what is physics?

Answer 1

Formerly called natural philosophy, physics is concerned with those aspects of nature which can be understood in a fundamental way in terms of elementary principles and laws. In the course of time, various specialized sciences broke away from physics to form autonomous fields of investigation. In this process physics retained its original aim of understanding the structure of the natural world and explaining natural phenomena.

The most basic parts of physics are mechanics and field theory. Mechanics is concerned with the motion of particles or bodies under the action of given forces. The physics of fields is concerned with the origin, nature, and properties of gravitational, electromagnetic, nuclear, and other force fields. Taken together, mechanics and field theory constitute the most fundamental approach to an understanding of natural phenomena which science offers. The ultimate aim is to understand all natural phenomena in these terms.

Answer 2

Physics (from the Greek, φύσις (phúsis), "nature" and φυσικῆ (phusiké), ("knowledge of nature") is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the fundamental laws which govern matter, energy, space, and time. Physics deals with the elementary constituents of the universe and their interactions, as well as the analysis of systems best understood in terms of these fundamental principles. Because physics treats the core workings of the universe, including the quantum mechanical details which underpin all atomic interactions, it may be thought of as the foundational science, upon which stands the "central science" of chemistry, and the earth sciences, biological sciences, and social sciences.

Answer 3

Physics is the most fundamental natural science, concerned with physical quantities and the law which connect them.

The physical quantities are the properties which characterize the model that physicists make for a certain natural phenomenon. The physical laws are mathematical relations between the physical quantities.

Answer 4

The basis of everything in God's creation is physics. There is no science and technology without physics. In fact when we want to investigate a phenomena we ask the question. What is the physics of it? That is how much important physics is. One is fortunate who has an opportunity to study physics. You can appreciate everything around you so much better if you know the "physics of it"! Be it a television,telephone,room heater, PC, switch board, briefcase whatever!

Answer 5

Physics- major science, dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces.

Answer 6

Physics is the science of matter and energy and their interactions .
