? is the science of physics in laymans english please?

Question

please be specific no smartypants answers i may decide to enter this field of research to help all mankind be kind i am only 7 phase old and i have my mothers approval

Answer 1

what is physics, you mean? Physics is literally the study of the physical properties of the world, such as speed, light, sound, weight, materials, heat and electrical conductivity, and basically everything else. Physics is the basis of almost every other field of science.

Answer 2

The actual "language" of physics would be mathematics.

The use of words to describe physical objects is easy to grasp because you can see them, but in physics, much is theory and relatively (no pun intended) difficult to grasp let alone put into actual words a person unfamiliar with the concept would understand.

Stating E=mc2 is easy

Explaining what it means so that the layman understands......

Answer 3

Physics discoveries find applications throughout the other natural sciences as they concern the basic principles of the Universe. Some of the phenomena studied in physics, such as the conservation of energy, are common to all material systems. These are often referred to as laws of physics. Others, such as superconductivity, stem from these laws, but are not laws themselves, because they only appear in some systems. Physics is often said to be the "fundamental science" (chemistry is sometimes included), because each of the other weaker sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, material science, engineering, medicine etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics. For example, chemistry is the science of matter (such as atoms and molecules) and the chemical substances that they form in the bulk. The structure, reactivity, and properties of a chemical compound are determined by the properties of the underlying molecules, which can be described by areas of physics such as quantum mechanics (called in this case quantum chemistry), thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.

Physics is closely related to mathematics, which provides the logical framework in which physical laws can be precisely formulated and their predictions quantified. Physical definitions, models and theories are always expressed using mathematical relations. A key difference between physics and mathematics is that because physics is ultimately concerned with descriptions of the material world, it tests its theories by observations (called experiments), whereas mathematics is concerned with abstract logical patterns not limited by those observed in the real world (because the real world is limited in the number of dimensions and in many other ways it does not have to correspond to richer mathematical structures). The distinction, however, is not always clear-cut. There is a large area of research intermediate between physics and mathematics, known as mathematical physics.

Physics attempts to describe the natural world by the application of the scientific method. Natural philosophy, its counterpart, is the study of the changing world by philosophy which has been also called "physics" since classical times to at least up to its separation from philosophy as a positive science in the 19th century. Mixed questions, of which solutions can be attempted through the applications of both disciplines (e.g. the divisibility of the atom) can involve natural philosophy in physics the science and vice versa.

Answer 4

Physics studies the basic laws and operations of physical things (energy and matter in motion).

Answer 5

The study that helps u understand the universe and subatomic particles...
Study of the biggest things and smallest things....

Answer 6

physics is the study of energy and motion. Good luck :)

Answer 7

our existence is physics
unless our parents come into 'physical contact ' we will not be here. right!?!
