PHYSICS

Physics is the most basic of the

sciences
It serves as the foundation of other
sciences.

physics
Study of matter and energy and its
transformation from one form to
another.
Study which describes motion and the
cause of motion.

Branches of physics
ELECTROMAGNETISM
Battery, lights
MECHANICS
Spinning motion of the
wheels that provide
enough friction for
traction

ACOUSTICS
Speakers
Waves and
sound

OPTICS
Mirrors,
headlights
THERMODYNAMICS
Efficient engines,
coolants

Branches of physics

ACOUSTICS

OPTICS

Describes motion
and the causes of
motion.
Study of production
and propagation of
sound waves.
Study of light

Branches of physics
THERMODYNAMICS

ELECTROMAGNETISM

Study the
relationship
between heat and
other forms of
energy
Study of the
properties of electric
current and
magnetism and
their relationship

PHYSICS

PHYSICS
An experimental science.
it is a mechanical process of
collecting and devising theories.

Scientific method
1.Ask a question.
2.Formulate
hypothesis.
3.Test the
hypothesisExperimentation
4.Data gathering
5.Analysis
6.Conclusion

 Galileos theory has a range of validityit applies only to objects for which the
force exerted by air is much less than
the weight.
