1. Kinematics Calculations | 运动学计算
In Edexcel Physics, the SUVAT equations model uniformly accelerated motion along a straight line. You must be able to identify the known quantities and select the correct equation.
Edexcel 物理中，匀变速直线运动由 SUVAT 方程描述。你需要正确识别已知量并选用合适的方程。
Example: A car accelerates uniformly from rest over a distance of 100 m, reaching a velocity of 20 m s⁻¹. Calculate its acceleration.
例题：一辆汽车从静止开始匀加速行驶 100 m，速度达到 20 m s⁻¹。求加速度。
v² = u² + 2as
Substitute u = 0 m s⁻¹, v = 20 m s⁻¹, s = 100 m.
代入 u = 0 m s⁻¹，v = 20 m s⁻¹，s = 100 m。
20² = 0 + 2a × 100
Divide both sides by 200: a = (400) / 200 = 2 m s⁻².
两边除以 200：a = (400) / 200 = 2 m s⁻²。
Always check that your final answer has the correct units and matches the direction of motion.
务必检查最终答案的单位是否正确，并与运动方向一致。
2. Forces and Newton’s Laws | 力与牛顿定律
Free-body diagrams and resolution of forces are tested regularly. Remember that resultant force Fnet = ma, and weight W = mg.
受力分析与力的分解是常考内容。牢记合力 Fnet = ma，重力 W = mg。
Example: A 5 kg block slides down a smooth slope inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Determine its acceleration down the slope. (Take g = 9.8 m s⁻²)
例题：一个 5 kg 的物块沿光滑斜面下滑，斜面与水平面夹角 30°。求沿斜面方向的加速度。(g = 9.8 m s⁻²)
Resolve weight: component down slope = mg sin θ.
分解重力：沿斜面分量 = mg sin θ。
F = 5 × 9.8 × sin30° = 5 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 24.5 N
Apply Newton’s second law: a = F / m = 24.5 / 5 = 4.9 m s⁻².
应用牛顿第二定律：a = F / m = 24.5 / 5 = 4.9 m s⁻²。
Note that the mass cancels out only when friction is absent; Edexcel questions often introduce friction after testing the frictionless case.
注意只有在无摩擦时质量才会约去；Edexcel 常先考光滑斜面再引入摩擦力。
3. Work, Energy and Power | 功、能与功率
The principle of conservation of energy allows you to link kinetic energy (½mv²), gravitational potential energy (mgh), and work done (F × d).
能量守恒定律将动能 (½mv²)、重力势能 (mgh) 和做功 (F × d) 联系起来。
Example: A ball of mass 0.2 kg is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 8 m s⁻¹. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the maximum height reached.
例题：质量为 0.2 kg 的小球以 8 m s⁻¹ 的初速度竖直上抛。忽略空气阻力，求最大高度。
½mv² = mgh
Cancel mass m and rearrange: h = v² / (2g).
消去 m 并整理：h = v² / (2g)。
h = 8² / (2 × 9.8) = 64 / 19.6 ≈ 3.27 m
Thus, the ball reaches approximately 3.27 m above the launch point.
小球上升到离出发点约 3.27 m 的高度。
4. Electricity and Circuits | 电学与电路
Edexcel Physics requires confident use of V = IR, P = IV = I²R = V²/R, and rules for series and parallel circuits.
Edexcel 物理要求熟练掌握 V = IR、P = IV = I²R = V²/R 以及串并联电路的规则。
Example: Two resistors of 4 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel across a 12 V battery. Calculate the total current drawn from the battery.
例题：两个阻值分别为 4 Ω 和 6 Ω 的电阻并联在 12 V 电池两端。求干路总电流。
For parallel combination: 1/Rtotal = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ → 1/Rtotal = 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12.
并联总电阻：1/Rtotal = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ → 1/Rtotal = 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12。
Rtotal = 12/5 = 2.4 Ω
Then I = V / Rtotal = 12 / 2.4 = 5 A.
于是干路电流 I = V / Rtotal = 12 / 2.4 = 5 A。
Alternatively, find the current through each branch and sum: I4Ω = 3 A, I6Ω = 2 A, total = 5 A.
也可分别计算各支路电流再求和：I4Ω = 3 A，I6Ω = 2 A，总和 5 A。
5. Mole Calculations and Stoichiometry | 摩尔计算与化学计量
In Edexcel Chemistry, the mole (n = m / M) is the bridge between mass and particles. Balanced equations give mole ratios for reactants and products.
Edexcel 化学中，摩尔 (n = m / M) 是连接质量与粒子数的桥梁。配平方程式提供了反应物与生成物的摩尔比。
Example: What mass of carbon dioxide is produced when 25.0 g of calcium carbonate is heated strongly? (CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂; Mr: CaCO₃ = 100.1, CO₂ = 44.0)
例题：加热 25.0 g 碳酸钙，求生成二氧化碳的质量。(CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂；相对分子质量：CaCO₃ = 100.1，CO₂ = 44.0)
Moles of CaCO₃ = 25.0 / 100.1 = 0.2498 mol.
CaCO₃ 的物质的量 = 25.0 / 100.1 = 0.2498 mol。
From the equation, 1 mol CaCO₃ produces 1 mol CO₂, so moles of CO₂ = 0.2498 mol.
由方程式，1 mol CaCO₃ 生成 1 mol CO₂，故 CO₂ 的物质的量 = 0.2498 mol。
Mass of CO₂ = 0.2498 × 44.0 = 11.0 g (3 s.f.)
Always quote answers to the same number of significant figures as the given data.
答案的有效数字应与题目数据保持一致。
6. Titration and Concentration | 滴定与浓度计算
Acid–base titrations are a staple of Edexcel Chemistry. Use c = n / V and the mole ratio from the neutralisation equation.
酸碱滴定是 Edexcel 化学的重点。运用 c = n / V 和中和反应的摩尔比进行计算。
Example: 25.0 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl is neutralised by 23.5 cm³ of NaOH solution. Calculate the concentration of NaOH.
例题：25.0 cm³ 的 0.100 mol dm⁻³ HCl 恰好被 23.5 cm³ NaOH 溶液中和。求 NaOH 的浓度。
Equation: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O (mole ratio 1:1).
方程式：HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O (摩尔比 1:1)。
Moles of HCl = c × V = 0.100 × (25.0/1000) = 0.00250 mol.
HCl 的物质的量 = c × V = 0.100 × (25.0/1000) = 0.00250 mol。
Hence, moles of NaOH = 0.00250 mol. Volume of NaOH = 23.5/1000 = 0.0235 dm³.
因此 NaOH 物质的量 = 0.00250 mol。NaOH 溶液体积 = 23.5/1000 = 0.0235 dm³。
c(NaOH) = 0.00250 / 0.0235 = 0.106 mol dm⁻³ (3 s.f.)
Watch out for unit conversions: cm³ to dm³ by dividing by 1000.
注意单位换算：cm³ 化为 dm³ 需除以 1000。
7. Enthalpy Changes and Hess’s Law | 焓变与赫斯定律
Edexcel frequently tests calorimetry (q = mcΔT) and Hess’s Law cycles. Remember that ΔH = –q / n for exothermic reactions, and be meticulous with sign conventions.
Edexcel 常考量热法 (q = mcΔT) 和赫斯定律循环。对于放热反应 ΔH = –q / n，务必注意正负号。
Example: In an experiment, 50.0 cm³ of 1.00 mol dm⁻³ HCl is mixed with excess Mg. The temperature rises by 28.5 °C. (c = 4.18 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹, density = 1.00 g cm⁻³). Calculate ΔH per mole of HCl.
例题：将 50.0 cm³ 1.00 mol dm⁻³ HCl 与过量 Mg 混合，温度升高 28.5 °C。求每摩尔 HCl 反应的 ΔH。(c = 4.18 J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹，密度 = 1.00 g cm⁻³)
Mass of solution = 50.0 g. q = mcΔT = 50.0 × 4.18 × 28.5 = 5956.5 J ≈ 5.96 kJ.
溶液质量 = 50.0 g，q = mcΔT = 50.0 × 4.18 × 28.5 = 5956.5 J ≈ 5.96 kJ。
Moles of HCl = 1.00 × (50.0/1000) = 0.0500 mol.
HCl 物质的量 = 1.00 × (50.0/1000) = 0.0500 mol。
ΔH = –q / n = –5.96 kJ / 0.0500 = –119.2 kJ mol⁻¹ ≈ –119 kJ mol⁻¹
The negative sign indicates an exothermic reaction. Always scale your answer to one mole of the limiting reactant.
负号表示放热。记得将答案换算为每摩尔限制反应物对应的热量。
8. Kinetics: Rate Equations | 动力学：速率方程
For Edexcel A-Level Chemistry, you may need to deduce orders from initial rate data and write the rate equation: rate = k[A]ᵐ[B]ⁿ.
Edexcel A-Level 化学要求会根据初速率数据确定反应级数，写出速率方程：rate = k[A]ᵐ[B]ⁿ。
Example: The table shows initial rates for the reaction A + B → products. Determine the rate equation and value of k.
| Experiment | [A] / mol dm⁻³ | [B] / mol dm⁻³ | Initial rate / mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.10 | 0.10 | 2.0 ×10⁻³ |
| 2 | 0.20 | 0.10 | 4.0 ×10⁻³ |
| 3 | 0.10 | 0.20 | 8.0 ×10⁻³ |
Compare expt 1 and 2: [A] doubles, [B] constant, rate doubles → first order in A.
比较实验 1 和 2：[A] 加倍，[B] 不变，速率加倍 → 对 A 为一级。
Compare expt 1 and 3: [B] doubles, [A] constant, rate quadruples → second order in B.
比较实验 1 和 3：[B] 加倍，[A] 不变，速率变为四倍 → 对 B 为二级。
rate = k[A][B]²
Substitute values from expt 1: 2.0 ×10⁻³ = k × 0.10 × (0.10)² → k = (2.0 ×10⁻³) / (1.0 ×10⁻³) = 2.0 dm⁶ mol⁻² s⁻¹.
代入实验 1 数据：2.0 ×10⁻³ = k × 0.10 × (0.10)² → k = 2.0 dm⁶ mol⁻² s⁻¹。
Always include the units of k, which depend on the overall order.
必须写出 k 的单位，其单位由总反应级数决定。
9. Genetics and Probability | 遗传学与概率计算
Edexcel Biology incorporates mathematical skills such as Punnett squares, probability, and the chi-squared (χ²) test.
Edexcel 生物包含庞纳特方格、概率和卡方 (χ²) 检验等数学技能。
Example: Two heterozygous pea plants (Tt) are crossed. T = tall (dominant), t = dwarf. Calculate the probability that an offspring is tall.
例题：两株杂合高茎豌豆 (Tt) 杂交。T = 高茎 (显性)，t = 矮茎。求子代为高茎的概率。
Punnett square yields: TT, Tt, Tt, tt.
庞纳特方格结果：TT、Tt、Tt、tt。
Tall phenotypes are TT and Tt → 3 out of 4 possibilities.
高茎表型为 TT 和 Tt → 4 种可能中有 3 种。
Probability (tall) = 3/4 = 0.75 or 75%
For a chi-squared test, calculate expected values, then χ² = Σ (O – E)² / E, and compare to a critical value at 5% significance level.
进行卡方检验时，先计算期望值，再根据 χ² = Σ (O – E)² / E 计算，并与 5% 显著性水平的临界值比较。
10. Data Handling and Error Analysis | 数据处理与误差分析
All three Edexcel sciences require you to calculate means, uncertainties, and percentage errors. Use absolute uncertainty (±) and combine uncertainties when adding or multiplying measurements.
Edexcel 三科科学都要求计算平均值、不确定度和百分误差。需要使用绝对不确定度 (±)，并在加减或乘除测量值时合成不确定度。
Example: A student measures the diameter of a wire as 0.50 ± 0.02 mm and length 1.200 ± 0.005 m. Calculate the cross-sectional area and its percentage uncertainty. (Area = πd²/4)
例题：某学生测得导线直径 0.50 ± 0.02 mm，长度 1.200 ± 0.005 m。求横截面积及其百分不确定度。(面积 = πd²/4)
d = 0.50 mm → radius = 0.25 mm = 2.5 ×10⁻⁴ m. Area A = π × (2.5 ×10⁻⁴)² = 1.96 ×10⁻⁷ m².
d = 0.50 mm → 半径 = 0.25 mm = 2.5 ×10⁻⁴ m。面积 A = π × (2.5 ×10⁻⁴)² = 1.96 ×10⁻⁷ m²。
Percentage uncertainty in diameter: (0.02 / 0.50) × 100% = 4%. Since area depends on d², multiply by 2: 8%.
直径的百分不确定度：(0.02 / 0.50) × 100% = 4%。面积与 d² 相关，因此百分不确定度加倍：8%。
Therefore, A = 1.96 ×10⁻⁷ m² ± 8%. The final absolute uncertainty can be expressed as ± 0.16 ×10⁻⁷ m².
因此 A = 1.96 ×10⁻⁷ m² ± 8%。最终绝对不确定度可写为 ± 0.16 ×10⁻⁷ m²。
Always reflect on whether your uncertainty is realistic; Edexcel expects you to comment on sources of error.
记得评估不确定度是否合理；Edexcel 要求对误差来源进行评述。
