你将学会区分平衡力与不平衡力，并理解不平衡力如何引起速度或方向的改变。摩擦力、空气阻力、拉力等常见的接触力也会成为探究的对象。
Motion is described using quantities like speed and acceleration. The equation speed = distance ÷ time lets you calculate how fast an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, often written as a = (v - u) ÷ t. You will also interpret distance–time and speed–time graphs to analyse journeys.
运动用速度和加速度等物理量来描述。公式 速度 = 距离 ÷ 时间 可以计算物体运动的快慢。加速度是速度变化的快慢，常写作 a = (v - u) ÷ t。你还将通过解读距离–时间图和速度–时间图来分析运动过程。
4. Key Topic 2: Energy Stores and Transfers | 能量储存与转移
Energy is a central idea in physics. In Year 9 you will identify different energy stores: kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic, chemical, thermal and magnetic. Energy can be transferred from one store to another by heating, by forces doing work, or by waves.
能量是物理学的核心概念。在九年级，你将识别不同的能量储存形式：动能、重力势能、弹性势能、化学能、热能和磁能。能量可以通过加热、力做功或波等形式，从一种储存转移到另一种储存。
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only moved or converted. You will be introduced to simple calculations:
Eₖ = ½ m v² and Eₚ = m g h
where m is mass, v is speed, g is gravitational field strength and h is height. These equations help you quantify energy in real-world situations.
能量守恒定律指出，能量不能被创造或消灭，只能被转移或转换。你将初步学习简单的计算：
动能 Eₖ = ½ m v² 和 重力势能 Eₚ = m g h
其中 m 为质量，v 为速度，g 为引力场强度，h 为高度。这些公式帮助你量化现实情境中的能量。
5. Key Topic 3: Waves and Sound | 波与声音
Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. You will learn the difference between transverse waves (such as water waves and light) and longitudinal waves (such as sound). Key features you will measure include amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period.
波传递能量而不传递物质。你将学习横波（如水波、光波）和纵波（如声波）的区别。需要测量的关键特征包括振幅、波长、频率和周期。
The wave equation links these properties:
wave speed = frequency × wavelength (v = f λ)
Sound is a longitudinal wave that needs a medium to travel. You will investigate how sound travels at different speeds in solids, liquids and gases, and explore echoes, ultrasound and how our ears detect sound.
波速方程将这些属性联系起来：
