1. Exam Overview | 试卷概览
The Unit 2 paper is a 1-hour 30-minute written examination worth 80 marks. It counts as 50% of the total AS Further Mathematics qualification. The paper consists of two sections based on the two applied options you have studied – usually Mechanics and Statistics at AS level. Each section carries 40 marks. You are permitted to use a graphics calculator, but full written solutions are required for all questions.
第二单元试卷为闭卷笔试，时长1小时30分钟，满分80分，占AS进阶数学总成绩的50%。试卷包含两个部分，对应你所学的两门应用选项——通常在AS阶段为力学与统计。每个部分各占40分。考试允许使用图形计算器，但所有题目均需写出完整的解题过程。
The January 2021 paper was regarded as a fair test of the specification. It rewarded students who had mastered basic calculations and could apply standard techniques to unfamiliar contexts. The mechanics section emphasised clear free-body diagrams and consistent signs, while the statistics section focused on correct interpretation of hypothesis tests and probability distributions.
2021年1月的试卷整体上被认为是对教学大纲的公平考查。它奖励那些熟练掌握基本计算并能将标准技巧应用于陌生情境的考生。力学部分强调清晰的受力分析图和一致的符号约定，统计部分则侧重于假设检验和概率分布的正确解读。
2. Mechanics – Core Topics | 力学核心考点
In the Mechanics section of the paper, the following topics are routinely assessed:
- Kinematics in one and two dimensions – especially constant acceleration equations and projectile motion with horizontal and vertical components.
- 牛顿力学（一维和二维运动学）——特别是匀变速运动方程，以及涉及水平和竖直分量的抛体运动。
- Newton’s laws of motion – apply F = ma to single particles and connected particle systems, including pulleys.
- 牛顿运动定律——将F = ma应用于单个质点及连接体系统（包括滑轮）。
- Frictional forces and inclined planes – resolve forces parallel and perpendicular to the plane, and use the coefficient of friction.
- 摩擦力与斜面问题——沿斜面平行和垂直方向分解力，并利用摩擦系数。
- Work, energy and power – use the work-energy principle: kinetic energy = ½mv², gravitational potential energy = mgh, and power = Fv.
- 功、能与功率——应用功能原理：动能 = ½mv²，重力势能 = mgh，功率 = Fv。
In the January 2021 paper, many candidates struggled with arranging the correct signs when combining weight components and friction. A useful tip is to define the positive direction of motion clearly, and then write down the sum of forces in that direction before substituting into F = ma.
在2021年1月试卷中，许多考生在合并重力分量与摩擦力时难以确定正确的正负号。一个有用的技巧是：先明确取运动方向为正，然后沿该方向列出合力方程，再代入F = ma。
3. Statistics – Core Topics | 统计核心考点
The Statistics section typically covers the following areas:
- Discrete probability distributions – especially the geometric distribution and the negative binomial distribution. You should be confident with their probability functions, means and variances.
- 离散型概率分布——特别是几何分布与负二项分布。你需要熟练掌握其概率函数、均值与方差。
- Hypothesis testing – construct and interpret tests for binomial parameters, geometric parameters, and the correlation coefficient of a sample.
- 假设检验——构建并解释针对二项分布参数、几何分布参数以及样本相关系数的检验。
- Confidence intervals – for a population mean when the variance is known, using the standard normal distribution or the central limit theorem for large samples.
- 置信区间——在方差已知时，使用标准正态分布或大样本中心极限定理估计总体均值的置信区间。
- Correlation and regression – calculate Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient or Pearson’s product-moment coefficient and test its significance.
- 相关与回归——计算斯皮尔曼等级相关系数或皮尔逊积矩相关系数，并检验其显著性。
The January 2021 statistics questions rewarded candidates who carefully wrote down the null and alternative hypotheses, used the correct test statistic, and then made a conclusion in the context of the problem. It is essential to compare the p-value or critical value with the significance level and state whether the evidence is sufficient.
2021年1月的统计问题考查了考生是否认真写出原假设与备择假设、使用正确的检验统计量，并结合问题背景作出结论。关键点在于将p值或临界值与显著性水平进行比较，并说明证据是否充分。
4. Worked Example – Mechanics | 力学例题
Let us work through a typical mechanics question in the style of the January 2021 paper. A particle of mass 2 kg is projected up a plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is 0.2. Find the distance travelled by the particle before it first comes to rest. Take g = 9.8 m/s².
让我们解析一道类似2021年1月试卷的典型力学题。一个质量为2 kg的质点以10 m/s的初速度沿与水平方向成30°角的斜面上滑，质点与斜面之间的摩擦系数为0.2。求质点首次停下来之前经过的距离。取g = 9.8 m/s²。
Step 1: Draw a free-body diagram. The forces acting on the particle are its weight (mg) vertically downward, the normal reaction (R) perpendicular to the plane, and friction (F) acting parallel to the plane down the slope. Since the particle is moving up the plane, friction opposes the motion and acts down the plane.
第一步：画出受力分析图。质点受到竖直向下的重力(mg)、垂直于斜面的支持力(R)以及沿斜面向下的摩擦力(F)。因为质点向上运动，所以摩擦力阻碍运动，方向沿斜面向下。
Step 2: Resolve perpendicular to the plane. There is no acceleration in this direction, so R = mg cos30°.
第二步：沿垂直于斜面的方向分解力。该方向无加速度，所以R = mg cos30°。
Step 3: The frictional force is F = μR = 0.2 × mg cos30°.
第三步：摩擦力为F = μR = 0.2 × mg cos30°。
Step 4: Resolve parallel to the plane. The component of weight down the plane is mg sin30°. The total force opposing motion is:
第四步：沿平行斜面方向分解力。重力沿斜面向下的分量为mg sin30°。阻碍运动的总力为：
ma = mg sin30° + μmg cos30°
Substitute m = 2, g = 9.8, μ = 0.2.
代入m = 2，g = 9.8，μ = 0.2。
2a = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 + 0.2 × 2 × 9.8 × cos30°
2a = 9.8 + 3.394 = 13.194
a = 6.597 m/s² (down the plane)
Step 5: Use the constant acceleration equation v² = u² + 2as with v = 0, u = 10, a = −6.597 (taking the upward direction as positive).
第五步：利用匀变速运动方程v² = u² + 2as，其中v = 0，u = 10，a = −6.597（取向上方向为正）。
0 = 100 − 2 × 6.597 × s
s = 100 / 13.194 ≈ 7.58 m
The particle travels about 7.58 m up the plane before coming to rest.
质点上滑约7.58 m后停下来。
5. Worked Example – Statistics | 统计例题
Here is a typical statistics question from the January 2021 style. A market researcher claims that the proportion of customers who prefer a new brand of tea is 0.3. In a random sample of 10 customers, only 1 prefers the new brand. Test at the 5% significance level whether the proportion has decreased.
这是一道类似2021年1月试卷的典型统计题。一位市场研究员声称偏好新品牌茶叶的顾客比例为0.3。在随机抽取的10位顾客中，只有1位偏好该新品牌。在5%显著性水平下，检验该比例是否下降。
Step 1: Define the random variable X = number of customers in the sample who prefer the new brand. Then X ~ Binomial(10, p).
第一步：定义随机变量X = 样本中偏好新品牌的顾客数，则X服从二项分布(10, p)。
Step 2: State the hypotheses. H₀: p = 0.3. H₁: p < 0.3. This is a one-tailed test at the 5% level.
第二步：写出假设。H₀: p = 0.3。H₁: p < 0.3。这是5%水平下的单尾检验。
Step 3: Calculate the probability of obtaining 1 or fewer successes if H₀ is true:
第三步：在H₀成立时，计算出现成功次数为1次或更少的概率：
P(X ≤ 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)
Using the binomial probability formula:
利用二项分布概率公式：
P(X = 0) = (0.7)¹⁰ = 0.0282
P(X = 1) = 10 × 0.3 × (0.7)⁹ = 0.1211
P(X ≤ 1) = 0.0282 + 0.1211 = 0.1493
Step 4: Compare with the significance level. Since 0.1493 > 0.05, we do not reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of customers preferring the new brand has decreased.
第四步：与显著性水平比较。因为0.1493 > 0.05，所以我们不能拒绝H₀。没有足够证据表明偏好新品牌的顾客比例有所下降。
Note: In the actual exam, you must also state the conclusion clearly in the context of the question, not just “do not reject H₀”.
注意：实际考试中，必须结合问题背景清楚地下结论，而不是只说“不拒绝H₀”。
6. Common Mistakes | 常见错误
Analysis of the January 2021 mark scheme and candidate responses highlights several common errors. Avoiding these can significantly boost your grade.
对2021年1月评分标准和考生答卷的分析揭示了若干常见错误。避免这些错误能显著提高你的成绩。
- In mechanics, mixing up the direction of friction when the particle changes direction. Always specify the positive direction at the start.
- 在力学中，当质点运动方向改变时，混淆摩擦力的方向。务必在开始时明确正方向。
- Forgetting to include the component of weight when using Newton’s second law on an inclined plane.
- 在斜面上使用牛顿第二定律时，忘记加入重力的分量。
- In statistics, using the wrong tail for the hypothesis test. Read whether the question asks for “increased” or “decreased”.
- 在统计中，使用了错误的检验尾。要仔细阅读题目询问是“增加”还是“减少”。
- Not checking whether the normal/geometric distribution condition (e.g., independent trials) is satisfied before performing a test.
- 进行检验前未检查二项/几何分布的条件（如独立试验）是否满足。
- Using a one-tailed test when a two-tailed test is required, or vice versa. Look at the wording of H₁.
- 需要双尾检验时误用单尾检验，反之亦然。注意观看备择假设的措辞。
- Rounding intermediate values too early, leading to inaccurate final answers. Keep at least four significant figures inside the calculation.
- 过早对中间结果进行四舍五入，导致最终答案不准确。计算过程中至少保留四位有效数字。
