TIPS ON HOW TO
STUDY PHYSICS
EFFECTIVELY
Calculators Won’t Solve
Your Problems
Active Learning
Note Taking
Math and Problem Solving
Understand the key
formulas you’ll have to
use.
Note the key vocabulary
words you have to
remember.
Independent Study
Organization
Gather Materials:
• Notebook
• Scientific
Calculator
• Ruler
• Protractor
(angles)
• Other Supplies
By organizing all
problems, notes, and
graded exams, you are
always able to review.

Timely Learning
Timely learning is efficient
learning. It is better to study an
hour each day than to cram on
weekends.

Complaints of Beginning Physics
Students
• Indi magaling teacher ko.
• Ang kapal ng textbook!
• Indi ako magaling s math.
• Wala akong oras.
• Dami kasing problema sa: bahay, nanay, tatay,

tropa, bf, gf, ff, gff . . .
• Sobra naman yung oras na physics..
It’s Your
Responsibility!
As hard as it sounds, the ultimate responsibility for
learning rests with you and no one else.
Take Action; Never let things outside your

control prevent you from achieving goals!

Introduction:
Everything in the universe moves and interacts, and forces
play a big part in that. Physics studies those forces and
interactions. Physics the study of matter, energy, and the
interaction between them.
Physic
s Branch of science which
deals with the study of
matter and energy
Branches of Physics
Mechanics:
• Force and Motion
• Kinematics: description of motion
•Dynamics: description of causes
of changes in motion
Branches of Physics
Thermodynamics
•Relationship of Heat and
Mechanics which includes a
thorough study of energy
Branches of Physics
Waves
•Deals with how energy is
transferred that includes concepts
of light and sound
Branches of Physics
Electricity and Magnetism
•Deals with characteristics and
behavior of matter.
Branches of Physics
Relativity and Modern Physics
•Deals with all concepts not
covered in the first 4 branches
Scientific Method
 A method that is extremely
effective in gaining, organizing,
and applying new knowledge.
Practiced within the context of
scientific thinking
Scientific Method
 Scientific Hypothesis
 An educated guess that is only
presumed to be factual when
demonstrated so be experiment
 Scientific Law
 Order in nature
 Hypothesis that has been tested over and
over again and have always been
found to be true.
Scientific Method
Scientific Fact
 Close agreement by competent
observers of the same phenomena
Scientific Theory
 A synthesis of a large body of
information that encompasses well-
tested and verified hypotheses about
certain aspects
Tools in Science
Language
Mathematics
 Physical Quantities
Quantities that describe
matter.
Can be classified as

contributions to the
understanding of gravity, black
holes and cosmology were
truly immense.
• They began with the
singularity theorems in the
1960s followed by his
discovery that black holes
have an entropy and
consequently a finite
temperature.
