?Whats physics
 Physics is a systematic study of the
natural world, a discipline that attempts
to quantify reality through a precise
application of observation coupled with
logic and reason
Physics is the scientific study
of matter and energy and
how they interact with each
other
motion, light, electricity, radiation,
gravity
matter on scales ranging
from sub-atomic particles
(i.e. the particles that make
up the atom and the
particles that make up those
particles) to stars and even
.entire galaxies
 How Physics Works

It uses scientific method to formulate & 

Test hypothesis
Hypothesis is based on observation of real 
world
Major goal is to formulate scintific laws 
using the results
These laws are generally in mathematical 
form to understand different phenomena
 Fields of Physics
