Physics (from Greek)‚ i.e. "knowledge‚ science of nature"‚ from φύσις‚ physis‚ i.e. "nature"[1][2][3][4][5]) is a part of natural philosophy and a natural science that involves the study of matter[6] and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force.[7] More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[8][9][10] Physics is the field of science that studies the physical world. From the large (galaxies

Physics Formulas: Mechanics Mechanics is the oldest branch of physics. Mechanics deals with all kinds and complexities of motion. It includes various techniques‚ which can simplify the solution of a mechanical problem. Here are some of the often required physics formulas falling in mechanics domain. Motion in One Dimension The physics formulas for motion in one dimension (Also called Kinematical equations of motion) are as follows. (Here ’u’ is initial velocity‚ ’v’ is final velocity‚ ’a’ is

During an undercover investigation‚ Officer Cline witnessed Defendant #1 purchase a bag of what appeared to be marijuana and LSD. When Officer Cline approached the dealer (Defendant #2)‚ he was given a similar bag. Following the purchase‚ officers approached and arrested both defendants on narcotics violations. Forensic tests later revealed that the contents of the bag were nothing more than honey and dried leaf matter and rolling paper coated with lime extract. The defense attorneys for both defendants

Knowing how to describe motion is an important first step in understanding the underlying physics that governs changes in motion. We see changes in motion all the time‚ as we go to work or school‚ participate in sports or even wander around our homes. If we never changed our own motion‚ we would never make it out of bed in the morning. The study

wavelengths) of these radiations can tell us a lot about the molecule‚ atom‚ and nucleus under study. Since diffraction-grating spectrometers and other types of radiation spectrometers are widely used in all sciences you should be familiar with the basic physics of such device What does diffraction look like? When light diffracts off of the edge of an object‚ it creates a pattern of light referred to as a diffraction pattern. If a monochromatic light source‚ such as a laser‚ is used to observe diffraction

Because the work is directly proportional to the displacement given a constant force while power is indirectly proportional to work. Therefore we can conclude that power is also directly proportional
