    Physics is the study of matter, energy, space, and time, and seeks to understand the fundamental interactions between these entities. It uses models, theories, and scientific laws to describe natural phenomena that are observed through experimentation. Some key aspects of physics include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and relativistic quantum mechanics, each dealing with objects and interactions at different scales of size and speed.

    PHYSICS

    The remaining core of natural philosophy and


    concerns itself with questions of what underlies
    the interactions of matter, energy, space, and
    time, and even with what constitutes reality.
     Model- an analogy to objects or phenomena
    that are generally familiar and can be
    experienced directly. Models serve as very
    useful mental images to help picture what is
    going on in a system that cannot be sensed
    directly.
     Example- planetary model of an atom
     Theory- it is a model that is widely successful
    in its application.

     Example- wave theory of light


     Scientific Law- describes what happens in
    nature in a general way. They are observed to
    describe nature accurately in so many
    circumstances that they are thought of as being
    absolutely true and immutable.

     Example. Newtons Law of Motion


     Importance of experiments
    Validity of models, theories and laws is judged on their
    success through experiments.
     Realms of Physics
     1. Classical Physics – deals with objects larger than molecular
    size and moving slower than about 1% of the speed of light.

     2. Quantum mechanics – appilicable in dealing small objects.

     3. Relativity- dealing with objects that are moving at very


    high speeds.

     4. Relativistic quantum mechanics- dealing with small-fast


    moving objects.
    The basic units
     Basic entities:
    1. Length 2. Mass 3. Time

    Basic units
    1. Length – meters
    2. Mass – kilograms
    3. Time – seconds
     British System (apothecary system)
     SI units (Systeme Internationale)
     THE END
