1. Mechanics: Kinematics & Dynamics | 运动学与动力学
For constant acceleration in a straight line, three equations of motion connect displacement, velocity, acceleration and time.
在匀加速直线运动中,三个运动方程建立了位移、速度、加速度和时间的关系。
v = u + at
s = ut + ½at²
v² = u² + 2as
Always choose a consistent sign convention (e.g. upward as positive) and apply it to all vector quantities.
务必规定统一的正方向(如向上为正),并将此用于全部矢量。
The total momentum of a system remains constant if no external resultant force acts. For two-dimensional collisions, resolve momenta into perpendicular components before applying conservation.
若系统不受外力的合力作用,总动量保持不变。在二维碰撞中,先将动量分解到两个垂直方向再运用守恒。
Impulse = FΔt = Δp
Impulse is a vector; the area under a force–time graph equals the impulse (and thus the change in momentum).
冲量为矢量;力–时间图下方的面积等于冲量,即动量的变化。
2. Forces, Energy and Power | 力、能量和功率
Work done by a constant force is W = Fd cosθ, where θ is the angle between force and displacement. Energy is transferred and can change between kinetic, potential, thermal, etc.
恒力所做的功为 W = Fd cosθ,θ 是力与位移的夹角。能量可以传递,能在动能、势能、内能等形式间转化。
K.E. = ½mv²
ΔG.P.E. = mgΔh
Elastic P.E. = ½kx²
The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted.
能量守恒原理指出能量不会凭空产生或消失,只能传递或转换。
Power is the rate of doing work: P = W/t = Fv (for constant force in the direction of motion). Efficiency = useful output power / total input power.
功率是做功的速率:P = W/t = Fv(恒力沿运动方向)。效率 = 有用输出功率 / 总输入功率。
3. Circular Motion & Gravitation | 圆周运动与引力
An object moving in a circle at constant speed has a centripetal acceleration directed towards the centre: a = v²/r = rω². The centripetal force is F = mv²/r = mrω² and is always perpendicular to velocity.
匀速圆周运动的物体具有指向圆心的向心加速度:a = v²/r = rω²。向心力为 F = mv²/r = mrω²,方向始终与速度垂直。
Newton’s law of universal gravitation gives the force between point masses: F = GMm/r². The gravitational field strength at a point is g = GM/r², and gravitational potential is φ = −GM/r.
牛顿万有引力定律给出质点间的引力:F = GMm/r²。引力场强度为 g = GM/r²,引力势为 φ = −GM/r。
Escape speed: v = √(2GM/r)
Geostationary satellites orbit with a period of 24 hours in the equatorial plane; their orbital radius can be found using GMm/r² = mrω² and Kepler’s third law T² ∝ r³.
地球同步卫星周期为 24 小时,位于赤道平面内;利用 GMm/r² = mrω² 及开普勒第三定律 T² ∝ r³ 可求其轨道半径。
4. Oscillations & Waves | 振动与波动
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) requires a restoring force proportional to displacement: a = −ω²x. The period of a mass-spring system is T = 2π√(m/k) and of a simple pendulum T = 2π√(l/g) for small amplitudes.
简谐运动要求回复力与位移成正比:a = −ω²x。弹簧振子周期为 T = 2π√(m/k),单摆在小振幅下周期为 T = 2π√(l/g)。
Wave speed is v = fλ. The intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. For coherent sources, double-slit interference gives fringe separation Δx = λD / a, where a is slit separation and D the distance to the screen.
波速为 v = fλ。波的强度与振幅的平方成正比。相干光源在双缝干涉中,条纹间距 Δx = λD / a,a 为缝距,D 为屏距。
Diffraction grating: d sinθ = nλ
Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is nλ, and destructive interference when it is (n+½)λ.
光程差为 nλ 时出现加强(亮纹),为 (n+½)λ 时出现减弱(暗纹)。
5. Electric Fields & Capacitance | 电场与电容
Coulomb’s law for two point charges: F = kQq/r², with k = 1/(4πε₀). Electric field strength E = F/q. In a uniform field between parallel plates, E = V/d and the force on a charge is F = qV/d.
库仑定律:F = kQq/r²,其中 k = 1/(4πε₀)。电场强度 E = F/q;平行板间的匀强电场中 E = V/d,点电荷受力 F = qV/d。
Capacitance C = Q/V. The energy stored in a capacitor is given by E = ½QV = ½CV² = ½Q²/C. For a discharging capacitor through a resistor, the charge decays exponentially: Q = Q₀ exp(−t/RC), and the time constant is τ = RC.
电容 C = Q/V。电容器储存的能量为 E = ½QV = ½CV² = ½Q²/C。对电阻放电时,电荷指数衰减:Q = Q₀ exp(−t/RC),时间常数为 τ = RC。
In series, the total capacitance 1/C_total = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + …; in parallel, C_total = C₁ + C₂ + ….
串联时总电容满足 1/C_total = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + …;并联时 C_total = C₁ + C₂ + …。
6. Current Electricity & Circuits | 电流与电路
Ohm’s law for an ohmic conductor at constant temperature: V = IR. Resistance arises from collisions between electrons and the lattice; resistivity ρ = RA/l, so R = ρl/A.
欧姆定律(恒温下欧姆导体):V = IR。电阻源于电子与晶格的碰撞;电阻率 ρ = RA/l,因此 R = ρl/A。
A source of emf ε has internal resistance r, so the terminal potential difference is V = ε − Ir. In a potential divider, the output voltage from a resistor R₁ in series with R₂ is V_out = [R₁/(R₁+R₂)] × ε.
电动势为 ε 的电源有内阻 r,端电压为 V = ε − Ir。在分压电路中,串联电阻 R₁ 与 R₂ 的输出电压为 V_out = [R₁/(R₁+R₂)] × ε。
Power: P = IV = I²R = V²/R
Kirchhoff’s first law: total current entering a junction equals total current leaving. Kirchhoff’s second law: the sum of emfs around any closed loop equals the sum of potential differences.
基尔霍夫第一定律:流入节点的电流之和等于流出电流之和;第二定律:闭合回路中电动势的代数和等于各段电位降的代数和。
7. Magnetic Fields & Electromagnetic Induction | 磁场与电磁感应
Force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field: F = BIL sinθ, where θ is the angle between the current and the B-field. On a moving charge, the force is F = Bqv sinθ.
磁场对电流的作用力:F = BIL sinθ,θ 为电流与磁场的夹角;对运动电荷的作用力为 F = Bqv sinθ。
Magnetic flux Φ = BA cosθ; flux linkage = NΦ. Faraday’s law states that the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkage: ε = −d(NΦ)/dt. The negative sign indicates Lenz’s law: the induced current opposes the change causing it.
磁通量 Φ = BA cosθ;磁链 = NΦ。法拉第定律指出感应电动势与磁链变化率成正比:ε = −d(NΦ)/dt,负号代表楞次定律:感应电流的效应阻碍引起它的变化。
Transformer: Vₚ / Vₛ = Nₚ / Nₛ
A charged particle moving perpendicular to a uniform B-field follows a circular path of radius r = mv/(Bq). The Hall voltage is V_H = BI/(nqt), allowing measurement of magnetic field or charge carrier density.
带电粒子垂直于匀强磁场运动时做匀速圆周运动,半径 r = mv/(Bq)。霍尔电压为 V_H = BI/(nqt),可用于测量磁场或载流子浓度。
8. Thermal Physics & Ideal Gases | 热物理与理想气体
Temperature is a measure of the average random kinetic energy of particles. Absolute zero is 0 K (−273 °C). Internal energy is the sum of the random kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system.
温度是粒子无规则运动平均动能的量度;绝对零度为 0 K (−273 °C)。内能是系统内所有粒子随机动能与势能之和。
Q = mcΔθ (specific heat capacity) Q = mL (specific latent heat)
Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT = NkT. The kinetic theory model assumes perfectly elastic collisions, negligible volume of particles, no intermolecular forces, and that average kinetic energy ∝ T.
理想气体状态方程:pV = nRT = NkT。分子运动论假设:完全弹性碰撞、分子自身体积忽略、无分子间作用力,且平均动能与 T 成正比。
Average KE per molecule = (3/2)kT
First law of thermodynamics: ΔU = Q + W (using the sign convention: Q positive when added to the system, W positive when work is done ON the system). For an adiabatic change, pV^γ = constant, where γ = Cₚ/Cᵥ.
热力学第一定律:ΔU = Q + W(符号约定:系统吸热 Q 为正,外界对系统做功 W 为正)。绝热过程满足 pV^γ = 常数,γ = Cₚ/Cᵥ。
