1. Momentum and Impulse Basics | 动量与冲量基础
A fundamental question type gives two masses moving on a smooth horizontal plane, with impulses or collisions involved. You must define a positive direction, write the impulse-momentum equation for each particle, and relate the impulse exerted by one on the other using Newton’s third law. The impulse is the change in momentum: I = mv – mu, where m is mass, u is initial velocity, and v is final velocity along the direction of the impulse.
基础题型给出两个在光滑水平面上运动的物体，涉及冲量或碰撞。你需要规定正方向，对每个质点写出冲量-动量方程，并利用牛顿第三定律关联两物体间的冲量。冲量等于动量的变化：I = mv – mu，其中 m 为质量，u 为初速度，v 为在冲量方向上的末速度。
A typical problem might state: ‘A particle of mass 2 kg moving at 5 m s⁻¹ receives an impulse of 10 N s in the direction of motion. Find its final speed.’ Using I = mv – mu gives 10 = 2(v – 5) → v = 10 m s⁻¹. Always draw a clear before-and-after diagram with velocities and impulse vectors labelled.
一道典型题可能这样给出：“一个质量为 2 kg 的质点以 5 m s⁻¹ 运动，受到一个沿运动方向的 10 N s 冲量。求其末速度。”利用 I = mv – mu 得 10 = 2(v – 5) → v = 10 m s⁻¹。务必画出清晰的碰撞前后示意图，标出速度与冲量矢量。
2. Coefficient of Restitution in Direct Collisions | 正面碰撞中的恢复系数
The law of restitution states that for a direct collision between two smooth spheres moving along the line of centres, the relative speed after collision equals e times the relative speed before collision: v₂ – v₁ = e(u₁ – u₂), where e is the coefficient of restitution (0 ≤ e ≤ 1). This is used together with conservation of momentum to solve for the unknown final velocities.
恢复定律指出，两个光滑球体沿连心线做正面碰撞时，碰撞后的相对速率等于碰撞前相对速率乘以恢复系数 e：v₂ – v₁ = e(u₁ – u₂)，其中 0 ≤ e ≤ 1。该式与动量守恒联立，即可解出未知的末速度。
For two particles of masses m₁ and m₂ with initial speeds u₁, u₂, momentum conservation gives m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂. The restitution equation uses speeds, so always check directions: if u₂ is in the opposite direction, it is negative. A common mistake is forgetting to apply the sign convention consistently.
对质量为 m₁ 和 m₂ 的两质点，初速度 u₁, u₂，动量守恒给出 m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂。恢复方程使用速率，务必检验方向：若 u₂ 与正方向相反，则取负值。常见错误是未能始终如一地应用正负号规定。
3. Oblique Collisions and Vector Decomposition | 斜碰与矢量分解
In an oblique impact, where the line of centres is not parallel to the direction of motion, you must resolve velocities into components along the line of centres and perpendicular to it. The component perpendicular to the line of centres remains unchanged for smooth spheres, while the component along the line of centres follows the restitution law and momentum conservation along that direction only.
在斜碰中，连心线与运动方向不平行时，必须将速度分解为沿连心线方向和垂直于连心线方向的分量。对光滑球体，垂直连心线的速度分量保持不变，而沿连心线方向的速度分量遵循该方向的恢复定律和动量守恒。
The procedure is: (i) identify the line of centres; (ii) resolve initial velocities into parallel and perpendicular components using sin and cos; (iii) apply conservation of momentum along the line of centres; (iv) apply Newton’s law of restitution along the line of centres; (v) the perpendicular components are unaltered: v₁_perp = u₁_perp. Finally, recombine to find final speeds and directions.
解题步骤如下：(i) 确定连心线；(ii) 用正弦和余弦将初速度分解为平行和垂直分量；(iii) 沿连心线应用动量守恒；(iv) 沿连心线应用牛顿恢复定律；(v) 垂直分量保持不变：v₁_⊥ = u₁_⊥。最后，合成求末速度大小和方向。
4. Work, Energy and Power Principles | 功、能与功率原理
Questions often feature particles moving against a constant resistance while a driving force does work. The work done by a force F moving a particle through a distance s in its direction is Fs. The work–energy principle states that the total change in kinetic energy equals the net work done by external forces: ½mv² – ½mu² = Σ work done by all forces.
题目常涉及质点在恒定阻力下运动，同时有驱动力做功。力 F 推动质点沿其方向移动距离 s 所做的功为 Fs。功能原理指出，动能的总变化等于外力所做的净功：½mv² – ½mu² = 所有力做功之和。
Power is the rate of doing work. At constant speed, the driving force F balances the resistance R, and the power produced is P = Fv. When a vehicle’s engine is working at a constant power, the tractive force varies with speed: F = P/v, and Newton’s second law gives the acceleration.
功率是做功的速率。匀速行驶时，驱动力 F 与阻力 R 平衡，此时输出功率 P = Fv。当发动机以恒定功率工作时，牵引力随速度变化：F = P/v，再由牛顿第二定律求加速度。
5. Conservation of Mechanical Energy | 机械能守恒
When only gravity and elastic forces do work (no friction, no air resistance), the total mechanical energy is conserved. The sum of kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and elastic potential energy remains constant: ½mv² + mgh + ½kx² = constant. This principle offers an elegant alternative to equations of motion in many curved-path problems.
只有重力和弹力做功时（无摩擦、无空气阻力），系统的总机械能守恒。动能、重力势能与弹性势能之和保持不变：½mv² + mgh + ½kx² = 常量。在许多曲线运动问题中，这一原理提供了比运动方程更简洁的解法。
A typical scenario: a particle slides down a smooth curved track and is launched into the air. Use energy conservation to find the speed at the point of departure, then treat the subsequent motion as projectile motion. Remember to define a clear zero level for potential energy.
典型情景：质点沿光滑曲面滑下并抛离轨道。利用能量守恒求出脱离点速度，然后将后续运动作为抛体运动处理。注意要清楚定义势能的零势面。
6. Circular Motion: Horizontal and Vertical Circles | 圆周运动：水平面与竖直面
In horizontal circular motion (e.g., a particle on a smooth table attached to a fixed point by a string), the centripetal force is provided entirely by the tension in the string. The equations are: T = mω²r = mv²/r, where ω is the angular speed, v the linear speed, and r the radius. For a conical pendulum, resolve vertically and radially.
在水平面圆周运动中（如系在桌上的质点用绳连至固定点），向心力完全由绳的张力提供。方程为：T = mω²r = mv²/r，其中 ω 为角速度，v 为线速度，r 为半径。对锥摆，则需在竖直和径向进行分解。
Vertical circular motion introduces varying tension and requires velocity conditions at the top and bottom. For a particle on a string, the tension must remain non-negative; at the top, the minimum tension condition T ≥ 0 gives v²_top ≥ gr when the particle is just completing the circle. For a bead on a wire or a rod, the reaction can provide an outward force, so conditions differ. Energy conservation links velocities at different points.
竖直面圆周运动则涉及变化的张力和顶部/底部的速度条件。对于系在绳上的质点，绳的张力必须保持在非负值；在最高点，最小张力条件 T ≥ 0 给出刚好完成完整圆周的最小速度满足 v²_min = gr。若是细管中的小珠或轻杆，约束力可以向外，条件有所不同。各点速度可由能量守恒联系起来。
7. Centres of Mass of Rigid Bodies | 刚体的质心
Locating the centre of mass of a composite body is a standard FM1 skill. For a discrete system of particles, the position vector is R = (Σ m_i r_i) / Σ m_i. For uniform laminae, use known results (midpoint of a rod, centroid of a triangle, sector of a circle) and combine them via tabular calculation.
求组合体的质心是 FM1 的一项基本功。对于质点系，位置矢量为 R = (Σ m_i r_i) / Σ m_i。对均匀薄片，可借助已知结果（杆的中点、三角形的形心、扇形质心）并通过列表计算进行组合。
For a shape composed of rectangles and triangles, set up a coordinate system, find the area and centroid of each part, then use: x̄ = Σ(A x̃) / ΣA, ȳ = Σ(A ȳ) / ΣA. If a piece is removed (negative mass), treat its area as negative. Always sketch the shape and indicate your reference axes clearly.
对由矩形和三角形组成的形状，建立坐标系，求出每部分的面积及其形心坐标，再用：x̄ = Σ(A x̃) / ΣA，ȳ = Σ(A ȳ) / ΣA。若有挖去的部分（负质量），其面积以负值处理。务必画出图形并清晰标出参考轴。
8. Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies in 2D | 二维刚体平衡
A rigid body in static equilibrium must satisfy both translational and rotational conditions. The resultant force in any direction is zero, and the resultant moment about any point is zero. Drawing a clear free-body diagram showing all forces — weight, normal reactions, tensions, friction — is the essential first step.
处于静力平衡的刚体须同时满足平动和转动条件：任意方向上的合力为零，对任意点的合力矩为零。绘制清晰的受力图，标出所有重力、法向反力、张力和摩擦力，是关键的起始步骤。
Moment calculations are central. Choose a point that eliminates as many unknown forces as possible (often where two unknown forces intersect). The moment of a force F about a point is Fd, where d is the perpendicular distance. When a rod rests on two supports or against a wall, apply resolution vertically, horizontally, and take moments about a convenient point. A typical ladder problem involves friction at the ground and a normal reaction at the wall.
力矩计算是核心。选点时应尽可能消去未知力（常选在两未知力延长线的交点）。力 F 对某点的力矩为 Fd，其中 d 为垂直距离。杆搁置在两个支点或靠墙时，需沿竖直、水平方向分解，并对合适点取矩。典型梯子问题涉及地面摩擦和墙壁法向反力。
9. Elastic Strings and Springs: Hooke’s Law | 弹性弦与弹簧：胡克定律
FM1 introduces elastic potential energy and the dynamics of springs. Hooke’s law in its FM1 form is T = (λ x) / l, where λ is the modulus of elasticity, l is the natural length, and x is the extension or compression. The elastic potential energy (EPE) stored is ½ (λ / l) x² = ½ T x.
FM1 引入了弹性势能和弹簧的动力学。该模块中的胡克定律形式为 T = (λ x) / l，其中 λ 是弹性模量，l 为原长，x 为伸长量或压缩量。贮存的弹性势能 (EPE) 为 ½ (λ / l) x² = ½ T x。
Common setups include a particle attached to two elastic strings on a smooth table, or a mass bouncing on a vertical spring. Energy conservation incorporating EPE becomes necessary. When combining springs in series or parallel, the overall modulus can be derived by considering equal tensions or equal extensions.
常见模型包括质点连接在光滑桌面上的两根弹性绳之间，或竖直弹簧上的重振动。此时需要运用包含弹性势能的能量守恒。当弹簧串联或并联时，可通过等张力或等伸长量条件推导出整体的等效模量。
10. Mixed Problem-solving Strategies | 综合题型解题策略
Many exam questions combine two or more principles. For instance, a collision on a slope with subsequent motion under gravity, or a pendulum bob striking a particle that then moves on a rough surface. The key is to break the problem into distinct phases and apply the appropriate isolated model to each phase: momentum for impacts, energy for smooth motion, Newton’s second law for forces and acceleration.
许多考题会综合两到三个原理。例如，斜坡上的碰撞随后在重力作用下运动，或摆锤撞击一个质点后再在粗糙表面上运动。解题关键在于将问题划分为不同阶段，并对每个阶段单独应用合适的模型：碰撞用动量，光滑过程用能量，受力与加速度用牛顿第二定律。
Read the whole question before starting. Identify what is given and what is required. Sketch a sequence of diagrams marking speeds, distances, angles, and points of change. Use standard equations systematically: momentum for an impact, energy between two points, Newton’s second law for variable forces, and circular motion conditions at critical points. Dimension checks and sign checks will catch most algebraic errors.
答题前先通读全题，明确已知和所求。画出一系列简图标出速度、距离、角度以及状态转折点。系统化地运用标准方程：碰撞用动量，两点间用能量，变力用牛顿第二定律，临界点用圆周运动条件。量纲检验和正负号检查能捕捉大多数代数错误。
