System Requirements Document for physics

1. Introduction

The "physics" project is an offline website designed to solve physics questions from specified chapters. The target audience is physics learners who need solutions to questions from nine specific chapters without requiring internet access.

2. System Overview

The system is an offline website that allows users to input physics questions from nine specified chapters and receive solutions. The website operates entirely offline, ensuring that users can access its functionalities without internet connectivity. The primary user is a Physics Learner who interacts with the system to input questions and view solutions.

2a. Product Interpretation and Delivery Boundary

The offline website is designed to solve physics questions from the following chapters: Electric Charges and Fields, Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance, Current Electricity, Moving Charges and Magnetism, Magnetism and Matter, Electromagnetic Induction, Alternating Current, Electromagnetic Waves, and Ray Optics. The system must function without internet access, and all necessary data and processing capabilities are bundled locally. The delivery is focused on providing a seamless offline experience for physics learners.

2b. Source Content Inventory

Not applicable as there is no explicit content_source directive.

2c. Page Content and Component Coverage

Landing

• Information/State: Introduction to the offline website's purpose and capabilities.

• Components: Welcome message, brief explanation of the supported chapters, navigation to Question Input.

Question Input

• Information/State: Input field for typing physics questions.
• Primary Actions: Submit question for solution processing.
• Supporting Actions: Clear input field.
• Components: Text input area, submit button, clear button, chapter selection (if applicable).

Solution

• Information/State: Display of the solution to the entered question.
• Primary Actions: Return to Question Input for new queries.
• Components: Solution display area, back button to Question Input.

3. Functional Requirements

• As a Physics Learner, I should be able to type a physics question from the specified chapters and receive a solution. (Provenance: explicit)
• As a Physics Learner, I should be able to use the website offline without requiring internet access. (Provenance: explicit)
• As a Physics Learner, I should be able to navigate from the Landing page to the Question Input page to start solving questions. (Provenance: required_inference)
• As a Physics Learner, I should be able to view the solution to my question on the Solution page. (Provenance: required_inference)

4. User Personas

Physics Learner

• Context: Uses the offline website to solve physics questions from specified chapters.
• Primary Goal: To obtain solutions to physics questions without internet access.
• Responsibilities: Entering questions, reviewing solutions.
• Interactions: Inputs questions on the Question Input page, views solutions on the Solution page.
• Success: Successfully receives accurate solutions to questions.

Solution Authoring Engine User

• Context: Engages with the system to input questions and review solutions as part of the learner workflow.
• Primary Goal: To ensure the system provides accurate solutions to entered questions.
• Responsibilities: Entering questions, verifying solutions.
• Interactions: Same as Physics Learner, as this role is not separate but part of the learner's workflow.

5. Core User Flows

5.1 Physics Learner Question Solving Flow

1. Start: User lands on the Landing page.
2. Action: User reads the introduction and navigates to the Question Input page.
3. Input: User types a physics question from the specified chapters.
4. Submit: User submits the question for processing.
5. Result: User is directed to the Solution page where the solution is displayed.
6. Continuation: User can return to the Question Input page to enter another question.

6. Visuals Colors and Theme

• Muse: Rasmus Andersson
• Palette:
  • Background: #F6F3EE
  • Surface: #FFFFFF
  • Text: #141517
  • Primary: #E69F00
  • Accent: #D55E00
  • Muted: #CCCCCC
• Typography:
  • Headings: Inter Tight — Light weights, large size contrast, tight tracking
  • Body: Space Grotesk
  • Scale: 1.25 modular, 48/32/24/18/16
• Shape Language: Precise, rounded blocks with hairline borders
• Layout: Clean, grid-based layout with clear segmentation for question input and solution display

7. Signature Design Concept

A clean, editorial hero with a large typographic headline focuses on the interface itself. The design uses a warm off-white background with a precise typographic composition, emphasizing clarity and readability. The interface features a prominent input area for questions, supported by a clean grid-based layout with large, readable type.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Interaction Model: Static
• Motion Tempo: Restrained
• Hero Dimensionality: Flat
• Landing Hero Motion Brief: The hero section features a large typographic headline with a focus on the input area. The transition from the Landing page to the Question Input page is fast and functional, enhancing clarity without decoration.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The website must operate offline and must not require internet access. (Provenance: explicit)
• The system should provide fast and accurate solutions to physics questions from the specified chapters. (Provenance: required_inference)

10. Tech Stack

• Frontend: React
• Backend: Python/FastAPI (for local processing)
• Storage: Local storage for offline capability
• Deployment: Docker/docker-compose for local environment setup

11. Assumptions and Constraints

• The system is limited to solving questions from the specified nine chapters.
• The website must function entirely offline, with all necessary data and processing capabilities bundled locally.

12. Glossary

• Physics Learner: The primary user of the system who inputs questions and reviews solutions.
• Solution Authoring Engine User: A role within the Physics Learner persona responsible for entering questions and verifying solutions.
• Offline Website: A website that operates without requiring internet access, with all functionalities available locally.
