1. Forces and Resultant Forces | 力与合力
A WJEC-style question: A student pushes a box along a rough floor with a force of 50 N to the right. The friction force acting on the box is 30 N to the left. What is the resultant force on the box? State both its magnitude and direction.
一道 WJEC 风格的题目：一名学生用 50 N 的力向右沿粗糙地面推一个箱子。箱子受到的摩擦力为 30 N 向左。箱子上的合力是多少？请说明合力的大小和方向。
For forces acting along the same line, you subtract the smaller force from the larger one. Here, 50 N − 30 N = 20 N. The direction is the same as the larger force, so the resultant force is 20 N to the right. If the resultant force were zero, the object would either stay at rest or move at constant speed.
对于沿同一直线作用的力，用较大的力减去较小的力。此处 50 N − 30 N = 20 N。方向与较大的力相同，因此合力为 20 N 向右。如果合力为零，物体将保持静止或做匀速直线运动。
2. Speed and Distance-Time Graphs | 速度与距离-时间图
A distance-time graph shows the journey of a cyclist. During the first 10 seconds, the cyclist travels 80 metres. Calculate the average speed during this part of the journey. On the same graph, a horizontal section appears between 15 s and 25 s. Explain what this tells you about the cyclist’s motion.
一张距离-时间图显示一名自行车运动员的行程。前 10 秒内，自行车运动员行进了 80 米。计算这一段的平均速度。在同一张图上，15 秒至 25 秒之间出现一段水平线。请解释这反映了运动员怎样的运动状态。
Speed = distance ÷ time. So speed = 80 m ÷ 10 s = 8 m/s. On a distance-time graph, a horizontal line means the distance stays the same as time increases, so the object is stationary. The gradient (steepness) of the line tells you the speed: a steeper line means a higher speed.
速度 = 距离 ÷ 时间。因此速度 = 80 m ÷ 10 s = 8 m/s。在距离-时间图中，水平线表示距离随时间不变，因此物体处于静止状态。线的斜率 (陡峭程度) 代表速度：线越陡，速度越大。
3. Pressure Calculations | 压强计算
A concrete block weighs 600 N and rests on a flat surface on a face with an area of 0.3 m². Calculate the pressure exerted on the surface. Give the unit of your answer.
一块混凝土重 600 N，放置在一个平面上，接触面的面积为 0.3 m²。计算它对表面产生的压强，并写明单位。
Pressure = force ÷ area. Substituting the values: P = 600 N ÷ 0.3 m² = 2000 N/m². The unit N/m² is the same as pascal (Pa), so the pressure is 2000 Pa. If the same block is turned onto a smaller face, the area decreases and the pressure becomes larger, because pressure and area are inversely proportional.
压强 = 力 ÷ 面积。代入数值：P = 600 N ÷ 0.3 m² = 2000 N/m²。单位 N/m² 等同于帕斯卡 (Pa)，所以压强为 2000 Pa。如果把同一块砖转动到更小的面，面积减小，压强会增大，因为压强和面积成反比。
4. Energy Stores and Transfers | 能量储存与转移
Describe the energy transfers that take place when a student eats a banana and then uses the energy to run a 100-metre race. Name the useful energy stores at each stage.
描述一名学生吃下一根香蕉然后用该能量跑 100 米比赛时所发生的能量转移。说出每个阶段有用的能量储存方式。
The banana stores chemical energy. When the student digests it, the chemical energy is transferred to the muscles and becomes kinetic energy as the student moves. Some energy is always transferred to the thermal store (heat) of the surroundings, which is wasted. The main energy pathway is: chemical energy store in food → kinetic store of the runner + thermal store of the body and air.
香蕉储存着化学能。当学生消化食物时，化学能转移至肌肉，并在运动时转变为动能。总有一部分能量转移到周围环境的热能储存中，这部分被浪费。主要的能量路径为：食物中的化学能储存 → 跑步者的动能储存 + 身体和空气的热能储存。
5. Sankey Diagrams and Efficiency | 桑基图与效率
An electric kettle uses 2000 J of electrical energy to heat water. Only 1600 J goes into increasing the temperature of the water. Draw a Sankey diagram to represent the energy transfers, and calculate the efficiency of the kettle.
一台电热水壶使用 2000 J 的电能加热水。其中只有 1600 J 用于提升水的温度。画出桑基图来表示能量转移，并计算水壶的效率。
In a Sankey diagram, the input arrow is drawn to scale, e.g., 2000 J wide. The useful output arrow (to water) is 1600 J wide, and the wasted output arrow (to surroundings as heat and sound) is 400 J wide. Efficiency = (useful output energy ÷ total input energy) × 100% = (1600 ÷ 2000) × 100% = 80%. This means 80% of the input energy is used usefully.
在桑基图中，输入箭头按比例绘制，例如宽度代表 2000 J。有用输出箭头 (加热水) 宽度为 1600 J，浪费输出箭头 (热量和声音散失到环境) 宽度为 400 J。效率 = (有用输出能量 ÷ 总输入能量) × 100% = (1600 ÷ 2000) × 100% = 80%。这意味着输入能量的 80% 被有效利用。
6. Series and Parallel Circuits | 串联与并联电路
A student builds a series circuit containing a 6 V battery and two identical lamps. The current flowing through the circuit is 0.4 A. Determine the voltage across each lamp. If one lamp blows, what happens to the other lamp? How would this be different in a parallel circuit?
一名学生搭建了一个串联电路，包含一个 6 V 电池和两个相同的灯泡。电路中的电流为 0.4 A。求每个灯泡两端的电压。如果一盏灯坏了，另一盏会怎样？如果换成并联电路，情况有何不同？
In a series circuit, the supply voltage is shared between components. Since the lamps are identical, each gets 6 V ÷ 2 = 3 V. The current is the same everywhere: 0.4 A through each lamp. If one lamp blows, the circuit is broken, so no current flows and the other lamp goes out. In a parallel circuit, each lamp gets the full 6 V, and if one lamp blows, the other stays on because there is still a complete loop for current.
在串联电路中，电源电压在各元件之间分配。由于灯泡相同，每个灯泡获得 6 V ÷ 2 = 3 V。各处电流相同：每个灯泡的电流均为 0.4 A。如果一盏灯坏了，电路断开，没有电流流过，另一盏灯也会熄灭。在并联电路中，每个灯泡都得到完整的 6 V，如果一盏灯坏了，另一盏灯仍然亮着，因为电流仍有一条完整的回路。
7. Ohm’s Law and Resistance | 欧姆定律与电阻
A resistor in a circuit has a potential difference of 4 V across it, and the current through it is 0.25 A. Calculate the resistance of the resistor. If the voltage is doubled to 8 V, what will the new current be, assuming the temperature stays constant?
电路中的一个电阻两端的电位差为 4 V，流过该电阻的电流为 0.25 A。计算该电阻的阻值。如果电压加倍至 8 V，假设温度保持不变，新的电流是多少？
Using Ohm’s Law: R = V ÷ I. R = 4 V ÷ 0.25 A = 16 Ω. The unit is ohms (Ω). For a fixed resistor at constant temperature, V and I are directly proportional. If V doubles to 8 V, I will also double: I = 0.25 A × 2 = 0.5 A. This can be checked: 8 V ÷ 16 Ω = 0.5 A.
使用欧姆定律：R = V ÷ I。R = 4 V ÷ 0.25 A = 16 Ω。单位是欧姆 (Ω)。对于温度不变的固定电阻，电压和电流成正比。如果电压加倍至 8 V，电流也将加倍：I = 0.25 A × 2 = 0.5 A。可以进行验证：8 V ÷ 16 Ω = 0.5 A。
8. Waves: Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency | 波的振幅、波长和频率
A transverse wave is shown on a diagram. The vertical distance from the rest position to a crest is 2 cm, and the distance between two successive crests is 6 cm. The frequency of the wave is 5 Hz. Calculate the wave speed. Give your answer in m/s.
图中展示了一列横波。从平衡位置到波峰的垂直距离为 2 cm，两个相邻波峰之间的距离为 6 cm。该波的频率为 5 Hz。计算波速，答案以 m/s 为单位。
First, convert to metres: amplitude = 2 cm = 0.02 m (not needed for speed), wavelength λ = 6 cm = 0.06 m. Wave speed v = f × λ = 5 Hz × 0.06 m = 0.3 m/s. Always check units: cm to m conversion is essential. The amplitude is the maximum displacement, useful for describing wave energy but not for speed.
首先换算成米：振幅 = 2 cm = 0.02 m (计算速度不需要)，波长 λ = 6 cm = 0.06 m。波速 v = f × λ = 5 Hz × 0.06 m = 0.3 m/s。务必检查单位：厘米到米的换算很关键。振幅是最大位移，用于描述波的能量，但与速度计算无关。
9. Reflection and Refraction | 反射与折射
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror with an angle of incidence of 30°. State the angle of reflection. The ray then travels from air into a glass block and refracts. Sketch what happens to the ray as it enters the glass. Explain why the ray bends.
一束光线以 30° 的入射角照射到平面镜上。说出反射角。随后光线从空气进入玻璃块发生折射。画出光线进入玻璃时的示意图，并解释光线为何弯曲。
The law of reflection states: angle of incidence = angle of reflection, so the reflected angle is also 30°. When light enters glass from air, it slows down and bends towards the normal line. This is because glass is optically denser than air. The ray changes direction at the boundary, but if it enters along the normal, no bending occurs. A rough sketch should show the incident ray bending towards the normal inside the glass.
反射定律指出：入射角 = 反射角，所以反射角也是 30°。当光线从空气进入玻璃时，速度减慢，并向法线弯曲。这是因为玻璃的光密度比空气大。光线在界面处改变方向，但如果沿法线入射，则不会弯曲。简图应显示入射光线在玻璃内部向法线偏折。
10. Gravity and Our Solar System | 重力与太阳系
Name the planets of our Solar System in order from the Sun outward. The Earth is kept in orbit around the Sun by a force. Name this force and explain why the Earth does not fall into the Sun.
按由近及远的顺序列出太阳系的行星。地球被一种力保持在绕太阳的轨道上。给出这种力的名称，并解释为什么地球不会坠入太阳。
The order is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. The force is gravity. The Earth is moving sideways at just the right speed; the Sun’s gravity pulls it inward, but its forward motion causes it to fall around the Sun rather than into it. This continuous ‘falling’ results in an almost circular orbit. The same force keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth.
顺序为：水星、金星、地球、火星、木星、土星、天王星、海王星。这种力是重力。地球以恰好合适的速度侧向运动；太阳的重力将其向内拉，但向前的运动导致它绕着太阳“坠落”而不会撞上太阳。这种持续的“坠落”形成了近似圆形的轨道。同样的力也使月球绕地球运行。
11. Key Skills for the Exam | 考试关键技能
When attempting a WJEC KS3 Physics unit test, always read the question carefully and underline command words such as ‘calculate’, ‘describe’, or ‘explain’. Show all your working for calculations; even if the final answer is wrong, you can earn marks for correct method. Pay close attention to units and conversions. In written answers, write in full sentences and use scientific terms precisely.
应对 WJEC KS3 物理单元测试时，务必仔细读题，并在指令词下面画线，例如“计算”、“描述”或“解释”。计算题要写出全部过程；即使最终答案错误，正确的方法也能得分。密切注意单位和换算。在文字作答中，用完整的句子书写，并准确使用科学术语。
Common mistakes include forgetting to convert centimetres to metres, mixing up series and parallel circuit rules, confusing reflection with refraction, and not including units. Practise past-paper questions to build speed, and always double-check your answers by considering whether the magnitude and direction make sense.
常见错误包括忘记把厘米换算成米、混淆串联与并联电路的规律、将反射与折射混为一谈，以及漏写单位。通过练习历年真题来提高速度，并在检查答案时始终考虑数值和方向是否合理。
