1. Kinematics and the SUVAT Equations | 运动学与匀加速运动方程

In AS Physics, displacement (s) is a vector measuring distance in a given direction, while speed and velocity differ by direction. Acceleration (a) is the rate of change of velocity. For uniform acceleration, five key SUVAT equations link u, v, a, s and t.

在 AS 物理中，位移（s）是包含方向的矢量，而速率与速度的区别在于方向。加速度（a）是速度的变化率。对于匀加速运动，五个 SUVAT 方程联系了初速度 u、末速度 v、加速度 a、位移 s 和时间 t。

v = u + at

s = ut + ½at²

v² = u² + 2as

s = ½(u + v)t

s = vt − ½at²

Always identify the positive direction before plugging values into these equations. Quantities opposite to that direction take negative signs. Students often confuse velocity-time graphs: the slope gives acceleration, and the area under the graph equals displacement.

代入数值前务必先规定正方向，与正方向相反的物理量取负号。学生常混淆速度–时间图像：其斜率表示加速度，图线下面积等于位移。

2. Newton’s Laws and Forces | 牛顿运动定律与力

Newton’s First Law states an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a resultant force. The Second Law quantifies this: F = ma, where F is the net force in newtons, m the mass in kg and a the acceleration in m s⁻².

牛顿第一定律指出，物体在不受合外力作用时将保持静止或匀速直线运动。第二定律给出定量关系：F = ma，其中 F 是合外力（牛顿），m 为质量（千克），a 为加速度（米每二次方秒）。

F = ma

Newton’s Third Law action–reaction pairs act on different bodies, are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Free-body diagrams help resolve forces into components, especially when dealing with inclined planes. Weight = mg always acts vertically downwards, tension and normal reaction adjust accordingly.

牛顿第三定律的作用力与反作用力作用在不同物体上，大小相等、方向相反。受力分析图有助于分解力，尤其在处理斜面问题时。重力 mg 总是竖直向下，绳的张力和支持力随之调整。

3. Momentum and Impulse | 动量与冲量

Linear momentum p = mv is a vector product of mass and velocity. Impulse is defined as the change in momentum, also equal to the product of average force and contact time: Δp = F Δt. The area under a force–time graph represents impulse.

线动量 p = mv 是质量与速度的矢量积。冲量定义为动量的变化，也等于平均作用力与接触时间的乘积：Δp = F Δt。力–时间图像下的面积即冲量。

p = mv

Δp = F Δt

In any collision or explosion, total momentum is conserved provided no external resultant force acts. This principle allows us to analyse recoil, car collisions and particle interactions. Remember to assign positive and negative directions when calculating total momentum before and after.

只要无合外力作用，任何碰撞或爆炸过程中总动量守恒。利用该原理可分析反冲、汽车碰撞和粒子间相互作用。计算碰撞前后总动量时务必规定正方向。

4. Work, Energy and Power | 功、能量与功率

Work done W = Fs cosθ transfers energy. If the force is parallel to displacement, W = Fs. Kinetic energy Eₖ = ½mv² and gravitational potential energy Eₚ = mgΔh are the most common mechanical energy stores. The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

功 W = Fs cosθ 转移能量。若力与位移平行，则 W = Fs。动能 Eₖ = ½mv²、重力势能 Eₚ = mgΔh 是最常见的机械能形式。能量守恒定律指出能量既不会凭空产生也不会凭空消失，只会从一种形式转化为另一种。

Eₖ = ½mv²

Eₚ = mgΔh

Power P = W/t or P = Fv measures the rate of energy transfer. Efficiency is the ratio of useful output power to total input power, often expressed as a percentage. In many exam questions, you must account for energy dissipated as heat due to friction.

功率 P = W/t 或 P = Fv 衡量能量转移的快慢。效率是有用输出功率与总输入功率之比，常用百分数表示。很多考题中，必须考虑因摩擦以热形式耗散的能量。

5. Stress, Strain and the Young Modulus | 应力、应变与杨氏模量

Stress σ = F/A is the force applied per unit cross-sectional area, measured in pascals. Strain ε = ΔL/L₀ is the extension per unit original length, a dimensionless ratio. The Young modulus E = σ/ε describes a material’s stiffness within the elastic limit.

应力 σ = F/A 是单位横截面积上所受的力，单位为帕斯卡。应变 ε = ΔL/L₀ 是单位原长内的伸长量，无量纲。杨氏模量 E = σ/ε 描述了材料在弹性限度内的刚度。

σ = F/A

ε = ΔL/L₀

E = σ/ε

The stress–strain graph reveals yield point, ultimate tensile strength and breaking point for ductile materials. Hooke’s law (F = kΔx) applies only to the linear region. The gradient of a force–extension graph gives the spring constant k; the area under it represents stored elastic potential energy.

应力–应变曲线可显示韧性材料的屈服点、抗拉强度和断裂点。胡克定律（F = kΔx）仅适用于线性区域。力–伸长图像斜率给出劲度系数 k，图线下面积等于储存的弹性势能。

6. Waves: Properties and the Wave Equation | 波的性质与波动方程

A wave transfers energy without net movement of matter. Transverse waves (e.g. light, ripples) oscillate perpendicular to energy propagation; longitudinal waves (e.g. sound) oscillate parallel. Key quantities are amplitude A, frequency f, wavelength λ and speed v.

波传递能量而不伴随物质的净迁移。横波（如光、水波）的振动方向垂直于传播方向；纵波（如声波）的振动方向与传播方向平行。关键物理量有振幅 A、频率 f、波长 λ 和波速 v。

v = f λ

The wave equation v = fλ links these three. Frequency is the reciprocal of period T. Phase difference in degrees or radians describes how two points on a wave are aligned. In practical contexts, oscilloscopes and ripple tanks are used to measure these quantities.

波动方程 v = fλ 联系三者。频率是周期 T 的倒数。相位差（以度或弧度表示）描述波上两点对齐的程度。实际应用中常用示波器与水波槽测量这些量。

7. Refraction and Snell’s Law | 折射与斯涅尔定律

Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed at a boundary between two media. The refractive index n = c/v links the speed of light in vacuum c to its speed v in a medium. Snell’s law gives n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂, or often n = sin i / sin r when light enters from air.

当波在两种介质的边界处改变速度时发生折射。折射率 n = c/v 将光在真空中的速度 c 与介质中的速度 v 联系起来。斯涅尔定律给出 n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂，当光线从空气射入时常用 n = sin i / sin r。

n = sin i / sin r

n = c/v

Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle c, given by sin c = 1/n (for light going from denser to rarer medium). Applications include fibre optics for data transmission and endoscopes in medicine.

当入射角大于临界角 c 时发生全内反射，临界角满足 sin c = 1/n（光线从光密到光疏介质）。应用包括用于数据传输的光纤和医学内窥镜。

sin c = 1/n

8. Superposition, Interference and Standing Waves | 叠加、干涉与驻波

When two or more waves overlap, their displacements add algebraically. Constructive interference occurs when waves are in phase (path difference = nλ), and destructive interference when they are in antiphase (path difference = (n+½)λ).

两列或多列波叠加时，位移进行代数相加。当波同相时产生相长干涉（程差为 nλ），反相时产生相消干涉（程差为 (n+½)λ）。

Standing waves form when two identical travelling waves move in opposite directions, creating nodes (zero amplitude) and antinodes (maximum amplitude). The length L of a string fixed at both ends must equal a whole number of half-wavelengths: L = nλ/2. This gives harmonics with frequencies fₙ = nf₁.

两列相同的行波反向传播时形成驻波，产生波节（振幅为零）和波腹（振幅最大）。两端固定的弦长 L 必须等于半波长的整数倍：L = nλ/2。由此得到频率为 fₙ = nf₁ 的谐波。

L = nλ/2

In a closed pipe, the stationary wave pattern follows L = (2n-1)λ/4. Measuring resonance frequencies allows determination of the speed of sound or the wavelength of a microwave source.

在闭管中，驻波模式满足 L = (2n-1)λ/4。通过测量共振频率可测定声速或微波源的波长。

9. Direct Current Circuits | 直流电路

Electric current I = ΔQ/Δt measures the rate of flow of charge. Potential difference V = W/Q is the energy transferred per unit charge. Ohm’s law states V = IR for ohmic conductors at constant temperature. Resistance depends on material, length and cross-sectional area: R = ρL/A.

电流 I = ΔQ/Δt 衡量电荷流动的速率。电势差 V = W/Q 是每单位电荷转移的能量。欧姆定律指出，在恒定温度下欧姆导体的 V = IR。电阻取决于材料、长度和横截面积：R = ρL/A。

V = IR

R = ρL/A

Resistors in series add: Rₜₒₜₐₗ = R₁ + R₂ + …; in parallel, reciprocals add: 1/Rₜₒₜₐₗ = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂. Kirchhoff’s first law (junction rule) is conservation of charge, and the second law (loop rule) is conservation of energy. Internal resistance r of a cell causes terminal pd to drop when current flows: V = ε − Ir.

电阻串联相加：Rₜₒₜₐₗ = R₁ + R₂ + …；并联时倒数相加：1/Rₜₒₜₐₗ = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂。基尔霍夫第一定律（节点电流定律）体现电荷守恒，第二定律（回路电压定律）体现能量守恒。电源内阻 r 导致电流流过时端电压下降：V = ε − Ir。

10. The Photoelectric Effect and Photons | 光电效应与光子

The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light. Electrons are emitted from a metal surface only when the incident photon energy hf exceeds the work function Φ. Einstein’s photoelectric equation is hf = Φ + Kₘₐₓ, where Kₘₐₓ is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons.

光电效应揭示了光的粒子性。只有当入射光子能量 hf 大于逸出功 Φ 时，电子才会从金属表面逸出。爱因斯坦光电方程为 hf = Φ + Kₘₐₓ，其中 Kₘₐₓ 是逸出光电子的最大动能。

hf = Φ + Kₘₐₓ

The threshold frequency f₀ is the minimum frequency needed for emission, where hf₀ = Φ. Increasing intensity only increases the number of photons, hence the photocurrent, but does not change Kₘₐₓ. Stopping potential Vₛ relates to Kₘₐₓ by eVₛ = Kₘₐₓ.

截止频率 f₀ 是产生发射所需的最低频率，满足 hf₀ = Φ。增加光强只增加光子数，进而增大光电流，但不会改变 Kₘₐₓ。遏止电势 Vₛ 与 Kₘₐₓ 的关系为 eVₛ = Kₘₐₓ。

A graph of Kₘₐₓ against frequency yields a straight line with gradient equal to Planck’s constant h and intercept on the frequency axis equal to f₀. This experiment provided crucial evidence for the photon model.

以频率为横轴、Kₘₐₓ 为纵轴的图像为一条直线，斜率等于普朗克常量 h，与频率轴的交点即为 f₀。该实验为光子模型提供了关键证据。
