    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.
