Physics (from Greek φυσική (ἐπιστήμη)‚ i.e. "knowledge of nature"‚ from φύσις‚ physis‚ i.e. "nature"[1][2][3][4][5]) is the 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 one of the oldest academic disciplines‚ perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy

What is Physics? Physics is a field of science that shows the interaction between matter and energy. It shows physical processes that help us understand better how our universe behaves. Physics also use scientific method that formulates and tests hypothesis which are based on observations and comprehensions. What are the different fields under Physics? PHYSICS PHYSICS dealing with physical processes and their relations in the science of physical chemistry. dealing

Module 1 Physics: The Basic Science What this module is about The study of science has two branches namely‚ the life sciences and the physical sciences. The life sciences include biology‚ zoology and botany. The physical sciences branch into areas such as geology‚ astronomy‚ chemistry and physics. However‚ physics is more than part of physical sciences because it does not only deal with matter and energy but it also deals with the other basic concepts like motion‚ forces‚ heat‚ sound‚ light

Not only can objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed but they can also change their speed and/ or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Be able to use/produce graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs

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

Lab 4: Newton’s Second Law Lea Finocchi September 24‚ 2013 Partners: Amanda Okeefe‚ Sara Rojek‚ Kiran Kandola Objective: The objective of the first part of the experiment was to derive an expression‚ under conditions with negligible friction‚ for the acceleration of a cart on a level track when it is attached by a string to a hanging mass at the end of the track. With the value of acceleration and the mass of the weight divided by the mass of the weight plus the mass
