(A)velocity, speed速度，速率
(B)distance, displacement路程，位移
(C)displacement, distance位移，路程
(D)acceleration, force加速度，力
Answer:答案：(B)
Distance is a path length (scalar, sign-free); displacement is a vector with magnitude and direction. (A) reverses the order. (C) flips them. (D) lists two vectors.路程是路径长度（标量，无符号）；位移是有大小和方向的矢量。(A) 颠倒了顺序，(C) 将两者互换，(D) 列出的是两个矢量。
A particle's position is $x(t) = 3t^2 - 12t + 5$ (SI units). Its velocity at $t=2~\mathrm{s}$ is质点的位置为 $x(t) = 3t^2 - 12t + 5$（SI 单位）。其在 $t=2~\mathrm{s}$ 时的速度为
(A) $-12~\mathrm{m/s}$
(B) $0~\mathrm{m/s}$
(C) $6~\mathrm{m/s}$
(D) $12~\mathrm{m/s}$
Answer:答案：(B)
$$v(t) = \frac{dx}{dt} = 6t - 12$$
$$v(2) = 6(2) - 12 = 0~\mathrm{m/s}$$
The particle is momentarily at rest at $t=2~\mathrm{s}$ (a turning point of $x(t)$). Choice (A) is $v(0)$; (D) is $v(4)$.质点在 $t=2~\mathrm{s}$ 时瞬间静止（即 $x(t)$ 的转折点）。选项 (A) 是 $v(0)$，(D) 是 $v(4)$。
A velocity vs. time graph is described in Q4 of the practice set: $v$ is constant on $[0,2]~\mathrm{s}$, slopes down on $[2,4]~\mathrm{s}$, and is constant again on $[4,6]~\mathrm{s}$. During which interval is the particle's acceleration negative and nonzero?练习题 Q4 描述了一张速度-时间图：$v$ 在 $[0,2]~\mathrm{s}$ 内为常数，在 $[2,4]~\mathrm{s}$ 内下降，在 $[4,6]~\mathrm{s}$ 内再次为常数。在哪段时间区间内质点的加速度为负且不为零？
(A) $0 < t < 2~\mathrm{s}$
(B) $2 < t < 4~\mathrm{s}$
(C) $4 < t < 6~\mathrm{s}$
(D)nowhere on the graph图中任何地方均不满足
Answer:答案：(B)
Acceleration is the slope of the $v$-$t$ graph. The flat segments (A) and (C) have $a = 0$. Only the descending segment on $2 < t < 4$ has $a < 0$ and nonzero.加速度是 $v$-$t$ 图的斜率。平坦段 (A) 和 (C) 的 $a = 0$；只有 $2 < t < 4$ 的下降段满足 $a < 0$ 且不为零。
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to $20~\mathrm{m/s}$ over $5~\mathrm{s}$. The distance it travels in this interval is一辆汽车从静止出发，在 $5~\mathrm{s}$ 内匀加速至 $20~\mathrm{m/s}$。该过程中行驶的路程为
(A) $25~\mathrm{m}$
(B) $50~\mathrm{m}$
(C) $75~\mathrm{m}$
(D) $100~\mathrm{m}$
Answer:答案：(B)
Use the average-velocity shortcut for uniform acceleration:利用匀加速运动的平均速度简算：
A ball is dropped from rest from a height $H$ above level ground. Air resistance is negligible. Its speed just before impact is一只球从距水平地面高度 $H$ 处由静止释放，空气阻力不计。其落地前瞬间的速率为
(A) $\sqrt{gH}$
(B) $\sqrt{2gH}$
(C) $2gH$
(D) $gH$
Answer:答案：(B)
Apply $v^2 = v_0^2 + 2g\,\Delta y$ with $v_0 = 0$ and $\Delta y = H$:代入 $v^2 = v_0^2 + 2g\,\Delta y$，其中 $v_0 = 0$，$\Delta y = H$：
$$v^2 = 2gH \quad\Longrightarrow\quad v = \sqrt{2gH}$$
Choices (C) and (D) have wrong units (m²/s² and m²/s², not m/s).选项 (C) 和 (D) 的单位有误（m²/s²，而非 m/s）。
A particle has acceleration $a(t) = 6t~\mathrm{m/s^2}$ and starts from rest at $x=0$. Its position at $t=2~\mathrm{s}$ is一质点的加速度为 $a(t) = 6t~\mathrm{m/s^2}$，从 $x=0$ 处由静止开始运动。其在 $t=2~\mathrm{s}$ 时的位置为
(A) $4~\mathrm{m}$
(B) $8~\mathrm{m}$
(C) $12~\mathrm{m}$
(D) $24~\mathrm{m}$
Answer:答案：(B)
Integrate twice from rest at the origin:从原点由静止开始对加速度积分两次：
$$v(t) = \int_0^t 6\tau\,d\tau = 3t^2$$
$$x(t) = \int_0^t 3\tau^2\,d\tau = t^3$$
$$x(2) = 2^3 = 8~\mathrm{m}$$
Trap (D) is $a(2) \cdot t$, treating $a$ as constant.陷阱 (D) 将 $a$ 视为常数，错误地计算了 $a(2) \cdot t$。

(B) $5~\mathrm{m/s}$
(C) $7~\mathrm{m/s}$
(D) $\sqrt{7}~\mathrm{m/s}$
Answer:答案：(B)
Velocities add as vectors. The components are perpendicular (north and east), so the resultant speed is速度按矢量相加。两分量相互垂直（北向与东向），合速率为
Trap (C) adds magnitudes directly (only valid for parallel vectors); (A) subtracts them (only for anti-parallel).陷阱 (C) 直接相加大小（仅对平行矢量有效）；(A) 相减（仅对反向平行矢量有效）。
Q9MEDIUM1.5 Projectile Motion1.5 抛体运动Calculator
A ball is launched from ground level with initial speed $25~\mathrm{m/s}$ at $40^\circ$ above the horizontal. Take $g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}$. Its time of flight (return to launch height) is closest to一只球以 $25~\mathrm{m/s}$ 的初速度从地面以仰角 $40^\circ$ 抛出，取 $g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}$。其飞行时间（回到发射高度所需时间）最接近
A projectile is launched from ground level with speed $v_0$ at angle $\theta$. Neglect air resistance. Its horizontal range is maximized when $\theta$ equals一抛体以速度 $v_0$、仰角 $\theta$ 从地面发射，不计空气阻力。当 $\theta$ 等于多少时水平射程最大？
(A) $30^\circ$
(B) $45^\circ$
(C) $60^\circ$
(D) $90^\circ$
Answer:答案：(B)
Range $R = (v_0^2/g)\sin(2\theta)$ is maximized when $\sin(2\theta)=1$, i.e. $2\theta = 90^\circ$, so $\theta = 45^\circ$. The $30^\circ$ and $60^\circ$ pair give equal ranges below the maximum.射程 $R = (v_0^2/g)\sin(2\theta)$ 在 $\sin(2\theta)=1$ 时取最大值，即 $2\theta = 90^\circ$，故 $\theta = 45^\circ$。$30^\circ$ 和 $60^\circ$ 的射程相等，但均小于最大值。
Q11HARD1.2 Average vs. Instantaneous1.2 平均速度与瞬时速度No Calculator
A particle's position is $x(t)=t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t$ (SI). On the interval $0 \le t \le 4~\mathrm{s}$, the particle's average velocity equals its instantaneous velocity at $t=$质点的位置为 $x(t)=t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t$（SI 单位）。在区间 $0 \le t \le 4~\mathrm{s}$ 上，质点的平均速度等于其瞬时速度时，$t=$
Both roots lie in $[0,4]$. Trap (D) drops the factor of 2 from the discriminant.两根均在 $[0,4]$ 内。陷阱 (D) 在判别式中漏掉了因子 2。
Q12HARD1.3 Free Fall + Reaction1.3 自由落体与反应Calculator
A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a $40~\mathrm{m}$ cliff with initial speed $15~\mathrm{m/s}$. Take $g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}$ and ignore air resistance. The stone's speed when it strikes the ground at the cliff's base is closest to一块石头以 $15~\mathrm{m/s}$ 的初速度从 $40~\mathrm{m}$ 高的悬崖边缘竖直向上抛出，取 $g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}$，忽略空气阻力。石头落到崖底时的速率最接近
(A) $19~\mathrm{m/s}$
(B) $23~\mathrm{m/s}$
(C) $32~\mathrm{m/s}$
(D) $43~\mathrm{m/s}$
Answer:答案：(C)
The path detail (up then down) is irrelevant: $v^2 = v_0^2 + 2g\,|\Delta y|$ with $|\Delta y| = 40~\mathrm{m}$ downward overall.路径细节（先升后降）无关紧要，整体向下位移为 $|\Delta y| = 40~\mathrm{m}$：
$$v^2 = (15)^2 + 2(9.8)(40) = 225 + 784 = 1009$$
$$v = \sqrt{1009} \approx 31.8~\mathrm{m/s}$$
Trap (D) is $v_0 + \sqrt{2g\cdot 40}$, which double-counts the initial speed.陷阱 (D) 为 $v_0 + \sqrt{2g\cdot 40}$，重复计入了初速度。
Q13HARD1.5 2-D Motion1.5 二维运动No Calculator
A particle moves in the $xy$-plane with $\vec r(t) = (3t)\,\hat\imath + (4t - t^2)\,\hat\jmath$ (SI). Its speed at $t=1~\mathrm{s}$ is一质点在 $xy$ 平面内运动，其位置矢量为 $\vec r(t) = (3t)\,\hat\imath + (4t - t^2)\,\hat\jmath$（SI 单位）。其在 $t=1~\mathrm{s}$ 时的速率为
A particle's $a$ vs. $t$ graph is a triangle: $a$ rises linearly from $0$ at $t=0$ to $a_0$ at $t=T/2$, then falls linearly back to $0$ at $t=T$. If the particle starts from rest, its speed at $t=T$ is一质点的 $a$-$t$ 图像为三角形：加速度从 $t=0$ 时的 $0$ 线性增大至 $t=T/2$ 时的 $a_0$，再线性减小至 $t=T$ 时的 $0$。若质点从静止出发，其在 $t=T$ 时的速率为
(A) $\dfrac{a_0 T}{4}$
(B) $\dfrac{a_0 T}{2}$
(C) $a_0 T$
(D) $\dfrac{a_0 T^2}{2}$
Answer:答案：(B)
The change in velocity from rest equals the signed area under $a(t)$. For the triangle:从静止开始的速度变化量等于 $a(t)$ 曲线下的有向面积。对于该三角形：
$$\Delta v = \tfrac{1}{2}\,\text{base}\,\cdot\,\text{height} = \tfrac{1}{2}\,T\,a_0 = \frac{a_0 T}{2}$$
Trap (D) has units of position (area-of-$v$-curve), not speed.陷阱 (D) 的单位是位置（$v$ 曲线下面积），而非速度。

A train moves due east at $20~\mathrm{m/s}$ relative to the ground. A passenger walks toward the front of the train at $1.5~\mathrm{m/s}$ relative to the train. The passenger's velocity relative to the ground is一列火车相对于地面以 $20~\mathrm{m/s}$ 向正东方行驶。一位乘客相对于火车以 $1.5~\mathrm{m/s}$ 向车头方向行走。该乘客相对于地面的速度为
Trap (D) treats the vectors as perpendicular, but the passenger walks along the train, not across it.陷阱 (D) 将两矢量视为垂直，但乘客是沿火车方向行走，而非横跨。
Q16MEDIUM1.2 Sign Analysis1.2 符号分析No Calculator
A particle moves along the $x$-axis with velocity $v(t) > 0$ that is decreasing in time. Which statement best describes the motion?一质点沿 $x$ 轴运动，其速度 $v(t) > 0$ 且随时间减小。下列哪个说法最能描述该运动？
(A)The particle is moving in the $+x$ direction and speeding up.质点沿 $+x$ 方向运动且速率增大。
(B)The particle is moving in the $+x$ direction and slowing down.质点沿 $+x$ 方向运动且速率减小。
(C)The particle is moving in the $-x$ direction and speeding up.质点沿 $-x$ 方向运动且速率增大。
(D)The particle is at rest.质点静止。
Answer:答案：(B)
$v > 0$ fixes the direction ($+x$). "Decreasing in time" means $|v|$ is decreasing, the particle is slowing down. Speeding up requires $v$ and $a$ to share a sign; here they have opposite signs.$v > 0$ 确定了运动方向（$+x$）。"随时间减小"意味着 $|v|$ 在减小，即质点在减速。加速要求 $v$ 与 $a$ 同号，但此处二者符号相反。
From the same height above level ground, ball A is dropped from rest at the same instant ball B is launched horizontally. Air resistance is negligible. Which ball lands first?球 A 从同一高度由静止释放，同时球 B 从同一高度水平抛出，空气阻力不计。哪个球先落地？
(A)Ball A (dropped)球 A（自由落体）
(B)Ball B (horizontal)球 B（水平抛出）
(C)They land simultaneously.两球同时落地。
(D)Depends on ball B's horizontal speed.取决于球 B 的水平速度。
Answer:答案：(C)
Horizontal and vertical motions are independent. Both balls have the same initial height, the same $v_{y0}=0$, and the same vertical acceleration $g$; so $y(t) = y_0 - \tfrac{1}{2}gt^2$ is identical for both. They share a landing time regardless of ball B's horizontal speed.水平运动与竖直运动相互独立。两球初始高度相同，竖直初速度均为 $v_{y0}=0$，竖直加速度均为 $g$，故 $y(t) = y_0 - \tfrac{1}{2}gt^2$ 对两球完全相同。无论球 B 的水平速度如何，两球落地时间相同。
Q18HARD1.5 Projectile + Energy1.5 抛体与能量Calculator
A projectile is launched horizontally from a cliff of height $h$ with initial speed $v_0$. Air resistance is negligible. Its speed at the moment of impact is一抛体以初速度 $v_0$ 从高度为 $h$ 的悬崖顶端水平抛出，空气阻力不计。其落地瞬间的速率为
Each FRQ below restates the stem, then walks each part with the canonical AP-style structure: set up, execute, evaluate. Numbers use $g = 9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}$.以下每道自由解答题均重述题干，并按 AP 标准结构逐步展示：建立模型、执行计算、评估结果。数值计算取 $g = 9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}$。
A particle moves along a straight line with acceleration $a(t) = 6 - 2t~\mathrm{(m/s^2)}$. At $t=0$, the particle is at $x=0$ with velocity $v_0 = 0$.一质点沿直线运动，其加速度为 $a(t) = 6 - 2t~\mathrm{(m/s^2)}$。在 $t=0$ 时，质点位于 $x=0$，初速度 $v_0 = 0$。
At $t = 0$ this is the initial condition. At $t = 6~\mathrm{s}$ check the sign of $a(6) = 6 - 12 = -6 < 0$: $v$ is decreasing through zero, so the particle reverses direction at $t = 6~\mathrm{s}$.$t = 0$ 为初始条件。在 $t = 6~\mathrm{s}$ 时，检验 $a(6) = 6 - 12 = -6 < 0$：$v$ 过零点时递减，故质点在 $t = 6~\mathrm{s}$ 时改变运动方向。
(c)Maximum speed on $0 \le t \le 5~\mathrm{s}$.$0 \le t \le 5~\mathrm{s}$ 内的最大速率。Set $a(t) = 0$: $t = 3~\mathrm{s}$ (interior critical point in the interval).令 $a(t) = 0$：$t = 3~\mathrm{s}$（区间内的极值点）。
$$v(3) = 6(3) - 3^2 = 9~\mathrm{m/s}$$
Endpoints: $v(0) = 0$, $v(5) = 30 - 25 = 5~\mathrm{m/s}$. The maximum is $\boxed{9~\mathrm{m/s}~\text{at}~t = 3~\mathrm{s}}$.端点值：$v(0) = 0$，$v(5) = 30 - 25 = 5~\mathrm{m/s}$。最大值为 $\boxed{9~\mathrm{m/s}，发生于~t = 3~\mathrm{s}}$。
(d)Total distance on $0 \le t \le 5~\mathrm{s}$.$0 \le t \le 5~\mathrm{s}$ 内的总路程。$v(t) = t(6-t) \ge 0$ on $[0, 5]$ (the next zero is at $t = 6$), so no sign change inside the interval. Total distance equals $|x(5) - x(0)|$:$v(t) = t(6-t) \ge 0$ 在 $[0, 5]$ 上成立（下一个零点在 $t = 6$），区间内无符号变化。总路程等于 $|x(5) - x(0)|$：
Launched from the edge of a cliff of height $h = 30~\mathrm{m}$ with $v_0 = 22~\mathrm{m/s}$ at $\theta = 35^\circ$ above horizontal. Air resistance negligible.从高 $h = 30~\mathrm{m}$ 的悬崖边缘以 $v_0 = 22~\mathrm{m/s}$、仰角 $\theta = 35^\circ$ 发射，空气阻力不计。
(a)Components and kinematic equations (origin at launch, $+y$ up).分量与运动学方程（以发射点为原点，$+y$ 向上）。
River flows east at $u = 2.0~\mathrm{m/s}$; width $L = 80~\mathrm{m}$. Swimmer's speed relative to water is $v = 1.5~\mathrm{m/s}$. Swimmer enters at the south bank.河流以 $u = 2.0~\mathrm{m/s}$ 向东流动，河宽 $L = 80~\mathrm{m}$。游泳者相对于水的速度为 $v = 1.5~\mathrm{m/s}$，从南岸入水。
(a)Aiming due north.正北方向游进。The north (across-stream) velocity is the full $v = 1.5~\mathrm{m/s}$; the east drift is the current $u = 2.0~\mathrm{m/s}$.垂直河流方向（北）的速度为 $v = 1.5~\mathrm{m/s}$；东向漂移由水流 $u = 2.0~\mathrm{m/s}$ 决定。
(b)Can the swimmer reach a point directly across?游泳者能否到达正对岸的点？To cancel the current the swimmer would need an upstream velocity component $v\sin\theta = u$, i.e. $\sin\theta = u/v = 2/1.5 = 1.33$. Impossible, $\sin\theta \le 1$.要抵消水流，游泳者需要 $v\sin\theta = u$，即 $\sin\theta = u/v = 2/1.5 = 1.33$，不可能实现（$\sin\theta \le 1$）。Minimum-drift heading.最小漂移航向。Let $\theta$ be the angle west of north. Ground velocity: east component $u - v\sin\theta$; north component $v\cos\theta$. Time across is $L/(v\cos\theta)$, so设 $\theta$ 为偏西北的角度。相对地面速度：东分量 $u - v\sin\theta$，北分量 $v\cos\theta$。横渡时间为 $L/(v\cos\theta)$，故
Trade-off: the minimum-drift heading costs ~27 s more crossing time than aiming due north (53 s) but cuts drift by ~36 m.权衡：与正北方向（53 s）相比，最小漂移航向多用约 27 s，但漂移减少约 36 m。

(a)Consistency with constant $a$; numeric value.与匀加速运动的一致性；加速度数值。For constant $a$ from rest at the origin, $x = \tfrac{1}{2}at^2$, so $x$ should scale as $t^2$. The table's $x$ values equal $t^2$ exactly at every sample:从原点由静止开始的匀加速运动满足 $x = \tfrac{1}{2}at^2$，故 $x$ 应与 $t^2$ 成正比。表中每个采样点的 $x$ 值均精确等于 $t^2$：
$$\frac{x}{t^2} = 1.00~\mathrm{m/s^2}~\text{at every point}$$
Prediction from (a): $v(t) = at = (2)(0.5) = 1.0~\mathrm{m/s}$. The centered difference agrees exactly (no surprise, for a polynomial of degree 2 the centered difference is the analytic derivative).(a) 的预测值：$v(t) = at = (2)(0.5) = 1.0~\mathrm{m/s}$。中心差分与解析导数完全吻合（对于二次多项式这并不意外）。
(c)"Doubling the tilt doubles $a$", kinematics or dynamics?"倾角翻倍则加速度翻倍"，运动学还是动力学？Verdict: dynamics is required, and even then the claim is only approximate.结论：需要引入动力学，且即便如此该结论也只是近似成立。Constant-$a$ kinematics ($x = \tfrac{1}{2}at^2$, $v = at$) tells you only that $a$ is constant, it doesn't predict how $a$ varies with the experimental setup. To connect $a$ to the tilt angle you need Newton's second law: on a frictionless incline at angle $\alpha$,匀加速运动学（$x = \tfrac{1}{2}at^2$，$v = at$）只能说明 $a$ 是常数，但无法预测 $a$ 随实验条件如何变化。要将 $a$ 与倾角联系起来，需要牛顿第二定律：在倾角为 $\alpha$ 的无摩擦斜面上，
$$a = g\sin\alpha$$
Doubling $\alpha$ doubles $\sin\alpha$ only in the small-angle limit ($\sin\alpha \approx \alpha$). For larger tilts, $\sin(2\alpha) \ne 2\sin\alpha$, so the claim is generally false even after invoking dynamics.只有在小角近似（$\sin\alpha \approx \alpha$）下，$\alpha$ 翻倍才能使 $\sin\alpha$ 翻倍。对于较大的倾角，$\sin(2\alpha) \ne 2\sin\alpha$，即便引入动力学该结论也普遍不成立。
