Physics is the basic science that studies forces and energy.

Chemistry studies matter and energy, biology studies living systems, and geology studies the formation and properties of structures in the Earth.

Underlying all of these sciences is physics.

Objects move because they are subject to forces. Objects have different energies due to their motion and location. All of these topics are what form the basis of physics.

Traditionally, physics is broken down into the following major topics:

* Kinematics -- the study of motion (speed, velocity, acceleration)

* Dynamics -- the study of forces. This will include Work and Energy as major subtopics.

* Gravity -- the study of one of the three forces in the Universe

* Electricity and Magnetism -- the study of another of the fundamental forces

* Optics -- the study of light, a form of radiant energy

* Thermodynamics -- the study of thermal energy

* "Modern Physics" -- the study of how forces and energy work in extreme situations, such as high speeds or large amounts of gravity (Relativity Theory), or at very small sizes such as at the levels of individual atoms (Quantum Theory). In Quantum Theory, the third force, the Strong (or Nuclear) force will be discussed.

The problem with learning all of this is that there are a lot of different topics in physics, and many of them don't have lot to do with other topics, such as geometrical optics doesn't have a lot of overlap with thermodynamics.

Physics is the scientific study of the fabric of all things that exist.
To elaborate on that it can be anything from the study of large celestial bodies, such as stars and planets, to the study of atoms and smaller particles.
Physics is, in the opinion of some, the most diverse science as it can apply to everyday life, as well as express detail that many people find incomprehensible.
It is a truly fascinating subject
Hope this helped

The dictionary definition of physics is “the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them”, but what that really means is that physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing and experimenting.

"phys·ics (fzks) KEY

NOUN:

(used with a sing. verb) The science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two, grouped in traditional fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics, cryogenics, solid-state physics, particle physics, and plasma physics.

(used with a pl. verb) Physical properties, interactions, processes, or laws: the physics of supersonic flight. "[See source.]

You would do better, when looking for definitions, to use the definitive resource...your dictionary. In Answers, simply "Research your answer" by typing in "XXXXXX definition," where XXXXXX is the word you want defined and Search the Web. In the resulting list, you'll find more than one on-line dictionaries and you can copy and paste the definitions you are looking for...as I did above to answer your question.

As you can see, physics is about mass (matter), energy, and how they interact. In HS, we concentrate on classical physics where Newton's laws (motion and gravity) are examined, kinetic motion (the SUVAT equations [look this up using Search the Web], Coulomb's laws of electrical attraction/repulsion, optics, and so on. In beginning physics in college, more of the same, but with more in-depth and complex equations. In advanced upperclass physics, we start to get some atomic physics and a bit of relativity. In post-grad physics, we are exposed to advanced concepts like string/M theory, Higgs Fields, quantum gravity, etc. Meanwhile, we learn more and more complex types of mathematics to support our delve into the physics.

Physics is the study of matter and energy and the relationship between them

2007-09-09 07:53:21 · answer #6 · answered by Anonymous · 0 0

Physics is the study of how things work. Physics seeks to explain the basic interactions of matter and energy. It studies matter, motion, space, and time. Generally, it is the scientific analysis of nature in order to try to understand how the universe behaves.

Physics is a piece of ****.When you will face those shitty face physics problems and then you shitty face gets crumbled showing off doesn't matter

so ap physics is purely fairly stressful, and as continually relies upon on the instructor as properly (is he/she an excellent instructor? lots or little artwork, etc...) additionally relies upon on what else you're taking once you're taking ap physics, if the different classes are not stressful and you will concentration on the class, then it relies upon and it relies upon on you, and how the problem is for you, and how stressful you pick for to artwork at it sorry if this would not help, yet there are assorted components...

My answer is simple but unsophisticated: I would say physics is the study of movement and/of matter.
