【PEP】High School Physics Compulsory First Volume

This course is based on the compulsory first-year high school physics textbook, covering the description of mechanical motion, the laws of uniformly accelerated linear motion, gravity, elastic force, and friction in interactions, as well as the relationship between motion and force (Newton's laws of motion). The course aims to cultivate students' core physics competencies and scientific thinking through experimental inquiry and logical reasoning.

Master motion laws, understand the nature of force, and embark on your journey into high school physics.

1. Understand the scientific spirit of physics and its social applications, recognizing the broad prospects for future development in physics.
2. Distinguish between instants and time intervals, and between distance and displacement, and be able to quantitatively describe displacement in linear motion using a coordinate system.
3. Master methods for measuring displacement and velocity using ticker timers, sensors, and satellite navigation systems.
4. Experimental skills: Able to use a ticker timer to collect data and analyze the motion patterns of a cart through v-t graphs.
5. Law derivation and application: Master the three core formulas of uniformly accelerated linear motion (velocity, displacement, and velocity-displacement relationship), and apply them flexibly to solve real-world problems in transportation and aerospace contexts.
6. Physical modeling: Understand that free fall is an idealized uniformly accelerated linear motion, and grasp the concept of gravitational acceleration.
7. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of forces: Master Hooke’s law F=kx and the formula for kinetic friction F_f = \mu F_N, and be able to experimentally investigate the relationship between elastic force and deformation, as well as the rules of force composition.
8. Understand the essence of interaction: Deeply comprehend Newton’s third law, and be able to distinguish between “action and reaction forces” and “balanced forces.”
9. Master vector operations and equilibrium conditions: Be able to use the parallelogram rule for force composition and resolution, and apply the condition for concurrent forces in equilibrium (F_{\text{net}}=0) to solve practical mechanics problems.
10. Understand Newton’s first law, explain inertial phenomena, and appreciate the scientific logic behind Galileo’s idealized experiments.
