The goal of physics is to provide an understanding of the physical world by developing theories based on
experiments.
The basic laws of physics involve such physical quantities as force, velocity, volume, and acceleration, all
of which can be described in terms of more fundamental quantities. In mechanics, the three most
fundamental quantities are length (L), mass (M), and time (T); all other physical quantities can be
constructed from these three.
