Physics (Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time, as well as all applicable concepts, including energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics had been considered synonymous with philosophy, chemistry, and certain branches of mathematics and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th century, it emerged to become a unique modern science in its own right. However, in some subject areas such as in mathematical physics and quantum chemistry, the boundaries of physics remain difficult to distinguish. Physics is both significant and influential, in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies, but also because new ideas in physics often resonate with other sciences, mathematics, and philosophy. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development of motorized transport; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

Asked by Deedee - Mon Jun 30 06:51:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. find sites from this page Answered by Il vostro partner - Mon Jun 30 07:01:27 2008 What are some great ways to learn and grasp physics for a beginner like me? Q. What should every student know about physics and what is exciting about it? Could you provide some fantastic links for learning physics? How should you go about understanding physics? What is the philosophy behind physics and if you study it what will you gain? I didn't get to take in in high school but I will be taking College Physics at the tech this semester, any advice or goals I should set? Asked by Aeon - Tue Jan 12 21:17:07 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no easy way, you must study and concentrate, don't move to a higher level until you fully understand what you have studied. I can recommend an excellent reference book "Asimov's New Guide To Science." Answered by johnandeileen2000 - Tue Jan 12 21:43:13 2010 Is physics necessary or recommended if I am going to study Maths B?
Q. I was just wondering if I should study physics if I am going to be studying Maths B. Do formula's in physics get used in Maths B? I don't really want to do physics if I dont have too. Asked by Shannon T - Mon Jun 15 00:25:13 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ermm...No...not at all... Maths helps physics much more than physics helps maths. Naturally when you get to the mechanics course with resoloving forces and stuff the physics people will have a slight advantage. Other than that, there's really no need to take physics if you're intrested in maths...apart from the fact physics is awesome. :) Regards, Joe Answered by Ben - Thu Jun 18 18:04:35 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Physics"  vodpod.com Sat, 28 Aug 2010 14:49:07 PDT Lecture 17: Motional EMF - Dynamos - Eddy Currents - Magnetic Braking 8.02 is a second-semester freshman physics class in electromagnetism.
