1. Kinematics: Velocity-time Graph Analysis | 运动学：速度-时间图分析
A car accelerates uniformly from rest with an acceleration of 2 m/s² for 10 seconds. State the final velocity, sketch the velocity-time graph, and use the graph to find the total distance covered.
一辆汽车从静止开始以 2 m/s² 的加速度匀加速行驶 10 秒。写出末速度，画出速度-时间图像，并利用图像求总行驶距离。
ecause acceleration is constant. Distance travelled equals the area under this line: area of a triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 10 s × 20 m/s = 100 m. Always remember that the area under a velocity-time graph gives displacement.
末速度 v 由 v = u + at 求得，其中 u = 0，a = 2 m/s²，t = 10 s。因此 v = 0 + 2 × 10 = 20 m/s。因为加速度恒定，图像是一条从 (0,0) 上升至 (10,20) 的直线。行驶距离等于直线下的面积：三角形面积 = ½ × 底 × 高 = ½ × 10 s × 20 m/s = 100 m。务必记住，速度-时间图像下的面积代表位移。
2. Dynamics: Inclined Force and Resultant Motion | 动力学：斜向拉力与合运动
A box of mass 5 kg is pulled along a frictionless horizontal surface by a force of 20 N applied at 30° above the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal acceleration of the box.
一个质量为 5 kg 的箱子在光滑水平面上受到 20 N 的力拉动，力与水平方向成 30° 角。计算箱子的水平加速度。
e contributes to acceleration. Resolve the force: F_horizontal = 20 N × cos 30° = 20 N × (√3 e vertical component is balanced by the normal reaction, and since the surface is frictionless there is no opposing force horizontally.
只有拉力的水平分量产生加速度。分解力：F_水平 = 20 N × cos 30° = 20 N × (√3/2) ≈ 17.32 N。根据牛顿第二定律 F = ma，加速度 a = F_水平 / m = 17.32 N / 5 kg ≈ 3.46 m/s²。竖直分量与法向反作用力平衡，且由于表面光滑，水平方向上没有阻力。
3. Work, Energy and Power: Free Fall Conversion | 功、能和功率：自由落体转换
taking g = 10 m/s², find the speed of the stone just before impact. Ignore air resistance.
一个质量为 0.5 kg 的石头从离地 20 m 高处自由落下。运用能量守恒，取 g = 10 m/s²，求石头击中地面前的速率。忽略空气阻力。
ust before hitting the ground, all GPE has become KE: ½ m v² = 100 J. Rearranging gives v² = (2 × 100) / 0.5 = 400, so v = √400 = 20 m/s. Energy methods often provide a quicker solution than kinematic equations, especially when the path is vertical.
石头下落时重力势能转化为动能。初始时刻 GPE = mgh = 0.5 × 10 × 20 = 100 J，KE = 0。即将落地时所有势能变为动能：½ m v² = 100 J。整理得 v² = (2 × 100) / 0.5 = 400，因此 v = √400 = 20 m/s。当路径为竖直时，能量法往往比运动学方程更快捷。
4. Pressure: Force, Area and Units | 压强：力、面积与单位
A person weighing 600 N stands on one foot. The contact area between the foot and the ground is 0.02 m². Calculate the pressure exerted on the ground in pascals.
一个体重 600 N 的人单脚站立。脚与地面的接触面积为 0.02 m²。计算对地面施加的压强（单位帕斯卡）。
ent to 30 kPa. If the person stood on both feet, the area would double and the pressure would halve, illustrating the inverse relationship between pressure and area for a constant force.
压强 p 定义为单位面积上的力：p = F / A。此处的力为体重 600 N，面积为 0.02 m²。因此 p = 600 / 0.02 = 30 000 Pa，即 30 kPa。如果人双脚站立，面积加倍，压强减半，这体现了力一定时压强与面积的反比关系。
5. Thermal Physics: Specific Heat Capacity | 热学：比热容
200 g of water is heated from 20 °C to 80 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/(kg°C). Calculate the amount of thermal energy transferred to the water.
将 200 g 水从 20 °C 加热到 80 °C。水的比热容为 4200 J/(kg°C)。计算传递给水的热能。
First convert mass to kilograms: 200 g = 0.2 kg. The temperature change Δθ = 80 – is no change of state; if boiling or melting occurred, latent heat would also be involved.
先把质量换算为千克：200 g = 0.2 kg。温度变化 Δθ = 80 – 20 = 60 °C。热能 Q = m c Δθ = 0.2 × 4200 × 60 = 0.2 × 252 000 = 50 400 J，即 50.4 kJ。注意公式 Q = m c Δθ 仅在无物态变化时成立；若发生沸腾或熔化，还需考虑潜热。
6. Waves: The Wave Equation | 波：波动方程
A transverse wave has a frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 0.6 m. Determine the speed of the wave and state the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed.
一列横波的频率为 50 Hz，波长为 0.6 m。求波速，并说明频率、波长和波速之间的关系。
ental for all types of waves, including sound and light. Remember that frequency remains constant when a wave passes from one medium to another, so wavelength changes if speed changes.
波速 v 等于频率与波长的乘积：v = f λ。代入已知数值，v = 50 Hz × 0.6 m = 30 m/s。该方程对所有类型的波（包括声波和光波）都适用。记住，当波从一种介质进入另一种介质时频率保持不变，因此若波速变化，波长也会改变。
7. Optics: Convex Lens Image Formation | 光学：凸透镜成像
An object is placed 15 cm from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm. Using the lens formula, calculate the image distance and the magnification. State whether the image is real or virtual.
一个物体置于焦距为 10 cm 的凸透镜前 15 cm 处。利用透镜公式计算像距和放大率，并说明像是实像还是虚像。
ance, and v image distance. With f = 10 cm, u = 15 cm (real object so positive), 1/v = 1/f – 1/u = 1/10 – 1/15 = 3/30 – al and inverted. A magnification greater than 1 means the image is larger than the object.
透镜公式为 1/f = 1/u + 1/v，其中 f 为焦距，u 为物距，v 为像距。f = 10 cm，u = 15 cm（实物为正），1/v = 1/f – 1/u = 1/10 – 1/15 = 3/30 – 2/30 = 1/30，故 v = 30 cm。放大率 m = v / u = 30/15 = 2。由于 v 为正，像是倒立的实像。放大率大于 1 表示像比物大。
8. Electricity: Series Circuit Analysis | 电学：串联电路分析
Two resistors of 4 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in series to a 12 V battery. Calculate the total resistance, the current flowing in the circuit, and the potential difference across the 6 Ω resistor.
两个电阻值分别为 4 Ω 和 6 Ω 的电阻器串联后连接到 12 V 电池上。计算总电阻、电路中的电流以及 6 Ω 电阻器两端的电压。
For resistors in series, total resistance Rtotal = R₁ + R₂ = 4 + 6 = 10 Ω. Current I is the same everywhere in a series circuit: I = V / Rtotal ops across the 4 Ω resistor. This demonstrates the potential divider principle in series circuits.
串联电阻的总电阻 R_总 = R₁ + R₂ = 4 + 6 = 10 Ω。串联电路中各处电流相等：I = V / R_总 = 12 V / 10 Ω = 1.2 A。6 Ω 电阻器两端的电压 V₆ = I × R = 1.2 × 6 = 7.2 V。剩余的 4.8 V 降落在 4 Ω 电阻器上。这体现了串联电路的分压原理。
9. Electromagnetism: Force on a Current-carrying Conductor | 电磁学：通电导线在磁场中的力
A straight wire of length 0.5 m carries a current of 5 A perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of flux density 0.2 T. Calculate the magnitude of the force on the wire and state the rule used to determine its direction.
一根长 0.5 m 的直导线载有 5 A 的电流，且与磁感应强度为 0.2 T 的匀强磁场垂直。计算导线受力的大小，并说明判断力方向所用的规则。
Therefore F = 0.2 T × 5 A × 0.5 m × 1 = 0.5 N. The direction of the force is given by Fleming’s left-hand rule: thumb (thrust), first finger (field), second finger (current). This force is the basis of electric motors.
通电导线在磁场中所受的力为 F = B I L sin θ，其中 θ 为磁场方向与电流方向的夹角。此处 θ = 90°，sin 90° = 1。因此 F = 0.2 T × 5 A × 0.5 m × 1 = 0.5 N。力的方向由弗莱明左手定则确定：拇指（推力）、食指（磁场）、中指（电流）。该力是电动机的基础原理。
10. Nuclear Physics: Half-life and Radioactive Decay | 核物理：半衰期与放射性衰变
A radioactive sample has a half-life of 8 days. Determine the fraction of the original sample that remains after 24 days. If the initial mass of the sample was 10 g, what mass is left?
某放射性样品的半衰期为 8 天。求 24 天后剩余质量占原样品的比例。如果样品初始质量为 10 g，剩余质量是多少？
lives elapsed in 24 days is 24 / 8 = 3. The fraction remaining after n half-lives is (1/2)n 1.25 g. Note that half-life is a statistical property and is constant for a given isotope.
每经过一个半衰期，放射性物质的数量减半。24 天内经过的半衰期个数为 24 / 8 = 3。经过 n 个半衰期后剩余的比例为 (1/2)n = (1/2)³ = 1/8。因此剩余八分之一的原核。若初始质量为 10 g，剩余质量为 10 g × 1/8 = 1.25 g。注意半衰期是一种统计性质，对给定同位素为常数。
11. General Skills: Graph Plotting and Data Interpretation | 综合技能：绘图与数据解读
, s = 32 m; t = 6 s, s = 72 m. Plot a graph of s against t² and use it to determine the acceleration.
某实验中收集到一个匀加速运动物体的数据：t = 0 s 时位移 s = 0 m；t = 2 s 时 s = 8 m；t = 4 s 时 s = 32 m；t = 6 s 时 s = 72 m。绘制 s 与 t² 的关系图，并利用图像求加速度。
, calculate t² values: 0² = 0, 2² = 4, 4² = 16, 6² = 36. The data points (t², s) are (0,0), (4,8), (16,32), (36,72). The gradient is (72 – 0) / (36 – = 4 m/s². A straight line through the origin confirms the motion is uniformly accelerated.
从静止开始的匀加速运动中，s = ut + ½ a t²，由于 u = 0，得 s = ½ a t²。这表明 s 与 t² 成线性关系，斜率为 ½ a。先计算 t² 值：0² = 0，2² = 4，4² = 16，6² = 36。数据点 (t², s) 为 (0,0)、(4,8)、(16,32)、(36,72)。斜率 = (72 – 0)/(36 – 0) = 72/36 = 2。因此 ½ a = 2，a = 4 m/s²。通过原点的直线证实运动为匀加速。
12. Exam Technique: Tackling Multi-step Problems | 应试技巧：攻克多步问题
Multi-step problems require students to link concepts from different topics. For example, a question may ask for the final speed of a block sliding down a rough slope, which combines forces, energy and work done against friction. The key is to identify the known quantities, write down relevant equations, and solve them sequentially.
多步计算题要求学生将不同主题的概念联系起来。例如，一个滑块沿粗糙斜面下滑求末速度的问题，会综合力、能量和克服摩擦做功的知识。关键在于识别已知量，写下相关公式，然后按顺序求解。
+ work done against friction, i.e. mgh = ½ m v² + f d, where d is the distance along the slope. Rearranging gives v = √(2(gh – ed accurately. Practising such multi-topic problems builds confidence for the actual exam.
始终先画受力分析图，标出所有力。对于高为 h、摩擦力为 f 的斜面，利用能量：初始重力势能 = 末动能 + 克服摩擦做的功，即 mgh = ½ m v² + f d，其中 d 为沿斜面的距离。整理得 v = √(2(gh – f d/m))。检查单位一致，并确保中间值代入准确。练习此类跨主题问题能增强实际考试中的信心。
