1. Projectile Motion | 抛体运动
In Paper 2, a common question required students to calculate the horizontal range of a projectile launched at an angle. The key is to resolve the initial velocity into horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal motion has constant velocity: x = u cosθ × t. The vertical motion has constant acceleration −g, so y = u sinθ × t − ½gt². To find the range, we first find the time of flight by setting the vertical displacement y = 0 (for a projectile that lands at the same height). This gives t = (2u sinθ)/g. Substituting into the horizontal equation yields range R = (u² sin2θ)/g. Examiners often test whether students can derive this or apply it directly.
在卷2中，一道常见题目要求学生计算以一定角度发射的抛体的水平射程。关键是将初速度分解为水平和垂直分量。水平方向是匀速运动：x = u cosθ × t。垂直方向有恒定加速度−g，所以 y = u sinθ × t − ½gt²。为求射程，我们首先令垂直位移y = 0（对于落回到同一高度的抛体）求出飞行时间。这给出 t = (2u sinθ)/g。代入水平方程得到射程 R = (u² sin2θ)/g。考官经常测试学生是否能推导这个公式或直接应用它。
2. Momentum and Impulse | 动量与冲量
One question examined the conservation of linear momentum in a collision between two trolleys. The principle states that total momentum before impact equals total momentum after impact, provided no external resultant force acts: m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂. If the trolleys stick together (perfectly inelastic collision), v₁ = v₂ = v, and the equation simplifies to m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v. Students were also asked to calculate the impulse, which is the change in momentum: impulse = FΔt = Δp. Understanding the vector nature of momentum is crucial – direction must be assigned a positive or negative sign.
有一道题考查了两辆小车碰撞过程中线性动量的守恒。该原理指出，如果没有外部合力作用，碰撞前的总动量等于碰撞后的总动量：m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂。如果小车粘在一起（完全非弹性碰撞），v₁ = v₂ = v，方程简化为 m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v。学生还要求计算冲量，即动量的变化：冲量 = FΔt = Δp。理解动量的矢量性至关重要——必须给方向赋予正负号。
3. Work-Energy Principle | 功能原理
A typical problem involved a block sliding down a rough inclined plane. The work-energy principle equates the work done by all forces to the change in kinetic energy: Wnet = ΔEk. For a block starting from rest, the gravitational potential energy lost (mgh) is converted into kinetic energy and work done against friction: mgh = ½mv² + f × d, where f is the frictional force and d is the distance along the slope. Paper 2 often asks for the work done against friction or the final speed. Some students mistakenly use equations of motion for non-uniform acceleration, but the energy approach bypasses the need for constant acceleration.
一道典型题目涉及物块沿粗糙斜面下滑。功能原理将所有力做的功等于动能的变化：Wnet = ΔEk。对于从静止开始的物块，损失的引力势能 (mgh) 转化为动能和克服摩擦力做的功：mgh = ½mv² + f × d，其中f是摩擦力，d是沿斜面的距离。卷2经常求克服摩擦力做的功或末速度。有些学生错误地对非匀变速运动使用运动学方程，而能量方法不需要恒定加速度。
4. Young Modulus and Stress-Strain | 杨氏模量与应力-应变
June 2018 Paper 2 tested the determination of Young modulus for a metal wire. The experiment involves measuring the extension ΔL of a wire of original length L and cross-sectional area A under a tensile force F. Stress = F/A, strain = ΔL/L. The Young modulus E = stress/strain = (FL)/(A ΔL). A common graph question gives force against extension, and students must use the linear portion to find the gradient and calculate E. The concept of elastic limit and plastic deformation also appeared: note that Hooke’s law (F = kΔL) is only valid up to the limit of proportionality, and Young modulus applies only within this elastic region.
2018年6月卷2考查了金属丝杨氏模量的测定。实验涉及测量原长为L、横截面积为A的金属丝在拉力F下的伸长量ΔL。应力 = F/A，应变 = ΔL/L。杨氏模量 E = 应力/应变 = (FL)/(A ΔL)。常见的图形题给出力与伸长量的关系，学生必须利用线性部分求出梯度并计算E。弹性极限和塑性变形的概念也出现了：注意胡克定律（F = kΔL）仅在比例极限内有效，且杨氏模量只适用于弹性区域。
5. Stationary Waves on Strings | 弦上的驻波
One question described a string fixed at both ends vibrating in its second harmonic. A stationary wave is formed by the superposition of two progressive waves of equal frequency and amplitude travelling in opposite directions. Nodes (points of zero displacement) and antinodes (points of maximum displacement) are clearly seen. For a string of length L fixed at both ends, the second harmonic has a wavelength λ = L. The frequency is given by f = v/λ = v/L, where v is the wave speed on the string, determined by tension T and mass per unit length μ: v = √(T/μ). Students were required to sketch the waveform and label nodes/antinodes, and explain how to adjust tension to achieve a certain harmonic.
有一道题描述了一根两端固定的弦以二次谐波振动。驻波是由两列频率相同、振幅相等、传播方向相反的的行波叠加形成的。可以清晰地看到波节（位移为零的点）和波腹（位移最大的点）。对于一根长为L两端固定的弦，二次谐波的波长 λ = L。频率由 f = v/λ = v/L 给出，其中v是弦上的波速，由张力T和单位长度质量μ决定：v = √(T/μ)。要求学生画出波形并标出波节/波腹，并解释如何调节张力以达到某一谐波。
6. Resistivity and Temperature Dependence | 电阻率与温度依赖
A practical question involved measuring the resistivity of a wire. Resistivity ρ is defined as ρ = RA/L, where R is resistance, A is cross-sectional area, and L is length. The experimental method uses a voltmeter and ammeter to find R, a micrometer for diameter, and a metre rule for length. A graph of R versus L yields a straight line with gradient = ρ/A, from which ρ can be extracted. The paper also asked why resistance changes with temperature: for a metal, increased temperature causes increased lattice ion vibrations, leading to more frequent collisions of conduction electrons, thus higher resistivity. This contrasts with thermistors, where resistance drops.
有一个实验题涉及测量金属丝的电阻率。电阻率ρ定义为 ρ = RA/L，其中R为电阻，A为横截面积，L为长度。实验方法使用伏特计和安培计求R，用千分尺测直径，用米尺测长度。R对L的图形产生一条直线，斜率 = ρ/A，由此可求出ρ。试卷还问到电阻为何随温度变化：对于金属，温度升高导致晶格离子振动加剧，使传导电子的碰撞更频繁，因此电阻率升高。这与热敏电阻相反，热敏电阻的电阻下降。
7. Photoelectric Effect | 光电效应
The photoelectric effect question required explanation of key observations that support a particle model of light. The kinetic energy of emitted electrons is given by Ekmax = hf − Φ, where hf is the photon energy and Φ is the work function. Important points tested: (1) There is a threshold frequency f₀ = Φ/h below which no electrons are emitted, regardless of intensity. (2) Ekmax depends only on frequency, not intensity. (3) Rate of electron emission is proportional to intensity. The stopping potential Vs links to Ekmax by eVs = Ekmax. Students had to interpret a graph of Ekmax vs. f, find the Planck constant from the gradient, and the work function from the intercept.
光电效应题目要求解释支持光的粒子模型的关键观察结果。发射电子的动能由 Ekmax = hf − Φ 给出，其中hf是光子能量，Φ是逸出功。考查的要点包括：(1) 存在一个阈频率 f₀ = Φ/h，低于此频率无论如何增强光强都不会有电子发射。(2) Ekmax 只与频率有关，与光强无关。(3) 电子发射率与光强成正比。遏止电压 Vs 通过 eVs = Ekmax 与最大动能关联。学生需要解读 Ekmax 对 f 的图形，由斜率求普朗克常数，由截距求逸出功。
8. Conservation Laws in Particle Interactions | 粒子相互作用中的守恒定律
An analysis question presented a Feynman diagram of beta-minus decay: n → p + e⁻ + ν̅ₑ. Students needed to apply conservation laws: charge (0 = +1 −1 + 0), lepton number (0 = 0 + 1 − 1), and baryon number (1 = 1 + 0 + 0). Energy and momentum must also be conserved. The presence of the antineutrino explains the continuous spectrum of electron energies. The weak interaction, mediated by a W⁻ boson, is responsible. The paper also asked to classify particles (e.g., proton = baryon, electron = lepton) and to identify the exchange particle from the diagram.
有一道分析题展示了β⁻衰变的费曼图：n → p + e⁻ + ν̅ₑ。学生需要应用守恒定律：电荷 (0 = +1 −1 + 0)，轻子数 (0 = 0 + 1 − 1)，重子数 (1 = 1 + 0 + 0)。能量和动量也必须守恒。反中微子的存在解释了电子能量的连续谱。弱相互作用由W⁻玻色子传递。试卷还要求对粒子进行分类（例如质子 = 重子，电子 = 轻子）并从图中辨认交换粒子。
9. Diffraction and Interference of Light | 光的衍射与干涉
The double-slit interference formula λ = ax/D appeared in a calculation question, where a is slit separation, x is fringe spacing, and D is distance to screen. Students needed to describe the pattern (equally spaced bright and dark fringes) and explain how fringe spacing changes if slit separation increases (x decreases). The role of diffraction was also examined – without diffraction at each slit, there would be no overlap of waves and no interference. A single-slit question might ask to sketch intensity distribution or calculate the width of the central maximum from λ and slit width w using sinθ ≈ λ/w.
双缝干涉公式 λ = ax/D 出现在一道计算题中，其中a是缝间距，x是条纹间距，D是到屏幕的距离。学生需要描述图样（等间距的明暗条纹）并解释如果缝间距增大，条纹间距如何变化（x减小）。衍射的作用也在考查之列——没有每个缝的衍射，就不会有波的叠加，也就没有干涉。单缝问题可能会要求画出强度分布或根据λ和缝宽w，用 sinθ ≈ λ/w 计算中央亮纹的宽度。
10. Current and Potential Dividers | 电流与分压电路
A circuit analysis question featured a potential divider with a fixed resistor and a thermistor. The output voltage Vout = Vin × R₂/(R₁ + R₂), where R₂ could be the thermistor. As temperature rises, the thermistor’s resistance drops, causing Vout across R₂ to decrease (if R₂ is the thermistor) or increase (if R₁ is the thermistor). Students must be able to rearrange the formula and predict the effect. Another question might involve a variable resistor as a potentiometer to control a lamp’s brightness, testing understanding of series circuits and power dissipation P = I²R = V²/R.
一道电路分析题以一个固定电阻和热敏电阻构成的分压器为特色。输出电压 Vout = Vin × R₂/(R₁ + R₂)，其中R₂可以是热敏电阻。当温度升高，热敏电阻阻值下降，导致R₂两端的Vout减小（如果R₂是热敏电阻）或增大（如果R₁是热敏电阻）。学生必须能够重组公式并预测效果。另一题可能涉及用可变电阻作为电位器来控制灯泡亮度，测试对串联电路和功率耗散 P = I²R = V²/R 的理解。
