Ключевые идеи главы в понятной последовательности перед практикой.
Connect particle motion and interaction with pressure, temperature, and changes of state. The model should explain the observation.
Temperature is not the same as total thermal energy. Mass, material, and temperature change affect transferred energy.
Thermal energy transfers because of a temperature difference. Identify conduction, convection, or radiation and justify the dominant mechanism.
For “Resultant force”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Hooke's law”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Extension and force”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Friction and drag”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.
For “Pressure in solids”, start from an observation or model, define quantities and units where relevant, and separate the changed factor from the measured outcome. Support the conclusion with data and state the test's limitations.

Следуйте методу шаг за шагом и проверяйте обоснование каждого шага.
How much energy raises 0.5 kg of water by 30 °C? c = 4200 J/(kg·°C).
Q = 63000 J
Before calculating, explain the key idea from “Resultant force” and which conditions must be checked.
The answer should show not only which rule is used for “Resultant force”, but also why it is valid here.
Forces and pressure
Восемь заданий от базовых навыков до экзаменационного уровня. Сначала решите самостоятельно.
0.5 kg of water warms by 25 °C; c=4200 J/(kg·°C). Find Q.
Q=mcΔT.
Q=52500 J.
Structure a solution for “Hooke's law”: givens, SI units, law, substitution, and interpretation.
State the law before substituting numbers.
A full solution states symbols/units, selects a valid law for “Hooke's law”, shows substitution and calculation, and interprets the result.
Identify three uncertainty sources in measuring “Extension and force” and improve each one.
Consider instrument resolution, reaction time, repeats, and controls.
A full response links each specific error source to a targeted improvement and identifies random or systematic impact.
Plan a suitable graph for “Friction and drag” data and explain how to obtain a gradient or relationship.
Put the independent variable on x and dependent variable on y.
A full response labels axes/units, uses a suitable scale and best fit; gradient uses a large triangle and is interpreted with units.
Check whether a result for “Pressure in solids” is sensible using units, order of magnitude, and a limiting case.
A check should not merely repeat the same calculation.
A full check confirms dimensions/units, compares expected magnitude, and tests behaviour when one variable becomes very small or large.
Connect “Pressure in liquids” to energy conservation or a force/field model and justify the choice.
Define the system and interactions.
A full response defines the system, describes transfer or interaction, applies the appropriate model, and states losses or limitations.
Write a multi-step exam response about “Pressure in gases” with calculation and evaluation.
Separate givens, model, calculation, result, and evaluation.
A full response includes an appropriate diagram/model, laws, algebraic rearrangement, SI substitution, suitably precise result, and evaluation of assumptions.
Compare two methods for investigating “Floating and sinking in simple form” and select the more reliable using criteria.
Use accuracy, repeatability, control, and safety.
The choice must use at least three comparable criteria and acknowledge one trade-off or limitation.
