1. Mechanics and Sports Science | 力学与运动科学
Many sporting actions can be analysed using Newton’s laws, projectile motion, and energy conservation. For example, a long jumper’s take‑off involves a force impulse that changes momentum. The athlete converts kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy during flight. Understanding the vector nature of velocity and the influence of air resistance allows a deeper appreciation of performance optimisation. In WJEC Unit 1 and Unit 3, you studied momentum and energy; now you can apply them to biomechanics.
许多体育运动都可以用牛顿定律、抛体运动和能量守恒来分析。例如，跳远运动员的起跳涉及冲量改变动量，运动员在空中将动能转化为重力势能。理解速度的矢量性以及空气阻力的影响，有助于深入认知运动表现的优化。在 WJEC 第一单元和第三单元中，你已经学习了动量和能量，现在可以将它们应用到生物力学中。
A typical integrated question might ask: ‘A basketball player of mass 80 kg jumps vertically with an initial velocity of 4.5 m s⁻¹. Calculate the maximum height reached and the impulse delivered by the floor.’ You would use v² = u² + 2as (with a = –9.81 m s⁻²) and impulse = change in momentum. Additional parts might require you to estimate the average force if the contact time with the floor is 0.20 s, linking to material from Unit 1 and Unit 3.
典型的综合题可能会问：“一名质量为 80 kg 的篮球运动员以 4.5 m s⁻¹ 的初速度垂直起跳。计算达到的最大高度以及地面对运动员施加的冲量。”你需要使用 v² = u² + 2as （其中 a = –9.81 m s⁻²）以及冲量 = 动量变化。附加部分可能要求你估算如果与地面的接触时间为 0.20 s 时的平均作用力，这便联系了第一单元和第三单元的内容。
2. Electric Fields and Medical Diagnostics | 电场与医学诊断
Electrocardiography (ECG) relies on detecting the tiny electric fields generated by the heart’s depolarisation. In WJEC Unit 4, you study electric fields, potential, and capacitance. The heart can be modelled as a dipole, with equipotential surfaces extending to the skin. Electrodes placed on the body detect potential differences in the microvolt to millivolt range. Understanding how potential varies with distance from a dipole helps in interpreting ECG traces and diagnosing arrhythmias.
心电图 (ECG) 依赖于探测心脏去极化时产生的微弱电场。在 WJEC 第四单元中，你学习了电场、电势和电容。心脏可以模拟为一个电偶极子，其等势面延伸至皮肤表面。放置在身体上的电极能够检测到微伏至毫伏范围内的电势差。理解电势如何随距离偶极子的远近而变化，有助于解读心电图波形并诊断心律失常。
An integrated exercise could present a simplified dipole of charges +q and –q separated by 2.0 cm. You might calculate the electric field strength at a point on the perpendicular bisector, then discuss how the signal amplitude attenuates with distance. This blends electric fields with biological applications, a favourite exam style. Using E = kQ/r² and superposition principles reinforces the mathematical demands of the course.
一道综合题可能会给出一个简化的电偶极子，由相距 2.0 cm 的 +q 和 –q 电荷组成。你或许要计算垂直平分线上某点的电场强度，然后讨论信号幅度如何随距离衰减。这融合了电场与生物应用，是考试中常见的题型。运用 E = kQ/r² 和叠加原理，能进一步强化课程的数学要求。
3. Radioactivity and Archaeology | 放射性测定与考古学
Radiocarbon dating is a classic example of physics serving archaeology. WJEC Unit 3 covers radioactive decay, half‑life, and activity. The ratio of carbon‑14 to carbon‑12 in an organic sample decreases exponentially after death. By measuring the current activity and knowing the half‑life of ¹⁴C (5730 years), the age of the sample can be estimated. Corrections for atmospheric variations are often required, making this a rich context for synoptic questions that combine decay equations with data analysis.
放射性碳定年法是物理学服务于考古学的经典案例。WJEC 第三单元涵盖了放射性衰变、半衰期和活度。有机样品中碳‑14 与碳‑12 的比例在死亡后呈指数下降。通过测量当前的活度并已知 ¹⁴C 的半衰期（5730 年），即可估算样品的年代。通常需要针对大气变化进行校正，这为结合衰变方程与数据分析的综合题提供了丰富的背景。
A question might provide the activity of a charcoal sample from an ancient fireplace as 0.15 Bq per gram of carbon, while a modern sample gives 0.25 Bq per gram. You would use A = A₀ e⁻ᵅᵗ and the decay constant λ = ln2 / T₁/₂. A further part could ask you to discuss the assumptions made in radiocarbon dating, such as constant atmospheric ¹⁴C production, linking to environmental physics and Unit 4’s exponential change concepts.
一道题目可能给出某古代火塘中木炭样品每克碳的活度为 0.15 Bq，而现代样品为 0.25 Bq。你需要使用 A = A₀ e⁻ᵅᵗ 以及衰变常量 λ = ln2 / T₁/₂。后续部分可能要求你讨论放射性碳定年法所基于的假设，例如大气中 ¹⁴C 产率恒定，从而联系环境物理和第四单元中的指数变化概念。
4. Simple Harmonic Motion and Seismology | 简谐运动与地震学
Earthquakes generate seismic waves that can be modelled using simple harmonic motion (SHM) principles. S‑waves and surface waves often exhibit oscillatory patterns. In WJEC Unit 3, you explored SHM, resonance, and damping. Seismometers are essentially mass‑spring systems that resonate at specific frequencies. The amplitude and frequency content of ground motion recorded on a seismogram can reveal properties of the Earth’s interior and the earthquake source.
地震产生的弹性波可以用简谐运动 (SHM) 原理来模拟。横波与面波往往表现出振荡模式。在 WJEC 第三单元中，你学习了简谐运动、共振和阻尼。地震仪本质上是一个质量‑弹簧系统，在特定频率下产生共振。地震图上记录的地面运动幅度和频率成分可以揭示地球内部的结构以及震源的性质。
An exam question might describe a seismometer with a mass of 0.50 kg and a spring constant of 200 N m⁻¹. You could be asked to calculate its natural frequency (f = (1/2π)√(k/m)) and explain why it must be heavily damped to avoid resonance with certain seismic frequencies. This connects SHM, damping, and geophysics, encouraging you to synthesise knowledge from different parts of the specification.

5. Thermal Physics and Climate Modelling | 热物理与气候建模
Climate science draws heavily on thermal physics principles: radiation, conduction, convection, and latent heat. WJEC Unit 3 covers specific heat capacity, latent heat, and the ideal gas law. The Earth’s energy balance involves incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared radiation, influenced by greenhouse gases. Understanding the Stefan‑Boltzmann law (though not explicitly in WJEC, qualitative treatment is expected) and specific heat of oceans helps quantify global warming trends.
气候科学大量依赖热物理学原理：辐射、传导、对流和潜热。WJEC 第三单元涉及比热容、潜热和理想气体定律。地球的能量平衡涉及入射的太阳辐射和出射的红外辐射，并受温室气体影响。理解斯特藩‑玻尔兹曼定律（WJEC 可能不做定量要求，但需定性了解）以及海洋的比热，有助于量化全球变暖的趋势。
A cross‑disciplinary question might give the specific heat capacity of water as 4200 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹ and ask you to estimate the energy required to raise the temperature of the top 100 m of the ocean by 1°C, given the surface area of the ocean. You would then link this to the time needed to absorb additional CO₂‑induced forcing, drawing on power concepts from mechanics. This integrates thermal physics with environmental concerns.
一道跨学科题目可能给出水的比热容为 4200 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹，并要求你根据海洋表面积，估算使上层 100 米海水升温 1°C 所需的能量。接着，你需要将其与吸收额外 CO₂ 强迫所需的时间联系起来，运用力学中的功率概念。这便整合了热物理学与环境问题。
6. Waves and Music Technology | 波与音乐技术
Musical instruments provide a rich platform for wave physics: standing waves, harmonics, and resonance. A guitar string under tension produces a fundamental frequency determined by length, mass per unit length, and tension. WJEC Unit 3 explores progressive and stationary waves, including the equation f = (1/2L)√(T/μ) for a fixed‑ended string. Synthesisers and digital audio rely on sampling, which links to digital signals and the Nyquist frequency, touching on applied physics options.
乐器为波动物理提供了丰富的背景：驻波、谐波和共振。一根被拉紧的吉他弦产生基频，其频率取决于弦长、线密度和张紧力。WJEC 第三单元探讨了行波和驻波，包括两端固定弦的公式 f = (1/2L)√(T/μ)。合成器与数字音频依赖采样，这与数字信号和奈奎斯特频率相关联，触及应用物理的选修内容。
An integrated question might present a guitar string of length 0.64 m and linear density 5.0 × 10⁻³ kg m⁻¹, tuned to E (330 Hz). You would calculate the required tension, then discuss how overtones contribute to timbre. A further part could ask why a real guitar body amplifies certain frequencies, invoking resonance and forced oscillations from Unit 3. This synthesises wave physics with practical audio engineering.

7. Nuclear Physics and Energy Resources | 核物理与能源资源
Nuclear fission and fusion are central to both Unit 3 and energy options. The binding energy per nucleon curve explains why energy is released when heavy nuclei split or light nuclei fuse. In a nuclear power station, the thermal energy from fission heats a coolant, driving turbines. Calculations of mass defect and energy release using E = mc² are standard. Linking this to the environmental impact, efficiency, and safety forms a holistic STEM perspective.
核裂变与核聚变是第三单元和能源选修部分的核心内容。比结合能曲线解释了为何重核分裂或轻核聚合时会释放能量。在核电站中，裂变产生的热能加热冷却剂，推动汽轮机。运用 E = mc² 计算质量亏损与能量释放是标准内容。将其与环境影响、效率和安全性相联系，即可形成整体的 STEM 视角。
A synoptic question could provide the masses of ²³⁵U, ¹⁴¹Ba, ⁹²Kr, and neutrons, asking for the energy released per fission. Then, using the specific heat capacity of water, you might determine how much water can be turned into steam per fission event, linking to thermal physics. Comparisons with coal combustion highlight the energy density difference, encouraging critical evaluation of energy sources.
一道综合性题目可能给出 ²³⁵U、¹⁴¹Ba、⁹²Kr 和中子的质量，要求计算每次裂变释放的能量。然后，利用水的比热容，你可能需要确定每次裂变能使多少水变成蒸汽，这便联系到热物理学。与燃煤进行对比，突显能量密度的差异，从而鼓励对能源进行批判性评价。
8. Magnetic Fields and Transport Systems | 磁场与交通系统
Maglev trains use magnetic levitation to eliminate friction, achieving high speeds. In WJEC Unit 4, you study magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, and Lenz’s law. Superconducting magnets on the train induce currents in guideway coils, creating repulsive forces. The train’s speed sensor and feedback systems rely on Faraday’s law. This real‑world context brings together magnetic flux, induced emf, and motion, often assessed through graph interpretation and quantitative analysis.
磁悬浮列车利用磁悬浮消除摩擦，从而实现高速运行。在 WJEC 第四单元中，你学习了磁场、电磁感应和楞次定律。列车上的超导磁体在导轨线圈中产生感应电流，形成排斥力。列车的速度传感器和反馈系统依赖于法拉第电磁感应定律。这一真实场景将磁通量、感应电动势与运动结合起来，常通过图形解读和定量分析进行考查。
You might encounter a question where a magnet of flux density 0.50 T moves at 120 m s⁻¹ over a coil of 200 turns with an effective length of 0.30 m. Using Faraday’s law, ε = N B L v, you calculate the induced emf. Then, discussing how eddy currents create drag and how energy is conserved ties into broader principles of thermodynamics and mechanics. This is a quintessential integrated problem.

9. Capacitors and Biological Signalling | 电容器与生物信号
Nerve cells transmit signals through action potentials, which involve the charging and discharging of cell membranes acting as capacitors. The lipid bilayer separates ionic charges, storing electrical energy. WJEC Unit 4 covers capacitor charging/discharging, time constant τ = RC, and energy stored. By modelling a patch of membrane as a parallel‑plate capacitor, you can estimate its capacitance and the time constant for ion flow. This exemplifies how physics principles underpin neurobiology.
