PHYSICS

Physics is the study of energy, matter, and how

they are related.

This particular course primarily focus on the

physics of the world we directly experience on a
daily basis.
 Topics in Physics
1. Mechanics: motion and properties of
everyday objects

2. Universal gravitation: motion of large

objects like planets and stars.
3. Thermodynamics: Study of heat

4. Quantum Mechanics:
Study of energy and behavior of
nuclear particles.
5. Electricity and Magnetism

6. Wave Propagation: study of mechanical and

electromagnetic waves.

Thunder and lightning start at the same

time, but why we see the lightning
first? White light is a mixture of the

seven colours of the rainbow.

Physics as a Mathematical Science
Physics as well as chemistry are sciences which
are not only based on observation, but more
importantly they are interpreted through many
mathematical formulas. (Math is often called
the “language” of Physics)
Most higher math courses, such as Calculus,
were developed primarily for their use in Physics.

In this course most of the math involved includes

algebra, some geometry, and trigonometry.
 Why is Physics Important?
Without knowledge of physics nearly all of the technologies we use on a daily basis
would not be possible. From cell phones to vehicles and just about anything else
you can think are only possible due to someone’s work in Physics.
Physics is a must have course if you are planning a
career in engineering, any science, and most
medical fields.
 Full Time Employment.
