Study Notes

What is Physics?

Physics is the study of matter, its motion, its behavior through space and time, and the related concepts of energy and force.
Physics is considered a fundamental scientific discipline.
Physics aims to understand how the universe works.
Physics is often regarded as the mother of all sciences.
Physics relies on observation, mathematical representation, experimentation, and concluding about the observed facts.

Why Study Physics?

Physics explains the laws governing the universe, from atoms to galaxies.
Studying physics equips you to answer questions about everyday phenomena, such as why ice floats or how to measure the length of a small cylinder.

Physicists

Physicists are categorized into two groups: those who observe nature and those who try to solve its mysteries using available tools and knowledge.
