1. Deformation of Solids | 固体形变
Hooke’s law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the applied force, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. The spring constant k is defined by F = kx. Beyond the elastic limit, plastic deformation occurs and the material does not return to its original shape.
胡克定律指出,在弹性限度内,弹簧的伸长量与施加的力成正比。弹簧常数 k 由 F = kx 定义。超过弹性限度后,材料发生塑性形变,无法恢复原状。
Stress σ is the force per unit cross-sectional area, σ = F/A. Strain ε is the fractional change in length, ε = ΔL/L0. The Young modulus E is the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain: E = σ/ε, valid within the linear elastic region. The unit of Young modulus is pascal (Pa).
应力 σ 是单位横截面积上的力,σ = F/A。应变 ε 是长度的相对变化量,ε = ΔL/L0。杨氏模量 E 是拉伸应力与拉伸应变之比:E = σ/ε,适用于线弹性区。杨氏模量的单位是帕斯卡(Pa)。
The elastic potential energy stored in a stretched wire or spring can be calculated as the area under the force–extension graph. For an ideal spring obeying Hooke’s law, Eelastic = ½ F x = ½ k x². Understanding stress–strain curves helps identify properties such as ductility, brittleness, and ultimate tensile strength.
储存在拉伸的金属丝或弹簧中的弹性势能等于力-伸长图下方的面积。对于遵守胡克定律的理想弹簧,弹性势能 Eelastic = ½ F x = ½ k x²。理解应力-应变曲线有助于辨别材料的延展性、脆性和抗拉强度等性质。
2. Thermal Physics | 热物理学
Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. The kelvin scale is an absolute scale; 0 K is absolute zero. To convert between Celsius and kelvin, use T(K) = θ(°C) + 273.15. Specific heat capacity c is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K: Q = mcΔθ.
温度衡量物质中粒子的平均动能。开尔文温标是绝对温标;0 K 为绝对零度。摄氏与开尔文的换算为 T(K) = θ(°C) + 273.15。比热容 c 是使 1 kg 物质温度升高 1 K 所需的能量:Q = mcΔθ。
Specific latent heat L is the energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of a substance without temperature change: Q = mL. The ideal gas laws relate pressure p, volume V, and temperature T. Boyle’s law gives pV = constant at constant T; Charles’ law gives V ∝ T at constant p; the pressure law gives p ∝ T at constant V. These combine into the ideal gas equation: pV = nRT, where n is the number of moles and R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹.
比潜热 L 是使 1 kg 物质在温度不变时改变状态所需的能量:Q = mL。理想气体定律关联压强 p、体积 V 和温度 T。玻意耳定律:恒温下 pV = 常数;查理定律:恒压下 V ∝ T;压力定律:恒容下 p ∝ T。这些定律综合为理想气体状态方程:pV = nRT,n 为摩尔数,R = 8.31 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹。
Kinetic theory assumes gas particles are identical, in random motion, with negligible intermolecular forces except during collisions. The mean kinetic energy of a gas molecule is ½ m〈c²〉= (3/2) kBT, where kB is the Boltzmann constant. The first law of thermodynamics states ΔU = Q + W, where ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is heat added to the system, and W is work done on the system. In an isothermal process ΔU = 0, so Q = -W.
分子运动论假设气体粒子全同、作无规则运动、除碰撞外分子间力可忽略。气体分子的平均平动动能为 ½ m〈c²〉= (3/2) kBT,kB 为玻尔兹曼常量。热力学第一定律:ΔU = Q + W,ΔU 为内能变化,Q 为系统吸收的热量,W 为外界对系统做的功。等温过程中 ΔU = 0,故 Q = -W。
3. Circular Motion | 圆周运动
An object moving in a circle at constant speed experiences a centripetal acceleration directed towards the centre. The angular velocity ω is the rate of change of angle: ω = Δθ/Δt, measured in rad s⁻¹. The linear speed v is related to angular velocity by v = ωr. The centripetal acceleration has magnitude a = v²/r = ω²r.
以恒定速率作圆周运动的物体具有指向圆心的向心加速度。角速度 ω 是角度的变化率:ω = Δθ/Δt,单位为 rad s⁻¹。线速率 v 与角速度的关系为 v = ωr。向心加速度的大小为 a = v²/r = ω²r。
The centripetal force needed to maintain circular motion is F = ma = mv²/r = mω²r. This force can be provided by tension, friction, gravity, or electromagnetic forces. For a car on a banked track, the horizontal component of the normal reaction contributes to centripetal force, allowing higher speeds without slipping.
维持圆周运动所需的向心力为 F = mv²/r = mω²r。该力可由张力、摩擦力、引力或电磁力提供。对于在倾斜弯道上行驶的汽车,路面支持力的水平分力提供一部分向心力,使得汽车在更高速度下不打滑。
In vertical circular motion, the speed varies if gravitational forces are involved, and the tension or reaction force changes with position. At the top of the circle, the required centripetal force must be at least equal to the weight if the object is to remain on the path. Understanding these limits is crucial for roller coaster loops and bucket swings.
在竖直面内的圆周运动中,如果重力参与,速度会发生变化,张力或支持力也随位置变化。在圆周的最高点,若物体要保持在轨道上,所需的向心力至少应等于重力。理解这些临界条件对过山车轨道和摆桶问题至关重要。
4. Simple Harmonic Motion | 简谐运动
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) occurs when the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to its displacement from equilibrium and always directed towards the equilibrium position: a = -ω²x. The solution to this differential equation is x = A cos(ωt) or x = A sin(ωt), where A is the amplitude and ω is the angular frequency.
当物体的加速度与相对平衡位置的位移成正比且始终指向平衡点时,物体作简谐运动(SHM):a = -ω²x。该微分方程的解为 x = A cos(ωt) 或 x = A sin(ωt),A 为振幅,ω 为角频率。
Velocity in SHM is given by v = ±ω√(A² – x²). The maximum speed occurs at equilibrium: vmax = ωA. The period T is independent of amplitude for an ideal simple harmonic oscillator: T = 2π/ω. For a mass–spring system, T = 2π√(m/k); for a simple pendulum with small amplitude, T = 2π√(L/g).
SHM 中的速度为 v = ±ω√(A² – x²)。最大速度出现在平衡位置:vmax = ωA。对于理想简谐振子,周期 T 与振幅无关:T = 2π/ω。弹簧–质量系统的周期为 T = 2π√(m/k);小角度单摆的周期为 T = 2π√(L/g)。
Energy in SHM continuously converts between kinetic and potential forms. Total energy Et = ½ mω²A². Damping removes energy from the system, reducing amplitude over time. Light damping leads to gradual decay; critical damping returns the system to equilibrium in the shortest time without oscillating; heavy damping gives a slower non-oscillatory return. Resonance occurs when the driving frequency matches the natural frequency, causing a dramatic increase in amplitude.
SHM 中能量在动能和势能之间持续转化。总能量 Et = ½ mω²A²。阻尼消耗系统能量,使振幅随时间减小。弱阻尼导致振幅逐渐衰减;临界阻尼使系统在最短时间内回到平衡位置且不振动;过阻尼下系统不发生振动但返回缓慢。当驱动频率等于固有频率时发生共振,振幅急剧增大。
5. Atomic and Nuclear Physics | 原子与核物理
Rutherford’s alpha-scattering experiment revealed that most of the atom’s mass and positive charge is concentrated in a tiny nucleus. Radioactive decay occurs when unstable nuclei emit alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons or positrons), or gamma rays (high-energy photons). The activity A of a radioactive sample is the number of decays per second, measured in becquerels (Bq).
卢瑟福的 α 散射实验揭示原子的绝大部分质量和正电荷集中在微小的原子核内。放射性衰变是指不稳定原子核放射出 α 粒子(氦核)、β 粒子(电子或正电子)或 γ 射线(高能光子)。放射性样品的活度 A 是每秒衰变次数,单位为贝克勒尔(Bq)。
The decay law is N = N0 e-λt, where λ is the decay constant. The half-life T½ = ln 2 / λ. Activity also follows A = λN. Mass–energy equivalence is given by Einstein’s equation E = mc², and the unified atomic mass unit u is equivalent to 931.5 MeV of energy.
衰变规律为 N = N0 e-λt,λ 为衰变常量。半衰期 T½ = ln 2 / λ。活度同样满足 A = λN。质能关系由爱因斯坦公式 E = mc² 给出,原子质量单位 u 相当于 931.5 MeV 的能量。
Binding energy is the energy required to separate a nucleus into its constituent protons and neutrons. The binding energy per nucleon peaks near iron, making fission of heavy nuclei and fusion of light nuclei energetically favourable. Nuclear fission releases energy and neutrons in a chain reaction; nuclear fusion powers stars by fusing light elements under extreme temperature and pressure.
结合能是将原子核分解为单个质子和中子所需的能量。每个核子的结合能在铁附近达到峰值,因此重核裂变和轻核聚变都能释放能量。核裂变通过链式反应释放能量和中子;核聚变在恒星内部依靠极端高温高压使轻元素融合,提供能源。
6. Gravitational Fields | 引力场
Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that the force between two point masses is F = G M m / r², where G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg⁻². Gravitational field strength g at a point is defined as the gravitational force per unit mass: g = F/m. For a uniform field (near Earth’s surface) g is constant; for a radial field, g = GM/r².
牛顿万有引力定律指出两点质量之间的引力为 F = G M m / r²,G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m² kg⁻²。引力场强度 g 定义为单位质量所受的引力:g = F/m。在均匀场(近地表面)中 g 为常数;在辐射状场中 g = GM/r²。
Gravitational potential V at a point is the work done per unit mass to bring a small test mass from infinity to that point: V = -GM/r. The change in potential energy is ΔEp = m ΔV. Escape velocity vesc is the minimum speed for an object to leave a planet’s gravitational field without further propulsion: vesc = √(2GM/r).
引力势 V 是将单位质量从无穷远移至该点所做的功:V = -GM/r。势能变化为 ΔEp = m ΔV。逃逸速度 vesc 是物体无后续推进下脱离行星引力场的最小速度:vesc = √(2GM/r)。
For a satellite in a circular orbit, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force: GMm/r² = mv²/r, leading to v = √(GM/r). Kepler’s third law relating period T and orbital radius r is T² ∝ r³. Geostationary satellites have a period of 24 hours and orbit over the equator.
对于圆轨道卫星,引力充当向心力:GMm/r² = mv²/r,由此推出 v = √(GM/r)。开普勒第三定律联系周期 T 与轨道半径 r:T² ∝ r³。地球同步卫星的周期为 24 小时,轨道位于赤道上空。
7. Electric Fields | 电场
Coulomb’s law describes the force between two point charges: F = k Q q / r², where k = 1/(4πε0). Electric field strength E is the force per unit positive charge: E = F/q. For a point charge, E = kQ/r². In a uniform electric field between two parallel plates, E = V/d, where V is the potential difference and d is the plate separation.
库仑定律描述两点电荷之间的作用力:F = k Q q / r²,k = 1/(4πε0)。电场强度 E 是单位正电荷受到的电场力:E = F/q。点电荷的电场强度为 E = kQ/r²。在两块平行板之间的匀强电场中,E = V/d,V 为电势差,d 为板间距。
Electric potential V at a distance r from a point charge is V = kQ/r. The work done in moving a charge q through a potential difference ΔV is W = qΔV. An electron accelerated through a potential difference V gains kinetic energy ½ mv² = e V.
距离点电荷 r 处的电势为 V = kQ/r。将电荷 q 移动通过电势差 ΔV 所做的功为 W = qΔV。电子在电势差 V 下加速获得的动能为 ½ mv² = e V。
The motion of charged particles in uniform electric fields follows parabolic trajectories, analogous to projectiles in a gravitational field, as the constant electric force provides uniform acceleration perpendicular to the initial velocity. This principle is used in cathode ray tubes and particle accelerators.
带电粒子在匀强电场中的运动轨迹为抛物线,类似于重力场中的抛体运动,因为恒定电场力在垂直于初速度方向上产生匀加速。这一原理应用于阴极射线管和粒子加速器。
8. Capacitors | 电容器
Capacitance C is defined as the charge stored per unit potential difference: C = Q/V, measured in farads (F). A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulator (dielectric). The energy stored in a charged capacitor can be expressed as W = ½ QV = ½ CV² = ½ Q²/C.
电容 C 定义为单位电势差下储存的电荷量:C = Q/V,单位为法拉(F)。电容器由被绝缘体(电介质)隔开的两块导体板组成。充电电容器储存的能量可表示为 W = ½ QV = ½ CV² = ½ Q²/C。
Charging and discharging a capacitor through a resistor follow exponential laws. For discharge, Q = Q0 e-t/RC, V = V0 e-t/RC, and I = I0 e-t/RC. The time constant τ = RC represents the time taken for the charge (or voltage) to fall to 1/e (about 37%) of its initial value. Larger τ means slower discharge.
电容器通过电阻的充放电遵循指数规律。放电时,Q = Q0 e-t/RC,V = V0 e-t/RC,I = I0 e-t/RC。时间常数 τ = RC 表示电荷(或电压)降至初始值的 1/e(约 37%)所需的时间。τ 越大,放电越慢。
Capacitors are used to smooth rectified AC, in timing circuits, camera flashes, and as energy storage devices. The exponential growth and decay curves are important for analysing transient responses in DC circuits.
电容器常用于平滑整流交流电、定时电路、闪光灯以及储能装置。指数上升和衰减曲线对分析直流电路中的暂态响应非常重要。
9. Magnetic Fields and Electromagnetic Induction | 磁场与电磁感应
Magnetic flux density B is a measure of the strength of a magnetic field. A current-carrying wire experiences a force in a magnetic field: F = B I L sinθ, where θ is the angle between the wire and the field. The direction of the force is given by Fleming’s left-hand rule. A charged particle moving with velocity v in a magnetic field experiences a force F = B q v sinθ, leading to circular motion when the velocity is perpendicular to the field.
磁通量密度 B 衡量磁场的强弱。载流导线在磁场中受力:F = B I L sinθ,θ 为导线与磁场方向的夹角。力的方向由弗莱明左手定则确定。以速度 v 运动的带电粒子在磁场中受力:F = B q v sinθ,当速度与磁场垂直时,粒子作圆周运动。
Magnetic flux Φ through a surface is defined as Φ = B A cosθ, where θ is the angle between the field lines and the normal to the surface. Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that the induced e.m.f. is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux linkage: ε = -N dΦ/dt. Lenz’s law gives the direction of induced current: it opposes the change in flux that caused it.
穿过某一曲面的磁通量定义为 Φ = B A cosθ,θ 为磁感线与曲面法线的夹角。法拉第电磁感应定律指出,感应电动势等于磁链变化率的负值:ε = -N dΦ/dt。楞次定律给出感应电流的方向:它总是阻碍引起感应电流的磁通量变化。
Transformers use alternating magnetic flux in an iron core to transfer energy between coils. For an ideal transformer, Vp/Vs = Np/Ns and Ip/Is = Ns/Np. Eddy currents can be reduced by laminating the core. These principles are fundamental to generators, motors, and power transmission.
变压器利用铁芯中的交变磁通量在线圈之间传输能量。对于理想变压器,Vp/Vs = Np/Ns,Ip/Is = Ns/Np。通过叠片铁芯可减小涡流。这些原理是发电机、电动机和电力传输的基础。
10. Particle Physics | 粒子物理
The Standard Model classifies all known elementary particles into quarks and leptons, along with gauge bosons that mediate forces. Hadrons are composite particles made of quarks: baryons consist of three quarks (e.g. proton = uud, neutron = udd), while mesons consist of a quark and an antiquark (e.g. pion). Leptons are fundamental particles that do not experience the strong interaction; they include the electron, muon, tau, and their associated neutrinos.
标准模型将所有已知基本粒子分为夸克和轻子,以及传递相互作用的规范玻色子。强子是夸克组成的复合粒子:重子由三个夸克构成(如质子 = uud,中子 = udd),介子由一个夸克和一个反夸克构成(如 π 介子)。轻子是不参与强相互作用的基本粒子,包括电子、μ 子、τ 子及其对应的中微子。
Conservation laws govern particle interactions: charge, baryon number, and lepton number must be conserved. Strangeness is conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions but can change in weak interactions. The weak interaction is responsible for beta decay, where a neutron converts into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino. Exchange particles include photons (electromagnetic force), W⁺, W⁻ and Z bosons (weak force), and gluons (strong force).
守恒定律支配粒子间的相互作用:电荷、重子数和轻子数必须守恒。奇异数在强相互作用和电磁相互作用中守恒,但在弱相互作用中可以改变。弱相互作用导致 β 衰变:中子转化为质子,放出电子和反中微子。传递相互作用的交换粒子包括光子(电磁力)、W⁺、W⁻ 和 Z
