1. Scalar and Vector Confusion | 标量与矢量的混淆

A fundamental error seen in the PH01 paper was treating vector quantities as though they were scalars. Candidates frequently gave only the magnitude when a question asked for displacement, velocity or force, neglecting both direction and the need for a sign convention.

PH01试卷中出现的一个根本性错误是将矢量当成标量处理。当题目要求求解位移、速度或力时，考生往往只给出大小，忽略了方向以及符号约定的必要性。

When we describe a velocity as -3.0 m s⁻¹, the negative sign carries physical meaning — it indicates motion opposite to a chosen positive sense. Omitting the sign suggests a scalar speed, not a vector velocity. In momentum calculations, direction must be assigned consistently throughout the problem; otherwise signs become muddled in conservation equations.

当我们用 -3.0 m s⁻¹ 描述速度时，负号具有物理意义——它表示运动方向与所选定的正向相反。省略负号所暗示的是标量速率，而非矢量速度。在动量计算中，整个问题中必须始终一致地标定方向；否则在守恒方程中符号就会混乱。

The report also flagged that many students confused distance with displacement in the context of motion under gravity. Distance is always positive and cumulative, while displacement can decrease in magnitude as an object returns to its starting point.

报告还指出，很多学生在重力作用下的运动情境中混淆了路程与位移。路程总是为正且累积叠加，而位移的大小在物体返回起点时会减小。

2. Interpreting Kinematic Graphs | 运动学图像解读

Questions requiring candidates to extract information from displacement–time and velocity–time graphs revealed a lack of confidence with slopes and areas. Report examiners noted that many students could recite that ‘gradient gives velocity’ but could not apply this when the graph was curved or when two objects were compared.

要求考生从位移–时间图和速度–时间图中提取信息的题目，暴露出学生对斜率和面积的含义缺乏信心。报告考官指出，许多学生能够背诵“斜率给出速度”，但当图像为曲线或需要比较两个物体时却无法应用。

For a curved displacement–time graph, the instantaneous velocity at a point is the gradient of the tangent, not of the chord. Candidates often drew a straight line connecting two distant points and claimed that slope as the velocity at an intermediate time — a method that gives the average velocity over an interval instead.

对于弯曲的位移–时间图，某时刻的瞬时速度是该点切线的斜率，而非弦的斜率。考生常常连接两个相距较远的点画直线，并声称该斜率就是中间时刻的速度——这种方法给出的是时间段内的平均速度。

Velocity–time graphs call for careful distinction between area under the graph (displacement) and gradient (acceleration). A common mistake in the January report was to state that the area under a velocity–time graph gave ‘acceleration’ rather than displacement. Remember: area = ∫ v dt = Δs, while gradient = dv/dt = a.

速度–时间图需要仔细区分图线下的面积（位移）和斜率（加速度）。1月报告中一个常见的错误是说速度–时间图下的面积表示“加速度”而不是位移。请记住：面积 = ∫ v dt = Δs，而斜率 = dv/dt = a。

3. Projectile Motion Symmetry | 抛体运动的对称性

The 2022 PH01 report drew attention to projectile motion, specifically the belief that the velocity at the highest point is zero. Many candidates applied the kinematics equations to the vertical peak by setting final vertical velocity v = 0, which is correct for the vertical component, but then incorrectly inferred that the overall velocity becomes zero.

2022年PH01报告关注了抛体运动，特别是认为最高点速度为零的错误想法。许多考生在应用运动学方程时，将竖直方向末速度设为 v = 0，这对竖直分量来说是正确的，但随后错误地推断合速度为零。

At the maximum height: v_y = 0, v_x = u cos θ, so v = u cos θ ≠ 0 (unless vertical launch).

在最大高度处：v_y = 0，v_x = u cos θ，因此 v = u cos θ ≠ 0（除非竖直发射）。

Another subtlety concerned the time of flight. For a projectile launched and landing at the same vertical level, the total time of flight is determined solely by the initial vertical component of velocity and g: t_total = 2u sin θ / g. Changing the horizontal speed does not alter the time spent in the air. Candidates frequently tried to incorporate horizontal distance into time calculations, leading to circular reasoning.

另一个微妙之处在于飞行时间。对于发射和落地点在同一水平面的抛体，总飞行时间完全由初速度的竖直分量和 g 决定：t_total = 2u sin θ / g。改变水平速度并不会改变物体在空中的时间。考生经常试图将水平距离纳入时间计算，导致循环推理。

4. Newton’s Third Law Pairs | 牛顿第三定律作用力对

The report emphasised persistent difficulties with identifying action–reaction pairs. A common incorrect pairing was ‘weight of the book’ and ‘normal reaction from the table’. These are not a third-law pair because both forces act on the same object — the book — whereas a true Newton’s third-law pair must act on two different bodies.

报告强调，学生在识别作用力与反作用力对时持续存在困难。一个常见的错误配对是“书的重力”与“桌面的支持力”。它们不是第三定律的力对，因为这两个力作用在同一物体（书）上；而真正的牛顿第三定律力对必须作用在两个不同的物体上。

The correct pair for the book’s weight is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the book, paired with the gravitational force exerted by the book on the Earth. For the normal contact force on the book, its pair is the downward force exerted by the book on the table. Always look for the ‘other object’ when checking for a third-law partner.

书的重量这一力的正确反作用力是地球对书施加的引力，与书对地球施加的引力配成对。至于作用在书上的支持力，它的反作用力是书对桌面向下的压力。在检查第三定律的力对时，始终要寻找“另一个物体”。

5. Impulse and Momentum Changes | 冲量与动量变化

Momentum problems in the January 2022 session often involved collisions or impacts where the direction of the force changed. The impulse–momentum theorem, F Δt = Δp, was frequently misapplied because candidates did not treat final and initial momenta as vectors with appropriate signs.

2022年1月考题中的动量问题常常涉及碰撞或撞击，作用力的方向会发生改变。冲量–动量定理 F Δt = Δp 经常被误用，因为考生没有将末动量和初动量视为带有适当符号的矢量。

Consider a ball bouncing off a wall. If the initial velocity is +4 m s⁻¹ and the rebound velocity is -3 m s⁻¹, the change in velocity is Δv = (-3) – (+4) = -7 m s⁻¹, not -1 m s⁻¹. When this vector change is multiplied by mass, a much larger impulse (and hence larger average force) emerges than many candidates calculated.

设想一个球从墙壁反弹。若初速度为 +4 m s⁻¹，反弹速度为 -3 m s⁻¹，则速度变化量为 Δv = (-3) – (+4) = -7 m s⁻¹，而非 -1 m s⁻¹。当这个矢量变化量乘以质量时，得到的冲量（从而平均力）要比许多考生计算的结果大得多。

The force–time graph was another area of weakness. The impulse is equal to the area under a force–time graph, regardless of whether the force is constant. For a non-linear graph, the area must be found by counting squares or integration, not by simply multiplying a single force value by the contact time.

力–时间图是另一个薄弱环节。无论力是否恒定，冲量都等于力–时间图下的面积。对于非线性图像，必须通过数方格或积分求面积，而不能简单地将单个力值乘以接触时间。

6. Work-Energy Principle Misapplications | 功–能原理的错误应用

The work done by a force is often equated to the change in kinetic energy, but this only holds as the ‘net work’ done by all forces. Candidates frequently used W = F s = ½ m v² without considering whether friction, air resistance or an applied pulling force was the only force doing work. This led to significant overestimates or underestimates of speed.

力所做的功常常等同于动能的变化量，但这仅在所有力的“净功”情形下成立。考生常常使用 W = F s = ½ m v²，却没有考虑究竟是摩擦力、空气阻力还是外加拉力单独做功。这导致了速度值的严重高估或低估。

The work–energy principle states: net work = change in kinetic energy. Net work is the sum of work done by all forces, both conservative and non-conservative. In the presence of friction, the net work is less than the work done by the motive force, and some energy is dissipated. Report examiners observed that students who drew a free-body diagram and explicitly summed the work of each force were far more likely to obtain correct answers.

功–能原理指出：净功 = 动能的变化量。净功是所有力（保守力和非保守力）所做功的总和。在有摩擦力存在时，净功小于驱动力所做的功，部分能量会被耗散。报告考官观察到，那些画出隔离体图并明确将每个力所做的功加总起来的学生，得到正确答案的可能性要高得多。

7. Stress-Strain Graphs for Different Materials | 不同材料的应力–应变图

Material behaviour was a focus, with the report noting confusion between the shapes of stress–strain curves for brittle, ductile and polymeric materials. A typical error was drawing a ductile material’s curve with an abrupt drop at fracture, rather than showing necking and a gradual decrease in stress after the ultimate tensile stress.

材料行为是考查重点，报告指出学生容易混淆脆性材料、延性材料和聚合物材料的应力–应变曲线形状。一个典型错误是，在绘制延性材料的曲线时，学生在断裂处画出一个陡峭的下降，而不是展示出颈缩现象以及在极限抗拉应力之后应力的缓慢减小。

Another point of confusion was the interpretation of the area under a stress–strain graph. For an elastic material, the area under the loading curve up to the elastic limit represents the strain energy per unit volume (resilience) that can be recovered. Candidates often stated that this area gave ‘force’ or ‘extension’, losing sight of the quantities normalised by original area and length.

另一个混淆点是对应力–应变图下面积的解读。对于弹性材料，加载曲线下直至弹性极限的面积代表可以恢复的单位体积应变能（回弹模量）。考生常常声称该面积表示“力”或“伸长量”，忽略了这些量已经除以原始横截面积和原始长度做了归一化。

8. Determining Young Modulus from a Graph | 从图像确定杨氏模量

Calculating the Young modulus from a force–extension or stress–strain graph was examined, and the report revealed that many students misidentified the gradient they needed. On a force–extension graph, the Young modulus E is given by (gradient) × (original length / cross-sectional area), not simply by the gradient alone.

根据力–伸长图或应力–应变图计算杨氏模量是考试内容，报告显示许多学生错误地识别了他们需要的斜率。在力–伸长图上，杨氏模量 E = （斜率）× （原始长度 / 横截面积），而不仅仅是斜率本身。

E = (F L₀) / (A ΔL) = (gradient of F–ΔL graph) × (L₀ / A)

E = (F L₀) / (A ΔL) = (F–ΔL 图斜率) × (L₀ / A)

When a stress–strain graph is provided, E is the gradient of the linear region directly, because stress = F/A and strain = ΔL/L₀. No extra length or area factors are needed. The report stressed that candidates must check which axes are being used before selecting their method.

当提供的是应力–应变图时，杨氏模量E直接就是线性区的斜率，因为应力 = F/A，应变 = ΔL/L₀。无需额外的长度或面积因子。报告强调，考生在选择方法之前必须检查所使用的坐标轴。

Common experimental errors such as using a wire with a kink, not taking repeated readings, or failing to measure the original length from the clamp to the marker were also noted. These reduce accuracy and lead to systematic errors in the derived E value.

常见的实验误差，例如使用了有扭结的金属丝、未进行重复读数、或未测量从夹具到标记点的原始长度，也被报告提及。这些都会降低精确度，并导致所推导的E值出现系统误差。

9. Photoelectric Effect Key Points | 光电效应关键点

The photoelectric effect continues to be a challenge. The January 2022 report showed that some candidates still believed increasing the intensity of light would increase the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons. Correctly, photon energy depends on frequency (E = h f), and intensity determines the number of photons per second, thus the photocurrent, but not the maximum kinetic energy.

光电效应始终是一个难点。2022年1月的报告显示，一些考生仍然相信增加光强度会增加逸出光电子的最大动能。正确的认识是，光子能量取决于频率 (E = h f)，而强度决定每秒的光子数，因而决定光电流，但不会影响最大动能。

Another misconception was that the stopping potential V_s is reached when the photoelectrons ‘stop moving’. In the photoelectric experiment, V_s is the negative potential that just prevents the most energetic photoelectrons from reaching the collector electrode, making the current zero. The kinetic energy lost by the fastest electrons is balanced by the work done against the electric field: e V_s = K_max.

另一个误解是，当光电子“停止运动”时就会达到遏止电势 V_s。在光电效应实验中，V_s 是一个负电势，它刚好阻止动能最大的光电子到达收集电极，使电流变为零。最快电子所失去的动能与克服电场力所做的功相平衡：e V_s = K_max。

The concept of work function φ was sometimes confused with threshold frequency. Although related by φ = h f₀, the work function is an energy (in J or eV), whereas threshold frequency is a frequency. The report advised that candidates explicitly write down the Einstein equation K_max = h f – φ before substituting values, to keep their reasoning clear.

逸出功 φ 的概念有时与截止频率混淆。尽管两者通过 φ = h f₀ 关联，但逸出功是能量（单位为J或eV），而截止频率是频率。报告建议考生在代入数值前，先明确写出爱因斯坦方程 K_max = h f – φ，以保持推理清晰。

10. Atomic Energy Levels and Spectra | 原子能级与光谱

Questions on atomic energy levels often required candidates to identify possible emission transitions. A frequent mistake was to assume that any difference between two energy levels corresponds to a visible photon; instead, photon energy E₂ – E₁ must be evaluated using ΔE = h f = h c / λ, and the resulting wavelength checked against the electromagnetic spectrum.

关于原子能级的题目常要求考生识别可能的发射跃迁。一个常见错误是假设任意两个能级之差都对应于可见光子；正确做法是必须用 ΔE = h f = h c / λ 计算光子能量，并将得出的波长与电磁波谱对照。

The report noted difficulty with interpreting an energy-level diagram when an atom is excited from a lower to a higher state by electron impact. The electron must have kinetic energy at least equal to the energy gap, but the electron does not necessarily lose all its kinetic energy; the residual speed can leave the electron with some energy after the collision.

报告指出，学生在理解原子被电子碰撞从低能态激发到高能态时遇到困难。电子的动能必须至少等于能级差，但电子不一定会丧失其全部动能；碰撞后电子可能还保留部分能量，因此仍有剩余速率。

When an electron transitions downwards, the emitted photon may not correspond to a single visible line; it could be ultraviolet or infrared. Many candidates lost marks by stating that all downward transitions produce colours that can be seen. Using the formula to calculate wavelength is the only reliable method to determine which series (Lyman, Balmer, Paschen) the photon belongs to.

当电子向下跃迁时，发射的光子可能并不对应于单根可见谱线；它可能是紫外线或红外线。很多考生因声称所有向下跃迁都会产生可看见的颜色而失分。使用公式计算波长是确定光子属于哪个线系（莱曼系、巴耳末系、帕邢系）唯一可靠的方法。
