1. Speed, Distance and Time | 速度、距离和时间
The relationship between speed, distance and time is one of the simplest but most tested equations. Average speed is given by speed = distance ÷ time, written as v = s / t. In this equation, v is speed in metres per second (m/s), s is distance in metres (m) and t is time in seconds (s).
速度、距离和时间的关系是最简单的公式之一,也是常考点。平均速度由 速度 = 距离 ÷ 时间 给出,写作 v = s / t。公式中 v 代表速度(米/秒),s 代表距离(米),t 代表时间(秒)。
v = s ÷ t
Always convert units to SI before substituting numbers. Common traps include distances in kilometres and time in minutes or hours. Convert km to m by multiplying by 1000, and hours to seconds by multiplying by 3600. For example, 54 km/h = 54 × 1000 m ÷ 3600 s = 15 m/s.
代入数据前一定要统一为国际单位。常见的陷阱有距离以千米为单位、时间以分钟或小时为单位。将千米换算为米须乘以1000,小时换算为秒须乘以3600。例如,54 km/h = 54 × 1000 m ÷ 3600 s = 15 m/s。
You must be able to rearrange the equation for distance or time. A cyclist travels 250 m in 20 s; average speed = 250 ÷ 20 = 12.5 m/s. Conversely, if a car moves at 30 m/s for 12 s, distance = 30 × 12 = 360 m.
你必须会对方程进行变形,求距离或时间。自行车手在20秒内前进250米,平均速度 = 250 ÷ 20 = 12.5 m/s。反过来,若汽车以30 m/s行驶12秒,距离 = 30 × 12 = 360 m。
2. Acceleration | 加速度
Acceleration measures how quickly velocity changes. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down, often called deceleration). The formula is acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time taken, or a = (v − u) / t, where a is acceleration in m/s², v is final velocity (m/s), u is initial velocity (m/s) and t is time (s).
加速度衡量速度变化的快慢。加速度可以是正值(加速),也可以是负值(减速,常称为负加速度)。公式为 加速度 = 速度变化量 ÷ 所用时间,即 a = (v − u) / t,其中 a 为加速度 (m/s²),v 为末速度 (m/s),u 为初速度 (m/s),t 为时间 (s)。
a = (v − u) ÷ t
Many students forget that the change in velocity is always final minus initial. If a car goes from 10 m/s to 25 m/s in 5 s, a = (25 − 10) ÷ 5 = 3 m/s². If it slows from 20 m/s to rest in 4 s, a = (0 − 20) ÷ 4 = −5 m/s² (deceleration).
很多学生忘记速度变化量永远是末速度减初速度。若汽车在5秒内从10 m/s加速到25 m/s,a = (25 − 10) ÷ 5 = 3 m/s²。若在4秒内从20 m/s减速到静止,a = (0 − 20) ÷ 4 = −5 m/s²(负加速度或减速)。
When a question gives you acceleration and asks for final velocity, rearrange to v = u + a × t. State the formula, substitute, and check your sign. Include the correct unit (m/s²) for acceleration.
当题目告诉加速度并要求末速度时,变形为 v = u + a × t。写出公式,代入数值,注意符号。加速度的单位必须用 m/s²。
3. Newton’s Second Law | 牛顿第二定律
Newton’s second law links resultant force, mass and acceleration: resultant force = mass × acceleration, or F = m × a. Force is measured in newtons (N), mass in kilograms (kg) and acceleration in m/s². Always use resultant force — if multiple forces act, find the net force first.
牛顿第二定律将合力、质量和加速度联系起来:合力 = 质量 × 加速度,即 F = m × a。力的单位是牛顿 (N),质量单位是千克 (kg),加速度单位是 m/s²。务必使用合力——如果多个力作用,先求出净力。
F = m × a
Most GCSE scenarios involve horizontal forces only. For a resultant force of 2000 N acting on a 500 kg car, acceleration = F ÷ m = 2000 ÷ 500 = 4 m/s². If a football of mass 0.45 kg accelerates at 10 m/s², the kick force is 0.45 × 10 = 4.5 N.
GCSE 题大多只涉及水平方向的力。若一辆500 kg的汽车受到2000 N 的合力,加速度 = F ÷ m = 2000 ÷ 500 = 4 m/s²。若一个质量为0.45 kg的足球加速10 m/s²,踢力为 0.45 × 10 = 4.5 N。
Always convert masses given in grams to kilograms (÷ 1000). A 300 g book is 0.300 kg. Newton’s second law is also tested in the context of terminal velocity, where resultant force becomes zero and acceleration stops.
质量以克给出时必须转换为千克 (÷ 1000)。300 g 的书本质量为0.300 kg。牛顿第二定律也会结合终端速度考查,那时合力为零,加速度消失。
4. Weight and Mass | 重量与质量
Weight is the gravitational force on an object and is not the same as mass. The equation is weight = mass × gravitational field strength, or W = m × g. On Earth, g ≈ 9.8 N/kg (often rounded to 10 N/kg in some questions). Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and weight in newtons (N).
重量是作用在物体上的重力,与质量不同。公式为 重量 = 质量 × 重力场强度,即 W = m × g。在地球表面,g ≈ 9.8 N/kg(部分题目可能近似取10 N/kg)。质量单位为千克 (kg),重量单位为牛顿 (N)。
W = m × g
A person with mass 70 kg has a weight of 70 × 9.8 = 686 N (or 700 N if g = 10). The same mass on the Moon, where g ≈ 1.6 N/kg, would weigh about 112 N. Remember that weight changes with location, but mass stays constant.
一个70 kg 的人在地球上的重量为 70 × 9.8 = 686 N(若 g = 10 则为 700 N)。同样的质量在月球上,g ≈ 1.6 N/kg,重量约为112 N。记住重量随位置变化,但质量保持不变。
Always state g explicitly if you use 9.8 or 10, and make sure you convert mass to kg. A 500 g pineapple weighs 0.5 × 9.8 = 4.9 N.
使用 g 值时,务必说明用的是9.8还是10,并确认质量已换算成 kg。一个500 g 的菠萝重 0.5 × 9.8 = 4.9 N。
5. Work, Kinetic Energy and Gravitational Potential Energy | 做功、动能和重力势能
Work done transfers energy when a force moves through a distance. Work done = force × distance (W = F × d), where W is in joules (J), F in newtons (N) and d in metres (m) measured in the direction of the force. 1 joule = 1 newton-metre.
当做功时,力通过一段距离会转移能量。做功 = 力 × 距离 (W = F × d),其中 W 单位为焦耳 (J),F 为牛顿 (N),d 为沿力方向移动的距离 (m)。1 焦耳 = 1 牛顿·米。
W = F × d
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion: Eₖ = ½ × m × v². Mass m must be in kg and velocity v in m/s. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to v², so doubling the speed quadruples the energy.
动能是物体由于运动而具有的能量:Eₖ = ½ × m × v²。质量 m 必须以 kg 为单位,速度 v 以 m/s 为单位。动能与速度的平方成正比,速度增大到两倍时,动能增大到四倍。
Eₖ = ½ × m × v²
Gravitational potential energy stored in an object lifted in a gravitational field is: Eₚ = m × g × h. Here h is the vertical height gained in metres. On Earth, g = 9.8 N/kg.
物体在重力场中被抬高时储存的重力势能为:Eₚ = m × g × h。这里 h 是提升的垂直高度 (m)。在地球上,g = 9.8 N/kg。
Eₚ = m × g × h
In energy conversion problems, such as a falling object, Eₚ lost = Eₖ gained (assuming no air resistance). Calculate Eₚ first and then rearrange to find v. For example, a 2 kg rock dropped from 5 m loses Eₚ = 2 × 9.8 × 5 = 98 J; this equals Eₖ = ½ × 2 × v², giving v = √(98 / 1) ≈ 9.9 m/s.
在能量转化问题中,如下落物体,损失的 Eₚ = 获得的 Eₖ(假设无空气阻力)。先算出 Eₚ,再变形求 v。例如,一块 2 kg 的石头从 5 m 高落下,损失 Eₚ = 2 × 9.8 × 5 = 98 J;等于 Eₖ = ½ × 2 × v²,解得 v = √(98 / 1) ≈ 9.9 m/s。
6. Power | 功率
Power is the rate of doing work or transferring energy. Two equivalent equations: Power = work done ÷ time or Power = energy transferred ÷ time, P = W / t or P = E / t. The unit of power is the watt (W), where 1 W = 1 J/s.
功率是做功或转移能量的速率。两个等价公式:功率 = 做功 ÷ 时间 或 功率 = 转移能量 ÷ 时间,即 P = W / t 或 P = E / t。功率的单位是瓦特 (W),1 W = 1 J/s。
P = W ÷ t
A motor that lifts a weight doing 2400 J of work in 30 s has a power output of P = 2400 ÷ 30 = 80 W. When time is given in minutes, always convert to seconds first.
一台电动机用30秒提升重物做功2400 J,其功率输出为 P = 2400 ÷ 30 = 80 W。如果时间以分钟给出,务必先转换为秒。
For objects moving at constant speed, power can also be calculated using P = F × v, where F is the driving force and v is the velocity. This is useful when a car’s engine provides a constant force at a certain speed.
对于匀速运动的物体,功率也可用 P = F × v 计算,其中 F 为驱动力,v 为速度。当汽车发动机以恒定力在某一速度下行驶时,该公式非常实用。
7. Momentum (Higher Tier) | 动量(提高层)
Momentum depends on mass and velocity and is essential for analysing collisions and explosions. Momentum = mass × velocity, p = m × v. Momentum is measured in kg m/s. It is a vector quantity, so direction matters.
动量取决于质量和速度,对分析碰撞和爆炸至关重要。动量 = 质量 × 速度,p = m × v。动量单位为 kg m/s。它是矢量,方向很关键。
p = m × v
In a closed system, total momentum before an event equals total momentum after — the principle of conservation of momentum. For two objects colliding: m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂. Always assign positive and negative directions, e.g., to the right as positive.
在封闭系统中,事件前的总动量等于事件后的总动量——动量守恒定律。两物体碰撞:m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂。务必规定正方向,例如向右为正,向左为负。
Example: A 3 kg trolley moving right at 4 m/s collides with
