Physics describes the fundamental principles governing the natural world. It explores how matter and energy interact, how forces and fields influence objects, and the laws that govern these interactions. Key areas include:
– Mechanics: Study of motion and forces.
– Electromagnetism: Study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions.
– Thermodynamics: Study of heat, work, and energy transfer.
– Quantum Mechanics: Study of particles at atomic and subatomic levels.
– Relativity: Study of how space and time are interconnected, particularly at high speeds or in strong gravitational fields.
Physics aims to understand the underlying principles of natural phenomena and to develop models and theories that can predict and explain how systems behave.
