1. Momentum and Impulse | 动量与冲量
Momentum, defined as p = mv, quantifies the ‘quantity of motion’ a body possesses and is a vector. The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse (force × time) equals the change in momentum: FΔt = Δp. This relationship explains why airbags reduce injury – extending the collision time reduces the average force.
动量定义为 p = mv，它量化了物体所具有的“运动量”，是一个矢量。冲量-动量定理指出，冲量（力 × 时间）等于动量的变化：FΔt = Δp。这一关系解释了为什么安全气囊能减少伤害——延长碰撞时间会降低平均作用力。
2. Conservation of Momentum in Collisions | 碰撞中的动量守恒
In a closed system, total momentum is conserved. For a two-body interaction, m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂. The Jan19 insert includes this principle alongside kinetic energy equations to distinguish between elastic (KE conserved) and inelastic (KE not conserved) collisions. Remember to treat velocities as signed vectors along a chosen direction.
在一个封闭系统中，总动量守恒。对于两个物体的相互作用，有 m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂。Jan19 插页包含了这一原理以及动能方程，用以区分弹性碰撞（动能守恒）和非弹性碰撞（动能不守恒）。务必把速度视为沿选定方向带符号的矢量。
3. Circular Motion Dynamics | 圆周运动动力学
For uniform circular motion, the speed is constant but the velocity changes due to a centripetal acceleration directed towards the centre. The key relations are v = ωr, a = v²/r = rω², and F = mv²/r = mrω². The insert reminds you that the centripetal force is not a new type of force but the resultant force directed to the centre (e.g. tension, gravity, friction).
对于匀速圆周运动，速率恒定，但速度因指向圆心的向心加速度而改变。关键关系式为 v = ωr、a = v²/r = rω² 以及 F = mv²/r = mrω²。插页提醒你，向心力并非一种新型力，而是指向圆心的合力（例如拉力、重力、摩擦力）。
4. Electric Fields and Coulomb’s Law | 电场与库仑定律
The force between two point charges is given by Coulomb’s law: F = kQ₁Q₂/r² where k = 1/(4πε₀). The electric field strength is E = F/q, and for a point charge E = kQ/r². In a uniform field between parallel plates, E = V/d. The insert also lists the electron charge –e and the permittivity of free space ε₀.
两点电荷之间的力由库仑定律给出：F = kQ₁Q₂/r²，其中 k = 1/(4πε₀)。电场强度为 E = F/q，对于点电荷有 E = kQ/r²。在平行板间的匀强电场中，E = V/d。插页还列出了电子电荷 –e 和真空介电常数 ε₀。
5. Capacitors and Energy Storage | 电容器与储能
A capacitor stores charge and energy in an electric field. The defining equation is C = Q/V. The energy stored is W = ½QV = ½CV² = ½Q²/C. For charging and discharging through a resistor, the time constant τ = RC gives the time for the charge to fall to 1/e (≈ 37%) of its initial value. The insert provides exponential decay forms: Q = Q₀ e–t/RC.
电容器在电场中储存电荷和能量。其定义方程为 C = Q/V。储存的能量为 W = ½QV = ½CV² = ½Q²/C。对于通过电阻的充放电，时间常数 τ = RC 给出了电荷衰减到初始值的 1/e（约 37%）所需的时间。插页提供了指数衰减形式：Q = Q₀ e–t/RC。
6. Magnetic Forces on Currents and Moving Charges | 磁场对电流与运动电荷的作用力
When a current-carrying conductor or a moving charge moves across magnetic field lines, it experiences a force. For a straight wire F = BIl sinθ, and for a point charge F = Bqv sinθ. The direction is given by Fleming’s left‑hand rule for motors. The insert also includes the formula for magnetic flux density B and the flux Φ = BA cosθ.
当载流导体或运动电荷穿过磁感线时，会受到力的作用。对于直导线，F = BIl sinθ；对于点电荷，F = Bqv sinθ。方向由电动机左手定则给出。插页还包括磁通量密度 B 以及磁通量 Φ = BA cosθ 的公式。
7. Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday’s Law | 电磁感应与法拉第定律
A changing magnetic flux induces an e.m.f. Faraday’s law is ε = –N dΦ/dt (the negative sign reflects Lenz’s law: the induced current opposes the change). For a conductor of length l moving through a field: ε = Blv. The insert helps you link flux linkage (NΦ) with induced e.m.f. and apply these to generators and transformers.
变化的磁通量会感应出电动势。法拉第定律为 ε = –N dΦ/dt（负号体现了楞次定律：感应电流阻碍变化）。对于在磁场中运动的长度为 l 的导体：ε = Blv。插页帮助你建立磁链（NΦ）与感应电动势之间的联系，并将其应用于发电机和变压器。
8. The Nucleus and Einstein’s Mass–Energy Relation | 原子核与爱因斯坦质能关系
Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence, E = mc², underpins nuclear physics. The insert provides the unified atomic mass unit u and its energy equivalent (1 u = 931.5 MeV). Binding energy is the energy required to separate a nucleus into its constituent nucleons, calculated from the mass defect Δm: ΔE = Δmc². High binding energy per nucleon indicates greater stability.
爱因斯坦的质能等价关系 E = mc² 是核物理的基础。插页提供了统一原子质量单位 u 及其能量当量（1 u = 931.5 MeV）。结合能是将原子核分解为组成核子所需要的能量，通过质量亏损 Δm 计算：ΔE = Δmc²。每个核子的结合能越高，原子核越稳定。
9. Radioactive Decay Law and Activity | 放射性衰变定律与活度
Radioactive decay is a random process modelled by the exponential law N = N₀ e–λt, where λ is the decay constant. Activity A = λN (= –dN/dt) measures decays per second. The half‑life T½ = ln 2 / λ. The insert reminds you to use the same time units and to convert between N, A and mass when interpreting data.
放射性衰变是一个随机过程，可用指数定律 N = N₀ e–λt 描述，其中 λ 是衰变常量。活度 A = λN (= –dN/dt) 衡量每秒衰变次数。半衰期 T½ = ln 2 / λ。插页提醒你使用一致的时间单位，并在解读数据时在 N、A 和质量之间进行换算。
10. Practical Skills: Using the Insert Effectively | 实用技巧：有效使用插页
During the exam, do not simply copy formulae – interpret them. For instance, recognise that F = Bqv implies the force is zero when the charge moves parallel to the field. Use the constants table (e.g. elementary charge e = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, Planck constant h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J s) to support calculations. When a question involves a combination of areas – such as circular motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field – equate Bqv and mv²/r to find the radius.
考试中不要只是照抄公式——要去解读它们。例如，要认识到 F = Bqv 意味着当电荷平行于磁场运动时力为零。利用常数表（如基本电荷 e = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C，普朗克常量 h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J s）来支持计算。当题目涉及多个领域的结合时——例如带电粒子在磁场中做圆周运动——令 Bqv 与 mv²/r 相等以求出半径。
