计算题是 WJEC IGCSE 科学考试的重要组成部分,考查你在物理、化学和生物学情境中应用数学技能的能力。本文涵盖了你需要精通的基本公式、解题技巧和典型例题,帮助你备战考试。
1. Units and Conversions | 单位与换算
Always check the units given in the question. Common conversions include kilograms to grams (1 kg = 1000 g), centimetres to metres (1 m = 100 cm), and minutes to seconds (1 min = 60 s). In calculations, you must use SI units for accurate results.
始终核对题目所给的单位。常见的换算包括千克与克 (1 kg = 1000 g),厘米与米 (1 m = 100 cm),分钟与秒 (1 min = 60 s)。在计算中,必须使用国际单位制 (SI) 才能得到准确结果。
Example: Convert 5400 cm to metres → 5400 ÷ 100 = 54 m
示例:将 5400 厘米转换为米 → 5400 ÷ 100 = 54 m
2. Speed, Distance and Time | 速度、距离与时间
The relationship is given by speed = distance ÷ time. Rearranging gives distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Typical units are m/s for speed, metres for distance and seconds for time.
基本关系为 速度 = 距离 ÷ 时间。经移项可得 距离 = 速度 × 时间,以及 时间 = 距离 ÷ 速度。速度通常以 m/s、距离以米、时间以秒为单位。
A car travels 150 km in 2 hours. Calculate its average speed in km/h. → Speed = 150 ÷ 2 = 75 km/h.
一辆汽车在 2 小时内行驶 150 公里。计算其平均速度 (km/h)。→ 速度 = 150 ÷ 2 = 75 km/h。
3. Acceleration | 加速度
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity: a = (v – u) ÷ t, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity and t is the time taken. The unit is m/s². Deceleration is negative acceleration.
加速度是速度的变化率:a = (v – u) ÷ t,其中 v 为末速度,u 为初速度,t 为所用时间。单位为 m/s²。减速即为负加速度。
A cyclist increases velocity from 4 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. Find acceleration. → a = (10 – 4) ÷ 3 = 2 m/s².
一名自行车手在 3 秒内将速度从 4 m/s 提升到 10 m/s,求加速度。→ a = (10 – 4) ÷ 3 = 2 m/s²。
4. Force and Newton’s Second Law | 力与牛顿第二定律
Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²). This is often used with weight: weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg). Remember 1 N is the force needed to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s².
力 (N) = 质量 (kg) × 加速度 (m/s²)。这一定律常与重力结合:重力 (N) = 质量 (kg) × 重力场强度 (N/kg)。记住 1 N 是使 1 kg 物体产生 1 m/s² 加速度所需的力。
What force is needed to accelerate a 1200 kg car at 3 m/s²? → F = 1200 × 3 = 3600 N.
要使 1200 kg 的汽车以 3 m/s² 的加速度行驶,需要多大的力?→ F = 1200 × 3 = 3600 N。
5. Work Done and Energy | 做功与能量
Work done (J) = force (N) × distance moved in the direction of the force (m). This equation also applies to gravitational potential energy: GPE = mgh, where g is gravitational field strength and h is height.
做功 (J) = 力 (N) × 沿力的方向移动的距离 (m)。该公式也用于重力势能:GPE = mgh,其中 g 为重力场强度,h 为高度。
How much work is done lifting a 20 kg box through a height of 2 m? (g = 10 N/kg) → Force = weight = 20 × 10 = 200 N, work = 200 × 2 = 400 J.
将一个 20 kg 的箱子提升 2 m,做了多少功?(g = 10 N/kg) → 力 = 重力 = 20 × 10 = 200 N,功 = 200 × 2 = 400 J。
6. Power | 功率
Power (W) = work done (J) ÷ time (s) or power = energy transferred ÷ time. 1 watt is 1 joule per second. In electrical contexts, P = I × V.
功率 (W) = 做功 (J) ÷ 时间 (s),也可表示为 功率 = 转化能量 ÷ 时间。1 瓦特等于每秒 1 焦耳。在电学中,P = I × V。
An electric motor does 600 J of work in 12 s. Calculate its power. → P = 600 ÷ 12 = 50 W.
一台电动机在 12 秒内做功 600 J,计算其功率。→ P = 600 ÷ 12 = 50 W。
7. Ohm’s Law and Resistance | 欧姆定律与电阻
Resistance (Ω) = voltage (V) ÷ current (A). Rearrangements: V = I × R and I = V ÷ R. Remember that resistance is constant for an ohmic conductor at constant temperature.
电阻 (Ω) = 电压 (V) ÷ 电流 (A)。移项后得 V = I × R 和 I = V ÷ R。记住对于欧姆导体,在一定温度下电阻是恒定的。
A lamp has a current of 0.5 A when connected to a 6 V supply. Find its resistance. → R = 6 ÷ 0.5 = 12 Ω.
一盏灯接入 6 V 电源时电流为 0.5 A,求电阻。→ R = 6 ÷ 0.5 = 12 Ω。
8. Electrical Power and Energy | 电功率与电能
Electrical power can be calculated using P = I × V or P = I² × R. Energy transferred (J) = power (W) × time (s). Electricity bills use kilowatt-hours: E (kWh) = power (kW) × time (h).
电功率可用 P = I × V 或 P = I² × R 计算。转化电能 (J) = 功率 (W) × 时间 (s)。电费单常用千瓦时:电能 (kWh) = 功率 (kW) × 时间 (h)。
A 2 kW heater is used for 3 hours. Calculate the energy transferred in kWh. → E = 2 × 3 = 6 kWh.
一个 2 kW 的加热器使用 3 小时,计算转移的电能 (kWh)。→ E = 2 × 3 = 6 kWh。
9. Moles and Molar Mass | 摩尔与摩尔质量
Number of moles = mass (g) ÷ molar mass (g/mol). The molar mass is the relative formula mass (Mr) expressed in grams. Always use the periodic table to find atomic masses.
摩尔数 = 质量 (g) ÷ 摩尔质量 (g/mol)。摩尔质量是以克表示相对式量 (Mr)。始终用元素周期表查找原子质量。
Calculate the moles in 8 g of oxygen gas (O₂). Mr = 2 × 16 = 32, so moles = 8 ÷ 32 = 0.25 mol.
计算 8 g 氧气 (O₂) 的物质的量。Mr = 2 × 16 = 32,因此物质的量 = 8 ÷ 32 = 0.25 mol。
10. Concentration of Solutions | 溶液浓度
Concentration (mol/dm³) = amount of solute (mol) ÷ volume of solution (dm³). Alternatively, concentration (g/dm³) = mass of solute (g) ÷ volume (dm³). Remember 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³.
浓度 (mol/dm³) = 溶质的物质的量 (mol) ÷ 溶液体积 (dm³)。也可表示为浓度 (g/dm³) = 溶质质量 (g) ÷ 体积 (dm³)。记住 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³。
0.5 mol of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 250 cm³ of water. Find concentration in mol/dm³. → 250 cm³ = 0.25 dm³, concentration = 0.5 ÷ 0.25 = 2 mol/dm³.
将 0.5 mol 氢氧化钠溶于 250 cm³ 水中,求浓度 (mol/dm³)。→ 250 cm³ = 0.25 dm³,浓度 = 0.5 ÷ 0.25 = 2 mol/dm³。
11. Reacting Masses and Percentage Yield | 反应质量与产率
Using balanced equations, you can calculate the theoretical mass of a product. Percentage yield = (actual mass ÷ theoretical mass) × 100%. Atom economy is also important: atom economy = (Mr of desired product ÷ total Mr of reactants) × 100%.
使用配平的方程式,可以计算产物的理论质量。百分产率 = (实际质量 ÷ 理论质量) × 100%。原子经济性也很重要:原子经济性 = (所需产物的 Mr ÷ 反应物总 Mr) × 100%。
If 2.5 g of copper is produced from a reaction with a theoretical yield of 3.2 g, find the percentage yield. → (2.5 ÷ 3.2) × 100% = 78.1%.
某反应实际生成铜 2.5 g,理论产率为 3.2 g,求百分产率。→ (2.5 ÷ 3.2) × 100% = 78.1%。
12. Magnification in Biology | 生物学中的放大倍率
Magnification = size of image ÷ actual size of specimen. Both measurements must be in the same unit. This formula often appears when using microscopes or interpreting scale bars.
放大倍率 = 图像尺寸 ÷ 标本实际大小。两个测量值必须单位一致。这个公式常出现在显微镜使用或比例尺解读的情境中。
An image of a cell has a diameter of 20 mm, but the real cell is 0.05 mm. Magnification = 20 ÷ 0.05 = ×400.
某细胞图像直径为 20 mm,实际细胞为 0.05 mm。放大倍率 = 20 ÷ 0.05 = ×400。
