Introduction to Physic 1.1 Understanding Physics • A phenomenon is an occurrence that can be perceived by our senses • In physics‚ we study natural phenomena‚ such as the eruption of volcano‚ rain fall‚ formation of rainbow and the properties of matter‚ such as length‚ temperature‚ volume • There are many fields of study in physics‚ including force‚ motion‚ heat‚ light‚ waves‚ electricity‚ electromagnetism‚ electronics and nuclear physics 1.2 Physical Quantities • We discover physics by learning

PHYSICS OF THE PAST One hundred years ago‚ in a poky apartment in Bern‚ Switzerland‚ Albert Einstein‚ then just a 26-year-old patent office clerk still working part-time towards his PhD‚ published five ground breaking scientific papers. Each of these papers‚ written during Einstein’s annus mirabilis ‚ has become a "classic" in the history of science: On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ‚ which discusses optical photons and photoelectric effects.

Physics can be related to sports and fitness on many different levels. When you lift weights‚ play sports or even buy athletic equipment you probably don’t know how much physics was really put into any of it. Weightlifter’s need to know which workout is better. Also the equipment athletes use relate to physics. Manufactures design equipment for athletes‚ which involve physics. The manufactures need to think about what will make the object better and what materials will cause the equipment

Physics of Sports A sport isn’t just about winning; it is also about strategy‚ how the game is played‚ and performance of the athletes. Physics is the last topic many people associate with sports. However‚ physics can be applied to every aspect of any sport‚ which is a study referred to as Sports Science. Components of this study include gravity‚ projectile motion‚ acceleration‚ force‚ vectors‚ etc. With new technology that physics in sports introduce‚ more possibilities of physical science can
