Vectors

Physics is very much in tuned with movement and some of it may specify direction thus the study of vectors is very important


to know more what is a vectors click here

if you already have the general idea on what is the direction of a vector practice your skill by clicking here

What if you have many vectors and running in every direction? well addition of vectors is the answer to that to learn more click here

Unit Conversion

Measurement explores procedures for measuring and learn about standard units in the metric and customary systems, the relationships among units, and the approximate nature of measurement. You will also examine how measurement can illuminate mathematical concepts such as irrational numbers, properties of circles, and area and volume formulas, and discover how other mathematical concepts can inform measurement tasks such as indirect measurement.

Mathematics - The Language of Science


Science was transformed in the seventeenth century when it was learned that nature can be analyzed and described mathematically. When the ideas of science are expressed in mathematical terms, they are unambiguous. They don't have the double meanings that so often confuse the discussion of ideas expressed in common language. when the findings in nature are expressed mathematically they are easier to verify or to disprove by experiment. The methods of mathematics and experimentation led to enormous success of science

Different Branches of Physics


Physics like chemistry and biology also has many sub branches
They are made up into 3 major categories mechanics, modern, and applied physics

Physics - the most basic of all science



Physics is more than a part of the physical sciences but is in fact the most basic of all sciences. Physics is about motion, forces, energy, matter, heat, sound, light, and the most composition of atoms. Chemistry is about how matter is put together, how atoms combine to form molecules, and how molecules combine to make up many kinds of matter around us. Biology is still more complex and involves matter that is alive. so physics supports chemistry, which in turn supports biology. The idea of physics are fundamental to these more complicated sciences. That's why physics is the most basic science. you can understand other sciences much better if you first understand physics.
