1. Kinematics | 运动学
Position, velocity, and acceleration are related by derivatives: v = dx/dt, a = dv/dt. For constant acceleration, the four kinematic equations describe motion in one dimension.
位置、速度和加速度通过导数联系:v = dx/dt,a = dv/dt。对于匀加速度,四个运动学方程描述一维运动。
v = v₀ + at x = x₀ + v₀t + ½at² v² = v₀² + 2aΔx x = x₀ + ½(v₀ + v)t
Projectile motion is treated as independent horizontal and vertical components; horizontal velocity is constant, vertical acceleration is -g.
抛体运动分解为独立的水平和竖直分量;水平速度恒定,竖直加速度为 -g。
Angular kinematics mirrors linear kinematics with θ, ω, α replacing x, v, a: ω = dθ/dt, α = dω/dt, and analogous equations for constant α.
角运动学与线运动学对应,用 θ、ω、α 代替 x、v、a: ω = dθ/dt, α = dω/dt,且匀角加速度下有类似方程。
2. Newton’s Laws & Applications | 牛顿定律及其应用
Newton’s Second Law in its differential form: F_net = dp/dt = ma (for constant mass). Free-body diagrams are essential for identifying forces.
牛顿第二定律的微分形式: F_net = dp/dt = ma(质量恒定)。受力分析图对识别各力至关重要。
Common forces: gravity (F_g = mg), normal force, tension, friction (static f_s ≤ μ_s N, kinetic f_k = μ_k N), and spring force (Hooke’s law: F_s = -kx).
常见力:重力 (F_g = mg)、法向力、张力、摩擦力(静摩擦 f_s ≤ μ_s N,动摩擦 f_k = μ_k N)和弹簧力(胡克定律:F_s = -kx)。
Uniform circular motion requires a centripetal acceleration a_c = v²/r, directed toward the center, provided by net radial force F_net = mv²/r.
匀速圆周运动需要向心加速度 a_c = v²/r,指向圆心,由径向合力提供 F_net = mv²/r。
Resistive forces: drag force often proportional to v or v²; terminal velocity occurs when drag equals weight.
阻力:阻力常正比于 v 或 v²;当阻力等于重力时达到终极速度。
3. Work, Energy & Power | 功、能量与功率
Work done by a force: W = ∫ F · dr. For a constant force, W = Fd cosθ. The work-energy theorem: W_net = ΔK = ½mv² – ½mv₀².
力做的功:W = ∫ F · dr。恒力做功 W = Fd cosθ。功能定理:W_net = ΔK = ½mv² – ½mv₀²。
Conservative forces (gravity, spring, electrostatic) have associated potential energy: U_g = mgy, U_s = ½kx². The negative gradient gives force: F = -dU/dx.
保守力(重力、弹力、静电力)对应势能:U_g = mgy,U_s = ½kx²。势能负梯度等于力:F = -dU/dx。
Mechanical energy conservation: E = K + U = constant if only conservative forces do work. Power is the rate of doing work: P = dW/dt = F·v.
机械能守恒:若仅保守力做功,E = K + U 恒定。功率是做功速率:P = dW/dt = F·v。
4. Linear Momentum & Collisions | 线动量与碰撞
Momentum p = mv. Impulse J = ∫ F dt = Δp. Momentum conservation: if net external force is zero, total momentum of a system is constant.
动量 p = mv。冲量 J = ∫ F dt = Δp。动量守恒:若合外力为零,系统总动量守恒。
Elastic collisions conserve kinetic energy and momentum; in one dimension for equal masses, velocities are exchanged. Inelastic collisions conserve momentum only, with maximum loss in perfectly inelastic collisions where objects stick together.
弹性碰撞动能和动量均守恒;一维等质量碰撞交换速度。非弹性碰撞仅动量守恒,完全非弹性碰撞中物体粘合,动能损失最大。
The center of mass position: r_cm = (Σ m_i r_i)/M. Its velocity and acceleration relate to total momentum and net external force: F_net_ext = M a_cm.

Angular momentum L = r × p = Iω. For a rigid body, Στ_ext = dL/dt. Conservation of angular momentum: if net external torque is zero, L is constant.
角动量 L = r × p = Iω。刚体满足 Στ_ext = dL/dt。角动量守恒:若合外力矩为零,L 恒定。
