a voltmeter is connected in parallel across the component you are measuring.
电路题考察你对电流和电压的理解。在串联电路中，各处电流相等，电池的电压由各个用电器共同分担。如果两个相同的灯泡串联，每个灯泡分得一半的电池电压。在并联电路中，每条支路都能获得电池的满电压，而电池输出总电流等于各支路电流之和。这解释了为什么家庭照明都采用并联方式——每个灯泡都能得到 230 V 电压并独立工作。考试可能会要求你绘制电路图，正确使用电池、开关、灯泡、电阻器、电流表和电压表的符号。注意：电流表必须串联接入电路，而电压表则需并联在待测元件两端。
7. Resistance and Ohm's Law | 电阻与欧姆定律
The relationship between potential difference, current and resistance is given by:
电压、电流与电阻之间的关系由以下公式表示：
potential difference = current × resistance
or V = I R quantities and asks for the third. For example, if a resistor has a potential difference of 6 V across it and a current of 2 A flowing through it, its resistance is R = V ÷ I = 3 Ω. If the potential difference is fixed, a component with higher resistance will have a smaller current. You also need to know that in a graph of current against potential difference for a fixed resistor, the line is straight and passes through the origin – s constant. For a filament lamp, the line curves as resistance increases with temperature.
即 V = I R。电压 V 的单位是伏特（V），电流 I 的单位是安培（A），电阻 R 的单位是欧姆（Ω）。典型题目会给出三个量中的两个，要求计算第三个。例如，一个电阻两端的电压为 6 V，通过它的电流为 2 A，则电阻 R = V ÷ I = 3 Ω。在电压固定的情况下，电阻越大的元件通过的电流越小。你还要知道，对于定值电阻，电流与电压的关系图是一条过原点的直线，这表明电阻不变；而对于灯丝灯泡，图线会发生弯曲，因为温度升高电阻增大。
8. Density and States of Matter | 密度与物态
Density links mass and volume and helps explain why solids are generally denser than gases. The formula is:
密度将质量和体积联系起来，并能解释为什么固体通常比气体密度大。公式为：
density = mass ÷ volume
or ρ = m ÷ V s the mass and asks you to calculate the density after finding the volume of a regular solid using length × width × height. Remember to convert all length measurements to the same unit before calculating volume. You might also be asked to describe an experiment to find the density of an irregular solid using a displacement can and a measuring cylinder. The increase in water volume equals the volume of the object.
即 ρ = m ÷ V。质量的单位是千克（kg）或克（g），体积的单位是立方米（m³）或立方厘米（cm³），密度的单位则为 kg/m³ 或 g/cm³。常见题目会给出质量，要求你通过长×宽×高算出规则固体的体积，然后求密度。计算体积之前，一定要把所有长度单位统一。你还可能被要求描述如何用溢水罐和量筒测量不规则固体的密度：排开水的体积等于物体的体积。
9. Waves: Frequency, Wavelength and Speed | 波：频率、波长和波速
Wave questions often use the equation that links speed, frequency and wavelength:
关于波的题目经常用到波速、频率和波长之间的关系式：
wave speed = frequency × wavelength
or v = f λ. Speed v is in metres per second (m/s), frequency f in hertz (Hz), and wavelength λ in metres (m). If you are given the frequency and the wavelength, multiply them to get the wave speed. When you need to find the frequency from a diagram, count the number of complete waves in a certain time or the number of cycles per second. Also remember that when a wave moves from one medium to another, its speed and wavelength change but its frequency stays the same. This principle often appears in questions about refraction, such as light entering glass or water.
即 v = f λ。波速 v 的单位是米每秒（m/s），频率 f 的单位是赫兹（Hz），波长 λ 的单位是米（m）。若已知频率和波长，两者相乘即可得波速。当需要从图形中找出频率时，数一数某段时间内完整波的个数，或者每秒的周期数。还要记住，当波从一种介质进入另一种介质时，波速和波长会改变，但频率保持不变。这一原理常出现在折射相关的题目中，例如光进入玻璃或水中的情景。
10. The Electromagnetic Spectrum | 电磁波谱
The electromagnetic spectrum groups together all types of electromagnetic radiation, from radio waves to gamma rays. You need to know the order in terms of decreasing wavelength: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma ray. As you move from radio to gamma, frequency and energy increase, while wavelength decreases. Questions may ask you to describe a use for each part of the spectrum: radio waves for broadcasting, microwaves for cooking and satellite communication, infrared for remote controls and thermal imaging, visible light for sight, ultraviolet for fluorescent lamps and security markings, X-rays for medical imaging, and gamma rays for sterilising medical equipment and cancer treatment. Be aware of the potential dangers: ultraviolet can cause skin cancer, X-rays and gamma rays are ionising and can damage cells.
电磁波谱涵盖了从无线电波到伽马射线的所有电磁辐射。你需要知道它们按波长递减的顺序排列：无线电波、微波、红外线、可见光、紫外线、X 射线、伽马射线。从无线电波到伽马射线，频率和能量逐渐增大，而波长逐渐减小。题目可能会要求你描述电磁波谱各部分的用途：无线电波用于广播，微波用于烹饪和卫星通信，红外线用于遥控器和热成像，可见光用于视觉，紫外线用于荧光灯和防伪标记，X 射线用于医学影像，伽马射线用于医疗器械消毒和癌症治疗。同时要了解潜在的危险：紫外线可导致皮肤癌，X 射线和伽马射线具有电离作用，会损伤细胞。
11. Heating and Thermal Energy Transfer | 加热与热传递
Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction happens mainly in solids, where vibrating particles pass energy to neighbouring particles. Metals are good conductors because they have free electrons that move easily. Convection occurs in liquids and gases: warmer, less dense fluid rises, and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a convection current. Radiation is the transfer of energy by infrared waves and does not require particles – it can travel through a vacuum, which is how the Sun's energy reaches Earth. A typical exam question might ask you to explain how a radiator heats a room: it warms the air nearby by conduction, the warm air rises by convection, and the radiator also emits infrared radiation that heats objects directly.
热能可以通过传导、对流和辐射三种方式传递。传导主要发生在固体中，振动着的粒子将能量传递给相邻粒子。金属是良导体，因为它们拥有能够自由移动的自由电子。对流发生在液体和气体中：较暖、密度较小的流体会上升，较冷、密度较大的流体会下沉，由此形成对流循环。辐射是通过红外波传递能量的过程，不需要介质——它能在真空中传播，这也是太阳能量到达地球的方式。典型的考试题目可能会让你解释暖气片如何加热房间：暖气片通过热传导加热附近的空气，暖空气通过对流上升，同时暖气片还发出红外辐射直接加热物体。
12. Final Tips for the Exam | 考前终极建议
Always read the question carefully and circle the command words like 'calculate', 'describe' or 'explain'. For calculations, write down the equation you are using and show every step. Use a ruler and pencil for diagrams, and label all parts neatly. Check your units and convert if needed. In longer explanation questions, use scientific vocabulary and link ideas logically. Finally, manage your time: if you are stuck on a question, move on and come back later. A well-structured answer that uses the correct terminology will always score more marks than a rushed, unclear one.
仔细阅读题目，圈出指令词，例如“计算”、“描述”或“解释”。计算题要写出所用的公式，并展示每一个步骤。画图要使用直尺和铅笔，并清晰地标注各个部分。检查单位，必要时进行换算。在较长的解释性题目中，使用科学词汇，并逻辑清晰地串联观点。最后，合理分配时间：被某道题目卡住时，先往下做，回头再思考。一份结构清晰、术语准确的答案，永远比一份匆忙模糊的答案更容易拿到高分。
