1. Calculating Speed from Data | 根据数据计算速度
Question: A cyclist rides 300 metres along a straight road in 25 seconds. Calculate the average speed of the cyclist.
题目：一名自行车手在笔直的道路上骑行300米，用时25秒。计算该车手的平均速度。
To find average speed, we use the equation that links distance, time and speed. Write down the formula first so you can substitute the numbers correctly.
为求平均速度，我们需要使用联系距离、时间和速度的公式。先把公式写下，这样就能正确代入数字。
average speed = total distance / total time
Identify the known values: distance = 300 m, time = 25 s. Substitute these into the formula and perform the division.
确定已知数值：距离=300 m，时间=25 s。将数值代入公式并做除法。
Speed = 300 m / 25 s = 12 m/s. Always include the unit metres per second (m/s) in your answer. This shows that the cyclist covers 12 metres every second on average.
速度 = 300 m / 25 s = 12 m/s。答案中务必带上单位米每秒（m/s）。这表明自行车手平均每秒移动12米。
2. Interpreting Distance–Time Graphs | 解读距离–时间图
Question: A distance–time graph shows a horizontal straight line for the first 10 seconds, then a steep straight line sloping upwards for the next 20 seconds. Describe the motion during each stage.
题目：某距离–时间图显示，前10秒为一段水平直线，随后20秒为一条向上倾斜的陡峭直线。请描述每个阶段的运动情况。
In a distance–time graph, a horizontal line tells us that distance is not changing — the object is stationary. The graph stays at the same distance value, so speed is zero.
在距离–时间图中，水平线表示距离没有发生变化——物体静止不动。图像保持在相同的距离值上，所以速度为零。
During the first 10 seconds, the cyclist was at rest, perhaps waiting at traffic lights. The steep straight line indicates constant speed. The steeper the line, the greater the speed because more distance is covered in each second.
在前10秒内，自行车手处于静止状态，可能在等红绿灯。陡峭的直线表示匀速运动。线越陡，速度越大，因为每秒通过的距离更多。
Thus, in the next 20 seconds, the object moved at a constant high speed. The gradient of a distance–time graph represents speed, so a straight sloping line means uniform motion.
因此，在后20秒，物体以较高速度匀速运动。距离–时间图的斜率代表速度，所以倾斜的直线意味着均匀的运动。
3. Series Circuit Behaviour | 串联电路的行为
Question: A circuit contains a battery and two identical filament bulbs connected in series. If one bulb blows (its filament breaks), explain what happens to the other bulb.
题目：某电路含有一个电池和两个相同的小灯珠，它们串联连接。如果其中一只灯珠烧毁（灯丝断裂），请解释另一只灯珠会发生什么。
In a series circuit, there is only one complete loop for electric current. All components share the same path. If any part of the loop is broken, current can no longer flow anywhere in the circuit.
在串联电路中，电流只有一条完整的回路。所有元件共用同一路径。如果回路中任何一处断开，电流便无法在电路任何地方流动。
When the filament in one bulb breaks, it creates an open circuit. The other bulb will go out immediately because there is no continuous path for charge to move. This is a key disadvantage of series connections for lighting.
当一只灯泡的灯丝断裂时，就形成了断路。另一只灯泡会立刻熄灭，因为电荷移动的连续路径已经不存在了。这是照明采用串联连接的一个主要缺点。
To check understanding, draw the circuit and mark an X where the break occurs. Trace the current path: you will see it is impossible for charge to bypass the broken bulb.
为了检验理解，可以画出电路并在断开处标记X。沿着电流路径走一遍：你会发现电荷不可能绕过那只烧毁的灯泡。
4. Electric Current Calculation | 电流计算题
Question: A charge of 48 coulombs flows through a resistor in 1 minute. Calculate the current in the circuit.
题目：48库仑的电荷在1分钟内流经一个电阻。计算电路中的电流。
Current is defined as the rate of flow of charge. The relevant formula is I = Q / t, where I is current in amperes (A), Q is charge in coulombs (C) and t is time in seconds (s).
电流定义为单位时间内流过的电荷量的多少。相关公式为 I = Q / t，其中I是电流（安培A），Q是电荷量（库仑C），t是时间（秒s）。
Convert the time into seconds because the standard unit for time in this equation is seconds. 1 minute = 60 s. Then substitute: Q = 48 C, t = 60 s.
将时间换算成秒，因为该公式中时间的标准单位是秒。1分钟 = 60 s。然后代入：Q = 48 C, t = 60 s。
I = 48 C / 60 s = 0.8 A
The current is 0.8 amperes. Always check the unit: coulombs per second gives amperes. If you forget to convert minutes to seconds, you would get 48 A, which is unrealistic for most simple circuits.
电流为0.8安培。务必检查单位：库仑每秒得到安培。如果你忘了将分钟转换为秒，就会得到48 A，对于大多数简单电路来说这并不现实。
5. Energy Transfers and Efficiency of a Lamp | 灯泡的能量转化与效率
Question: A desk lamp is rated at 20 W. It transfers 4 J of useful light energy every second. Calculate the efficiency of the lamp and state one way in which wasted energy is transferred.
题目：某台灯功率为20 W。它每秒转化出4 J有用的光能。计算这台灯的效率，并指出一种浪费能量的转化方式。
Power of 20 W means 20 joules of electrical energy are supplied to the lamp each second. Out of these 20 J, only 4 J become useful light energy. The rest is wasted, mostly as thermal energy (heat).
功率20 W意味着每秒提供给灯泡的电能为20焦耳。在这20 J中，只有4 J转化为有用的光能。其余被浪费，主要以热能（热）的形式散失。
Efficiency is the ratio of useful output energy to total input energy. Use the formula: efficiency = (useful energy output / total energy input) × 100%.
效率是指有用输出能量与总输入能量之比。使用公式：效率 = (有用输出能量 / 总输入能量) × 100%。
efficiency = (4 J / 20 J) × 100% = 20%
The lamp is only 20% efficient. The wasted energy is transferred by heating to the thermal energy store of the surroundings. In an exam, always mention that thermal energy is dissipated into the environment.
这台灯的效率仅为20%。被浪费的能量通过加热传递到了周围环境的热能储存中。考试时一定要提到热能会散逸到环境中。
6. Reflection of Light and Ray Diagrams | 光的反射与光线图
Question: State the law of reflection. Draw a fully labelled ray diagram showing a ray of light reflecting from a plane mirror, including the normal, incident ray, reflected ray, angle of incidence and angle of reflection.
题目：陈述光的反射定律。画出一个完整标注的光线图，展示一条光线从平面镜反射，包含法线、入射光线、反射光线、入射角和反射角。
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Both angles are measured from the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the mirror surface at the point of incidence.
反射定律指出，入射角等于反射角。两个角都从法线量起，法线是在入射点处垂直于镜面的一条假想线。
In your ray diagram, draw a straight horizontal line for the mirror and shade the back. Add a dashed normal line at 90° to the mirror. Draw an incident ray approaching the mirror, with an arrow towards the surface, and a reflected ray leaving the mirror, with an arrow away. Label the angle i between the incident ray and the normal, and angle r between the reflected ray and the normal.
在光线图中，画一条水平直线表示镜面并涂上阴影表示背面。加一条与镜面成90°的虚线表示法线。画一条带箭头指向镜面的入射光线，以及一条带箭头离开镜面的反射光线。标出入射光线与法线之间的入射角i，以及反射光线与法线之间的反射角r。
Always use a ruler and ensure the normal is clearly dashed. Mark the angles as equal with a small arc. If the question asks for a label, do not forget the names.
务必使用直尺，并确保法线用虚线清晰表示。用一个小弧标出角度相等。如果题目要求标注，不要遗漏各部分的名称。
7. Sound Waves in Different Media | 不同介质中的声波
Question: Sound travels faster in steel than in air. Explain why, using ideas about particles.
题目：声音在钢中的传播比在空气中快。请用粒子观点解释其原因。
Sound is a mechanical wave that needs particles to travel. It moves by causing particles to vibrate and pass on energy to neighbouring particles. The speed depends on how close the particles are and how strongly they are bonded.
声音是一种需要粒子才能传播的机械波。它通过使粒子振动并将能量传递给相邻粒子而传播。声速取决于粒子之间的距离以及它们结合的紧密程度。
In steel, particles are tightly packed in a regular lattice and are strongly bonded to each other. Vibrations are passed on almost instantly because the particles are so close. In air, gas particles are far apart and collide less frequently, so the sound energy takes longer to transfer.
在钢中，粒子紧密排列在规则的晶格中，相互间结合力强。由于粒子非常靠近，振动几乎瞬间就被传递出去。而在空气中，气体粒子相距很远，碰撞不那么频繁，因此声能传递需要更长时间。
Thus, the closer and more rigid the medium, the faster sound travels. This is why you can hear a train approaching through the railway track before you hear it through the air.
因此，介质粒子越密集、刚性越强，声音传播越快。这就是为什么你会先通过铁轨听到火车驶来，然后才通过空气听到。
8. Magnetic Poles and Interactions | 磁极及其相互作用
Question: A bar magnet is brought near a suspended bar magnet. Explain what will happen if a north pole is brought close to a south pole, and if two north poles are brought together.
题目：将一根条形磁铁靠近一根悬挂着的条形磁铁。解释当北极靠近南极时，以及两个北极相互靠近时，分别会发生什么。
Every magnet has two poles: north (N) and south (S). The fundamental rule of magnetism is that like poles repel each other, while unlike poles attract each other.
每个磁铁都有两个磁极：北极(N)和南极(S)。磁性的基本规律是：同名磁极相互排斥，异名磁极相互吸引。
If a north pole is brought near a south pole, the two magnets will attract. The suspended magnet will rotate and move towards the approaching magnet. This is because the magnetic fields interact in a way that pulls them together.
如果北极靠近南极，两块磁铁会相互吸引。悬挂磁铁会旋转并朝靠近的磁铁移动。这是因为它们的磁场相互作用，产生吸引力。
If two north poles are brought together, they will repel. The suspended magnet will swing away, and it feels a pushing force. This repulsion is evidence that magnetic fields store potential energy that gets converted into kinetic energy.
如果两个北极相互靠近，它们会排斥。悬挂磁铁会摆开，并感受到推力。这种斥力证明了磁场储存的势能会转化为动能。
9. Work Done Against Gravity | 抵抗重力做功
Question: A student lifts a 15 N weight vertically upwards by 1.5 m. Calculate the work done by the student on the weight.
题目：一名学生将一个15 N的重物竖直向上提升1.5 m。计算学生对重物做的功。
In physics, work done is defined as the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. When lifting, the force needed equals the weight of the object if it is lifted steadily.
物理学中，功的定义是施加的力乘以物体沿受力方向移动的距离。在提升重物时，若匀速提起，所需的力等于物体的重量。
Use the equation: W = F × d, where W is work done in joules (J), F is force in newtons (N) and d is distance in metres (m).
使用公式：W = F × d，其中W是功（焦耳J），F是力（牛顿N），d是距离（米m）。
W = 15 N × 1.5 m = 22.5 J
The student does 22.5 joules of work. Note that 1 joule is equal to 1 newton-metre. If the weight were lowered, the work done would be by gravity, but here we focus on the student lifting against gravity.
该学生做了22.5焦耳的功。注意，1焦耳等于1牛顿·米。如果重物被放下，就是重力做功，但这里我们关注的是学生克服重力提升所做的功。
10. Comparing Energy Resources: Fossil Fuels vs Wind | 比较能源：化石燃料与风能
Question: Describe one advantage and one disadvantage of using wind turbines to generate electricity compared with burning fossil fuels in a power station. Use scientific ideas in your answer.
题目：与化石燃料发电站相比，描述使用风力涡轮发电的一个优点和一个缺点。回答中需运用科学概念。
A clear advantage of wind turbines is that they use a renewable energy resource. Wind is constantly replenished by the Sun’s heating of the atmosphere, and turbines do not emit carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases during operation. This helps reduce climate change impacts.
风力涡轮的一个明显优点是使用可再生能源。风能通过太阳对大气的加热不断得到补充，而且涡轮在运行过程中不排放二氧化碳或其他温室气体。这有助于减缓气候变化的影响。
A disadvantage is that wind is variable — it does not always blow. Wind turbines only generate electricity when wind speed is within a certain range. This makes the output unreliable, and backup power stations (often fossil fuel) are still needed to meet demand when there is no wind.
一个缺点是风的不确定性——风不会一直吹。风力涡轮仅在风速处于特定范围内时才能发电。这使得输出不可靠，在没有风的时候仍然需要备用电站（通常为化石燃料）来满足需求。
Additionally, burning fossil fuels in conventional power stations provides a steady, controllable supply of electricity. However, fossil fuels are non-renewable and produce harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. This question tests your ability to evaluate both sides using energy and environmental concepts.
此外，传统电站燃烧化石燃料能提供稳定、可控的电力供应。然而，化石燃料是不可再生的，并会产生二氧化硫和二氧化碳等有害污染物。这道题考察的是你运用能量和环境概念进行两面评价的能力。
