1. How to Use This Handbook: Units, Notation and Prefixes | 使用本手册:单位、记法与词头
Every equation in this handbook is written with the quantity, the symbol and the SI unit that must be substituted. Read the unit before you read the number. If a question gives a value in grams, centimetres or minutes, the first mark in the method is usually earned simply by converting it correctly.
本手册中的每一个方程都标明了物理量、符号以及代入时必须使用的国际单位。先看单位,再看数字。如果题目给出的是克、厘米或分钟,那么方法分中的第一分往往就是靠正确换算拿到的。
Use the table below to move between multiples and submultiples of SI units. Prefixes change the size of the unit only; they never change the equation itself.
下表用于在国际单位的不同倍数与分数单位之间换算。词头只改变单位的大小,绝不改变方程本身。
| Prefix | Symbol | Factor | Example |
| pico | p | × 10⁻¹² | 1 pm = 1 × 10⁻¹² m |
| nano | n | × 10⁻⁹ | 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m |
| micro | μ | × 10⁻⁶ | 1 μm = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m |
| milli | m | × 10⁻³ | 1 mm = 0.001 m |
| kilo | k | × 10³ | 1 km = 1000 m |
| mega | M | × 10⁶ | 1 MW = 1 × 10⁶ W |
| giga | G | × 10⁹ | 1 GHz = 1 × 10⁹ Hz |
Very large and very small values should be written in standard form, a × 10ⁿ where 1 ≤ a < 10. Give your final answer to the same number of significant figures as the least precise value in the question, and always state the unit.
很大或很小的数值应写成标准形式 a × 10ⁿ,其中 1 ≤ a < 10。最终答案的有效数字位数应与题目中精确度最低的数值一致,并且一定要写出单位。
2. Motion: Speed, Distance, Time and Acceleration | 运动:速率、距离、时间与加速度
Understanding how objects move starts with three fundamental equations: average speed, acceleration, and the link between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and displacement. In uniformly accelerated motion the initial velocity is normally symbolised by u and the final velocity by v; the displacement is s and the acceleration is a.
理解物体如何运动,从三个基本方程开始:平均速率、加速度,以及初速度、末速度、加速度与位移之间的关系。在匀加速运动中,初速度通常用 u 表示,末速度用 v 表示;位移用 s,加速度用 a。
v = d / t
Average speed = distance / time. This version is used when speed is not constant: v is in m/s, d is in m and t is in s. The gradient of a distance-time graph gives speed, and the gradient of a velocity-time graph gives acceleration.
平均速率 = 距离 / 时间。当速率不恒定时使用此式:v 的单位是 m/s,d 的单位是 m,t 的单位是 s。距离—时间图的斜率给出速率,速度—时间图的斜率给出加速度。
a = Δv / t = (v − u) / t
Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken. A negative value simply means deceleration, that is, acceleration in the opposite direction to the motion. The unit is m/s² because a velocity in m/s is divided by a time in s.
加速度 = 速度变化量 / 所用时间。负值只表示减速,即加速度方向与运动方向相反。单位是 m/s²,因为是用 m/s 的速度除以 s 的时间。
The three standard equations of uniformly accelerated motion are:
匀加速运动的三个标准方程是:
v = u + at
s = ut + ½at²
v² = u² + 2as
The third equation, v² = u² + 2as, is the one that links initial and final velocity, acceleration and displacement without involving time. It is the correct choice whenever a question mentions distance travelled but gives no time.
第三个方程 v² = u² + 2as 正是把初速度、末速度、加速度与位移联系起来、而不含时间的公式。当题目给出运动距离却没有给出时间时,就应该选择它。
- Speed is a scalar; velocity is a vector and includes direction. | 速率是标量,速度是矢量,包含方向。
- Distance is the total path length; displacement is the straight-line distance in a stated direction. | 路程是轨迹总长度,位移是沿某一方向的直线距离。
- For a falling object, use g ≈ 9.8 m/s² (often taken as 10 m/s² in OCR questions). | 对于自由落体,取 g ≈ 9.8 m/s²(OCR 题目中常取 10 m/s²)。
3. Forces, Weight, Momentum and Moments | 力、重力、动量与力矩
Newton's second law states that the resultant force on an object equals its mass multiplied by its acceleration. This single relationship explains why a heavier trolley accelerates more slowly under the same push, and why a larger force produces a larger acceleration.
牛顿第二定律指出,物体所受的合力等于质量乘以加速度。这一关系解释了为什么同一推力下越重的小车加速越慢,以及为什么力越大加速度越大。
F = ma
Resultant force = mass × acceleration. Force is measured in newtons (N), mass in kilograms (kg) and acceleration in m/s². Always work out the resultant force first by adding forces in the same direction and subtracting those in opposite directions.
合力 = 质量 × 加速度。力的单位是牛顿(N),质量单位是千克(kg),加速度单位是 m/s²。要先把同方向上的力相加、反方向上的力相减,求出合力再代入。
W = mg
Weight = mass × gravitational field strength. Weight is a force in newtons and changes with location, whereas mass in kilograms does not. On Earth, g ≈ 9.8 N/kg.
重力 = 质量 × 重力场强度。重力是以牛顿为单位的力,会随位置改变;而千克为单位的质量不会改变。在地球上 g ≈ 9.8 N/kg。
For collisions, momentum is conserved in a closed system, and the force experienced depends on how quickly the momentum changes.
在碰撞中,封闭系统内动量守恒,而物体所受的力取决于动量改变的快慢。
p = mv
F = Δp / Δt
Momentum is measured in kg m/s or N s. The second equation explains why crumple zones and airbags reduce injury: the change in momentum is spread over a longer time, so the force is smaller.
动量的单位是 kg m/s 或 N s。第二个方程解释了为什么溃缩区和安全气囊能减轻伤害:动量变化被拉长到更长时间内完成,因此作用力更小。
Moment = F × d
A moment is measured in N m and d is the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force. For a balanced beam, the sum of clockwise moments equals the sum of anticlockwise moments.
力矩的单位是 N m,其中 d 是从支点到力的作用线的垂直距离。对于平衡的横梁,顺时针力矩之和等于逆时针力矩之和。
4. Energy, Work, Power and Efficiency | 能量、功、功率与效率
Energy is conserved: it can be transferred between stores but never created or destroyed. In an examination, the safest way to start a calculation is to name the transfer, for example from chemical to thermal, then choose the matching equation.
能量守恒:能量可以在不同能量库之间转移,但既不能创造也不能消灭。考试中最稳妥的做法是先说出能量转移形式,例如从化学能到热能,然后选择对应的方程。
W = Fs
Work done = force × distance moved in the direction of the force. Work done is measured in joules (J) because a force in newtons is multiplied by a distance in metres. One joule is one newton metre.
功 = 力 × 沿力的方向移动的距离。功的单位是焦耳(J),因为牛顿的力乘以米的距离。1 焦耳等于 1 牛顿米。
Eₖ = ½mv²
Eₚ = mgh
Kinetic energy depends on the square of the speed, so doubling the speed quadruples the kinetic energy. Gravitational potential energy uses the height change h measured in metres, not the total height of the object above the ground.
动能与速率的平方成正比,因此速率加倍,动能变为四倍。重力势能中的高度变化 h 以米为单位,指的是高度变化量,而不是物体离地面的总高度。
P = E / t = W / t
Power = energy transferred / time taken J/s. Power measures how quickly energy is transferred, not how much energy is transferred.
功率 = 转移的能量 / 所用时间,单位是瓦特(W),1 W = 1 J/s。功率衡量的是能量转移的快慢,而不是转移了多少能量。
Efficiency = useful output energy / total input energy × 100%
Efficiency has no unit and is always less than 100% in a real device. The energy that is not usefully transferred is dissipated, usually by heating the surroundings.
效率没有单位,真实装置的效率总是小于 100%。未被有效利用的能量被耗散,通常是加热了周围环境。
For thermal calculations, use the specific heat capacity equation: E = mcΔθ, where m is mass in kg, c is specific heat capacity in J/kg °C and Δθ is the temperature change in °C.
热学计算使用比热容方程:E = mcΔθ,其中 m 是质量
