alevel物理知识点总结

alevel物理知识点总结

alevel物理知识点总结IntroductionA-level Physics is a comprehensive course that covers a wide range of topics in physics, from classical mechanics and thermodynamics to quantum physics and astrophysics. It is a challenging subject that requires a sound understanding of mathematical concepts and scientific principles. In this summary, we will cover some of the key knowledge points in A-level Physics, including important theories, laws, and equations.Classical MechanicsClassical mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the forces that act on them. It is based on the principles of Newtonian mechanics, which were developed by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. The key concepts in classical mechanics include:- Newton's Laws of Motion: Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental principles that describe the behavior of objects in motion. The first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted on by an external force. The second law relates the force acting on an object to its mass and acceleration, and the third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.- Conservation of Energy: The principle of conservation of energy states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant over time. This includes both kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (energy due to an object's position).- Conservation of Momentum: The principle of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant, provided no external forces act on the system.ThermodynamicsThermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy. It is a fundamental concept in the study of physical systems and their behavior. The key concepts in thermodynamics include:- The First Law of Thermodynamics: The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the principle of conservation of energy, states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. This means that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.- The Second Law of Thermodynamics: The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system will always increase over time. This implies that processes occurring in nature are irreversible, and that there is a directionality to the flow of energy.- The Carnot Cycle: The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle that represents the most efficient possible heat engine, and serves as a benchmark for the maximum efficiency of real-world heat engines.ElectromagnetismElectromagnetism is the branch of physics that deals with the relationship between electricity and magnetism, and the behavior of charged particles. It is a fundamental concept in the study of electromagnetics. The key concepts in electromagnetism include:- Coulomb's Law: Coulomb's law describes the force between two point charges, and is given by the equation F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where F is the force, k is the electrostatic constant, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.- Ampere's Law: Ampere's law describes the relationship between an electric current and the magnetic field it generates. It is given by the equation ∮B * dl = μ0 * I, where B is the magnetic field, dl is an infinitesimal element of length, μ0 is the permeability of free space, and I is the electric current.Quantum PhysicsQuantum physics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. It is a highly complex and abstract field of study, and has led to many groundbreaking discoveries in physics. The key concepts in quantum physics include:- Schrödinger's Wave Equation: Schrödinger's wave equation describes the behavior of quantum particles by treating them as waves of probability. It is used to calculate the probability distribution of a particle's position and momentum.- The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of a particle with absolute certainty. There is an inherent uncertainty in the measurement of these quantities, which is given by the equation Δx * Δp ≥ h/4π, where Δx is the uncertainty in position, Δp is the uncertainty in momentum, and h is Planck's constant.AstrophysicsAstrophysics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of celestial objects and the universe as a whole. It involves the application of physical principles to understand the behavior of stars, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena. The key concepts in astrophysics include:- The Big Bang Theory: The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the origin of the universe. It states that the universe began as a singularity and has been expanding ever since, leading to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets.- The Hubble Law: The Hubble law describes the relationship between the distance to a galaxy and its recessional velocity, and is given by the equation v = H0 * d, where v is the recessional velocity, d is the distance, and H0 is the Hubble constant.ConclusionA-level Physics covers a wide range of topics and concepts, from classical mechanics and thermodynamics to quantum physics and astrophysics. It is a challenging subject that requires a deep understanding of mathematical principles and scientific theories. This summary has covered some of the key knowledge points in A-level Physics, and serves as a useful reference for students and enthusiasts of physics.。

比如同学们头疼的Newton's second law,看到题目不管会不会,直接把Free-body force diagrams画出来。

不会画咋办呢?题目里不是有原图吗,照抄就可以了。

所以,这一步最重要的,其实就是强迫自己理解题目的意思!第二步就是把题目中所有已知量写到解题步骤的前面。

在这里要提醒大家注意了,所有已知量啊,包括隐藏的,不隐藏的,统统地写成字母=数字和单位形式,比如:F=1.0 Nm=20 kg第三,在列出已知量之后,下面要做的就是带入公式!什么,你觉得这步最难?并没有,A-level考试和国内高考最大的区别是什么?老外给公式表啊!英国小伙伴不需要背公式的。

当你迷惑于用哪个公式的时候,请翻到考卷第一页,照着抄会不会啊!最后一步,那就是把已知量,未知量写到一起,等式左右在一起,求个解这道题不就出来了!一元一次方程或者二元一次方组,就是这些数学方程式不会算?如果真的不会算,那怎么办?嗯,这是数学问题……在掌握了这四步大法后,我们贡献出画图题的解题神技。

我们来做一道画图题,请先看一下题干:好的,现在题目问题来了:(a)和(b)其实是一个知识点。

就是判断力的方向。

我们在此应用了Fleming's left-hand rule,受力方向向下。

这里,很多同学分不清楚,Fleming'sleft-hand rule与Fleming's right-hand rule的区别,什么时候用左手,什么时候用右手。

Alevel physics 总结(A1)

Alevel physics 总结(A1)

MeasurementBase quantities and their units; mass (kg), length (m), time (s), current (A), temperature (K), amount of substance (mol): Derived units as products or quotients of the base units:Prefixes and their symbols to indicate decimal sub-multiples or multiples of both base and derived units:Estimates of physical quantities:When making an estimate, it is only reasonable to give the figure to 1 or at most 2 significant figures since an estimate is not very precise.Occasionally, students are asked to estimate the area under a graph. The usual method of counting squares within the enclosed area is used. (eg. Topic 3 (Dynamics), N94P2Q1c)Often, when making an estimate, a formula anda simple calculation may be involved.EXAMPLE 1:Estimate the average running speed of a typical 17-year-old‟s 2.4-km run.velocity = distance / time = 2400 / (12.5 x 60) = 3.2 ≈3 ms-1EXAMPLE 2:Which estimate is realistic?Distinction between systematic errors (including zero errors) and random errors and between precision and accuracy:Random error: is the type of error which causes readings to scatter about the true value.Systematic error: is the type of error which causes readings to deviate in one direction from the true value.Precision: refers to the degree of agreement (scatter, spread) of repeated measurements of the same quantity. {NB: regardless of whether or not they are correct.}Accuracy: refers to the degree of agreement between the result of a measurement and the true value of the quantity.Assess the uncertainty in a derived quantity by simple addition of actual, fractional or percentage uncertainties (a rigorous statistical treatment is not required).For a quantity x = (2.0 ± 0.1) mm,Actual/ Absolute uncertainty, Δ x = ± 0.1 mmFractional uncertainty, Δxx = 0.05100% = 5 % Percentage uncertainty, ΔxxIf p = (2x + y) / 3 or p = (2x - y) / 3 , Δp = (2Δx + Δy) / 3If r = 2xy3 or r = 2x / y3, Δr / r = Δx / x + 3Δy / yActual error must be recorded to only 1 significant figure, &The number of decimal places a calculated quantity should have is determined by its actual error.For eg, suppose g has been initially calculated to be 9.80645 ms-2& Δg has been initially calculated to be 0.04848 ms-2. The final value of Δg must be recorded as 0.05 ms-2 {1 sf }, and the appropriate recording of g is (9.81 ± 0.05) ms-2.Distinction between scalar and vector quantities:Representation of vector as two perpendicular components:In the diagram below, XY represents a flat kite of weight 4.0 N. At a certain instant, X Y is inclined at 30° to the horizontal and the wind exerts a steady force of 6.0 N at right angles to XY so that the kite flies freely.KinematicsDisplacement, speed, velocity and acceleration:Distance: Total length covered irrespective of the direction of motion.Displacement: Distance moved in a certain direction.Speed: Distance travelled per unit time.Velocity: is defined as the rate of change of displacement, or, displacement per unit time{NOT: displacement over time, nor, displacement per second, nor, rate of change of displacement per unit time}Acceleration: is defined as the rate of change of velocity.Using graphs to find displacement, velocity and acceleration: •The area under a velocity-time graph is the change in displacement.•The gradient of a displacement-time graph is the {instantaneous} velocity.•The gradient of a velocity-time graph is the acceleration.The 'SUVAT' Equations of MotionThe most important word for this chapter is SUVAT, which stands for: •S (displacement),•U (initial velocity),•V (final velocity),• A (acceleration) and•T (time)of a particle that is in motion.Below is a list of the equations you MUST memorise, even if they are in the formula book, memorise them anyway, to ensure you can implement them quickly.1. v = u +at derived from definition of acceleration: a = (v – u) / t2. s = ½ (u + v) t derived from the area under the v-t graph3. v2 = u2 + 2as derived from equations (1) and (2)4. s = ut + ½at2derived from equations (1) and (2)These equations apply only if the motion takes place along a straight line and the acceleration is constant; {hence, for eg., air resistance must be negligible.}Motion of bodies falling in a uniform gravitational field with air resistance:Consider a body moving in a uniform gravitational field under 2 different conditions:Without Air Resistance:Assuming negligible air resistance, whether the body is moving up, or at the highest point or moving down, the weight of the body, W, is the only force acting on it, causing it to experience a constant acceleration. Thus, the gradient of the v-t graph is constant throughout its rise and fall. The body is said to undergo free fall.With Air Resistance:If air resistance is NOT negligible and if it is projected upwards with the same initial velocity, as the body moves upwards, both air resistance and weight act downwards. Thus its speed will decrease at a rate greater than 9.81 ms-2 . This causes the time taken to reach its maximum height reached to be lower than in the case with no air resistance. The max height reached is also reduced.At the highest point, the body is momentarily at rest; air resistance becomes zero and hence the only force acting on it is the weight. The acceleration is thus 9.81 ms-2 at this point.As a body falls, air resistance opposes its weight. The downward acceleration is thus less than 9.81 ms-2. As air resistance increases with speed, it eventually equals its weight (but in opposite direction). From then there will be no resultant force acting on the body and it will fall with a constant speed, called the terminal velocity.Equations for the horizontal and vertical motion:Parabolic Motion: tan θ = v y / v xθ: direction of tangential velocity {NOT: tan θ = s y / s x }DynamicsNewton's laws of motion:Newton's First LawEvery body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless a net (external) force acts on it.Newton's Second LawThe rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body, and the momentum change takes place in the direction of the net force.Newton's Third LawWhen object X exerts a force on object Y, object Y exerts a force of the same type that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on object X.The two forces ALWAYS act on different objects and they form anaction-reaction pair.Linear momentum and its conservation:Mass: is a measure of the amount of matter in a body, & is the property of a body which resists change in motion.Weight: is the force of gravitational attraction (exerted by the Earth) on a body. Linear momentum: of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity ie p = m vImpulse of a force (I):is defined as the product of the force and the time Δt during which it actsie I = F x Δt {for force which is const over the duration Δt}For a variable force, the impulse I = Area under the F-t graph { ∫Fdt; may need to “count squares”}Impulse is equal in magnitude to the change in momentum of the body acted on by the force.Hence the change in momentum of the body is equal in mag to the area under a (net) force-time graph.{Incorrect to define impulse as change in momentum}Force: is defined as the rate of change of momentum, ie F = [ m (v - u) ] / t = ma or F = v dm / dtThe {one} Newton: is defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 kg by 1 m s-2.Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum: When objects of a system interact, their total momentum before and after interaction are equal if no net (external) force acts on the system.•The total momentum of an isolated system is constant•m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m1 v1 + m2 v2 if net F = 0 {for all collisions }NB: Total momentum DURING the interaction/collision is also conserved. (Perfectly) elastic collision: Both momentum & kinetic energy of the system are conserved.Inelastic collision: Only momentum is conserved, total kinetic energy is not conserved.Perfectly inelastic collision: Only momentum is conserved, and the particles stick together after collision. (i.e. move with the same velocity.)For all elastic collisions, u1– u2 = v2– v1ie. relative speed of approach = relative speed of separationor, ½ m1u12 + ½ m2u22 = ½ m1v12 + ½ m2v22In inelastic collisions, total energy is conserved but Kinetic Energy may be converted into other forms of energy such as sound and heat energy.ForcesHooke's Law:Within the limit of proportionality, the extension produced in a material is directly proportional to the force/load appliedF = kxForce constant k = force per unit extension (F/x)Elastic potential energy/strain energy = Area under the F-x graph {May need to “count the squares”}For a material that obeys Hooke‟s law,Elastic Potential Energy, E = ½ F x = ½ k x2Forces on Masses in Gravitational Fields:A region of space in which a mass experiences an (attractive) force due to the presence of another mass.Forces on Charge in Electric Fields:A region of space where a charge experiences an (attractive or repulsive) force due to the presence of another charge.Hydrostatic Pressure p = ρgh{or, pressure difference between 2 points separated by a vertical distance ofh }Upthrust: An upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or floating object; arises because of the difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of the object.Archimedes' Principle: Upthrust = weight of the fluid displaced by submerged object.ie Upthrust = Vol submerged x ρfluid x gFrictional Forces:•The contact force between two surfaces = (friction2 + normal reaction2)½•The component along the surface of the contact force is called friction •Friction between 2 surfaces always opposes relative motion {or attempted motion}, and•Its value varies up to a maximum value {called the static friction} Viscous Forces:• A force that opposes the motion of an object in a fluid•Only exists when there is (relative) motion•Magnitude of viscous force increases with the speed of the object Centre of Gravity of an object is defined as that pt through which the entire weight of the object may be considered to act.A couple is a pair of forces which tends to produce rotation only.Moment of a Force: The product of the force and the perpendicular distance of its line of action to the pivotTorque of a Couple: The produce of one of the forces of the couple and the perpendicular distance between the lines of action of the forces. (WARNING: NOT an action-reaction pair as they act on the same body.)Conditions for Equilibrium (of an extended object):1. The resultant force acting on it in any direction equals zero2. The resultant moment about any point is zeroIf a mass is acted upon by 3 forces only and remains in equilibrium, then1. The lines of action of the 3 forces must pass through a common point2. When a vector diagram of the three forces is drawn, the forces will forma closed triangle (vector triangle), with the 3 vectors pointing in thesame orientation around the triangle.Principle of Moments: For a body to be in equilibrium, the sum of all the anticlockwise moments about any point must be equal to the sum of all the clockwise moments about that same point.Work, Energy and PowerWork Done by a force is defined as the product of the force and displacement (of its point of application) in the direction of the forceW = F s cos θNegative work is said to be done by F if x or its compo. is anti-parallel to FIf a variable force F produces a displacement in the direction of F, the work done is determined from the area under F-x graph. {May need to find area by “counting the squares”. }By Principle of Conservation of Energy,Work Done on a system = KE gain + GPE gain + Work done against friction} Consider a rigid object of mass m that is initially at rest. To accelerate it uniformly to a speed v, a constant net force F is exerted on it, parallel to its motion over a displacement s.Since F is constant, acceleration is constant,Therefore, using the equation:v2 = u2 +2as,as = 12 (v2 - u2)Since kinetic energy is equal to the work done on the mass to bring it from rest to a speed v,The kinetic energy, E K = Work done by the force F= Fs= mas= ½ m (v2 - u2)Gravitational potential energy: this arises in a system of masses where there are attractive gravitational forces between them. The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy it possesses by virtue of its position in a gravitational field.Elastic potential energy: this arises in a system of atoms where there are either attractive or repulsive short-range inter-atomic forces between them. Electric potential energy: this arises in a system of charges where there are either attractive or repulsive electric forces between them.The potential energy, U, of a body in a force field {whether gravitational or electric field} is related to the force F it experiences by:F = - dU / dx.Consider an object of mass m being lifted vertically by a force F, without acceleration, from a certain height h1 to a height h2. Since the object moves up at a constant speed, F is equal to mg.The change in potential energy of the mass = Work done by the force F= F s= F h= m g hEfficiency: The ratio of (useful) output energy of a machine to the input energy.ie = Useful Output Energyx100% =Useful Output Powerx100% Input Energy Input PowerPower {instantaneous} is defined as the work done per unit time.P = Total Work Done=W Total Time tSince work done W = F x s,P = F x s= Fv t•for object moving at const speed: F = Total resistive force {equilibrium condition}•for object beginning to accelerate: F = Total resistive force + ma Thermal PhysicsInternal Energy: is the sum of the kinetic energy of the molecules due to its random motion & the potential energy of the molecules due to the intermolecular forces.Internal energy is determined by the values of the current state and is independent of how the state is arrived at. Thus if a system undergoes a series of changes from one state A to another state B, its change in internal energy is the same, regardless of which path {the changes in the p & V} it has taken to get from A to B.Since Kinetic Energy proportional to temp, and internal energy of the system = sum of its Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy, a rise in temperature will cause a rise in Kinetic Energy and thus an increase in internal energy.If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, there is no net flow of heat energy between them and they have the same temperature. {NB: this does not imply they must have the same internal energy as internal energy depends also on the number of molecules in the 2 bodies, which is unknown here}Thermodynamic (Kelvin) scale of temperature: theoretical scale that is independent of the properties of any particular substance.An absolute scale of temp is a temp scale which does not depend on the property of any particular substance (ie the thermodynamic scale)Absolute zero: Temperature at which all substances have a minimum internal energy {NOT: zero internal energy.}T/K = T/°C + 273.15, by definition of the Celsius scale.Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to produce unit temperature change {NOT: by 1 K} for unit mass {NOT: 1 kg} of a substance, without causing a change in state.c = Q / mΔTSpecific latent heat of vaporisation is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to change unit mass of a substance from liquid phase to gaseous phase without a change of temperature.Specific latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to change unit mass of a substance from solid phase to liquid phase without a change of temperatureL = Q / m {for both cases of vaporisation & melting}The specific latent heat of vaporisation is greater than the specific latent heat of fusion for a given substance because•During vaporisation, there is a greater increase in volume than in fusion,•Thus more work is done against atmospheric pressure during vaporisation,•The increase in vol also means the INCREASE IN THE (MOLECULAR) POTENTIAL ENERGY, & hence, internal energy, during vaporisationmore than that during melting,•Hence by 1st Law of Thermodynamics, heat supplied during vaporisation more than that during melting;•hence l v > l f{since Q = ml = ΔU - W}.Note:1. the use of comparative terms: greater, more, and>2. the increase in internal energy is due to an increase in the PE, NOT KEof molecules3. the system here is NOT to be considered as an ideal gas system Similarly, you need to explain why, when a liq is boiling, thermal energy is being supplied, and yet, the temp of the liq does not change.First Law of Thermodynamics:The increase in internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system.ΔU = W + Q ΔU: Increase in internal energy of the systemQ: Heat supplied to the systemW: work done on the system{Need to recall the sign convention for all 3 terms}Work is done by a gas when it expands; work is done on a gas when it is compressed.W = area under pressure - volume graph.For constant pressure {isobaric process}, Work done = pressure x ΔVolumeIsothermal process: a process where T = const {ΔU = 0 for ideal gas}ΔU for a cycle = 0 {since U ∝T, & ΔT = 0 for a cycle }Equation of state for an ideal gas:p V = n R T, where T is in Kelvin {NOT: °C}, n: no. of moles.p V = N k T, where N: no. of molecules, k:Boltzmann constIdeal Gas: a gas which obeys the ideal gas equation pV = nRT FOR ALL VALUES OF P, V & TAvogadro constant: defined as the number of atoms in 12g of carbon-12. It is thus the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of substance.For an ideal gas, internal energy U = Sum of the KE of the molecules only {since PE = 0 for ideal gas}U = N x½ m <c2> = N x (3/2)kT {for monatomic gas}•U depends on T and number of molecules N•U ∝T for a given number of moleculesAve KE of a molecule, ½ m <c2> ∝T { T in K: not °C }Wave MotionDisplacement (y): Position of an oscillating particle from its equilibrium position.Amplitude (y0 or A): The maximum magnitude of the displacement of an oscillating particle from its equilibrium position.Period (T): Time taken for a particle to undergo one complete cycle of oscillation.Frequency (f): Number of oscillations performed by a particle per unit time.Wavelength (λ): For a progressive wave, it is the distance between any two successive particles that are in phase, e.g. it is the distance between 2 consecutive crests or 2 troughs.Wave speed (v): The speed at which the waveform travels in the direction of the propagation of the wave.Wave front: A line or surface joining points which are at the same state of oscillation, i.e. in phase, e.g. a line joining crest to crest in a wave.Ray: The path taken by the wave. This is used to indicate the direction of wave propagation. Rays are always at right angles to the wave fronts (i.e. wave fronts are always perpendicular to the direction of propagation).From the definition of speed, Speed = Distance / TimeA wave travels a distance of one wavelength, λ, in a time interval of one period, T.The frequency, f, of a wave is equal to 1 / TTherefore, speed, v = λ / T = (1 / T)λ = fλv = fλExample 1:A wave travelling in the positive x direction is showed inthe figure. Find the amplitude, wavelength, period, andspeed of the wave if it has a frequency of 8.0 Hz.Amplitude (A) = 0.15 mWavelength (λ) = 0.40 mPeriod (T) = 1f = 18.0 ≈ 0.125 sSpeed (v) =fλ = 8.0 x 0.40 = 3.20 m s-1A wave which results in a net transfer of energy from oneplace to another is known as a progressive wave.Intensity {of a wave}: is defined as the rate of energy flow per unit time {power} per unit cross-sectional area perpendicular to the direction of wavepropagation.Intensity = Power / Area = Energy / (Time x Area)For a point source (which would emit spherical wavefronts),Intensity = (½mω2x o2) / (t x 4πr2) where x0: amplitude & r: distance from thepoint source.Therefore, I ∝x o2 / r2 (Pt Source)For all wave sources, I ∝(Amplitude)2Transverse wave:A wave in which the oscillations of the wave particles {NOT: movement} areperpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave.Longitudinal wave:A wave in which the oscillations of the wave particles are parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave.Polarisation is said to occur when oscillations are in one direction in a plane, {NOT just “in one direction”} normal to the direction of propagation.Example 2:。
