Introduction to Physics
Physics is the branch of science that studies matter, energy, and the fundamental forces of nature. It
helps explain how the universe works-from tiny atoms to giant galaxies.
1. Motion: The study of how objects move, including speed, velocity, and acceleration.
2. Force: A push or pull that can change the motion of an object (e.g., gravity, friction).
3. Energy: The ability to do work. It exists in different forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and
electrical.
4. Waves and Sound: Physics explains how sound travels in waves and how different types of
waves behave.
5. Light: A form of energy that travels in waves. Physics studies how light reflects, refracts, and
forms images.
6. Electricity and Magnetism: Involves electric circuits, current, voltage, and the behavior of
magnets.
7. Matter and States: Matter exists in solid, liquid, and gas states and changes with temperature and
pressure.

Summary:
Physics is the science of how things move and interact. It reveals the laws that govern the universe
