is physics and physical science the same thing?

Answer 1

Physics is about chemicals and stuff, physical is abour strength and energy and human endurance..

Answer 2

Physics is the study of forces.

Physical science briefly covers most sciences, but does not go in depth.

Answer 3

Physical science should come before you study physics. Physical science deals with the scientific aspects of non-living things. This would include motion, chemistry, energy, etc. It is the broad, introductory course before chemistry and physics. Physics is more specific than physical science since it deals with motion, how matter behaves, gravity, etc.

Answer 4

Physical science, taught in middle school , is an introduction to physics and chemistry. It is said to be the study of matter and energy.
Physics taught in high school is the study of energy and its effects on matter. Light, Sound, Motion, Electricity, Nuclear Energy, mechanics,forces and work,waves,heat,

There is a college class in physical science, it is for nonscience majors.

There are majors in any of the parts of physics in college.

Answer 5

No. Physics is a type of physical science, which also includes chemistry, geology, and i think astronomy.

Answer 6

nooo pysics is a subject that is veyr hard and physical science is a broad science that includes geology and chemistry and is usually taught in middle school...its like a general science excluding bio

Answer 7

No. Physics is a branch of or one of the physical sciences. The physical sciences all deal with materials or non-living things, in contrast to the biological sciences which ldeal with living things.

The most common examples of physical sciences are physics, chemistry, and geology. All of them deal with the properties of materials or the forces that act upon them.

Each of these have sub-disciplines. Physics, for example, includes statics, mechanics, dynamics, quantum mechanics, electronics, particle physics, statistical mechanics, etc.

And there is lots of overlap amongst the physical sciences. Quantum physics and quantum chemistry both study materials at the atomic level, but usually with different goals in mind. The chemist wants to know why materials bond they way they do and react they way the do. The quantum physicist ios more interested in the elementary particles that make up the atoms.

Biological sciences include biology, botonay, zoology, physiology, and many others.

Answer 8

Physical science is sort of an introduction to all the physical sciences. By "physical" do not confuse this with a person's "physical" body? "Life" sciences [biology, anatomy, etc]are different from "physical" sciences. A typical physical science class will hit on numerous diciplines such as chemistry, geology, astronomy, physics, etc. But, it will not get too in depth in any one topic. the transistion class from the physical sciences to the life science is a mini-h*ll called "organic chemistry". You can have your annoyingly complex, headache causing "life" sciences. I'll stick to the simple physical sciences anyday.

Answer 9

No. Physics is when you learn or I think what goes on in your body. Physical is when your running, jumping, all that stuff.

Answer 10

no not the same.. its big different
