Basic Study Document on Physics

Chapter 1: Introduction to Physics

Physics is the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy.

It studies the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another,

and the effects of those forces.

1. Classical Physics:

- Mechanics: Deals with motion and forces.

- Thermodynamics: Studies heat and temperature.

- Electromagnetism: Deals with electric and magnetic fields.

2. Modern Physics:

- Quantum Mechanics: Deals with phenomena at atomic and subatomic levels.

- Relativity: Deals with the behavior of objects at high speeds or in strong gravitational fields.

Physics uses mathematical models to explain natural phenomena and predict future events.
