Why You Should Care About Learning Physics ?Physics is all around you. It impacts everything you do every second of the day.
Physics helps us understand the world we live in.
Physics has been studied for hundreds and thousands of years, and we have amassed a great deal of
knowledge about how things work.
Learning physics allows you to understand and appreciate the contributions of those who came before
you.
Physics is a problem-solving science, and being able to solve problems is crucial for understanding the
concepts.
Anyone can learn physics with the willingness to learn and some basic math skills.
Physics is a continuously evolving field, and there is always more to learn and contribute.
Expectations in this Class
The class will be problem-based, with lectures on concepts and ideas. It is important to be able to solve
problems to truly understand physics. Practice is key in solving physics problems, and you will get better
with time. It is recommended to pause the lesson and try solving problems on your own.
Overview of Physics
Physics can be broken up into various topics:
Mechanics
Thermodynamics
Electricity and Magnetism
Optics
Modern Physics (Relativity and Quantum Mechanics)
Throughout this course, we will delve into these topics and develop problem-solving skills.
, Remember, we don't have all the answers, and there is ongoing research in advanced physics. So as you
learn, keep in mind that there is always more to discover and contribute.
Introduction to Physics
In physics, there are three main areas of study: motion, thermodynamics and waves, and electricity and
magnetism. Each area covers different concepts and topics that are essential to understanding the
principles of physics.
Motion
Motion is the study of objects and their movement. It involves understanding concepts such as force
and energy. In physics, we define and explore these concepts to solve problems and analyze motion
using equations of motion.
Thermodynamics and Waves
Thermodynamics is the study of heat and temperature and how they relate to work. It also involves
understanding waves, such as sound and water waves, and how energy can be transmitted through
them. The goal is to understand how to transfer heat energy into useful work.
Electricity and Magnetism
Electricity and magnetism are two interrelated topics in physics. We learn about electric circuits, electric
fields, and magnetic fields. These concepts are unified into electromagnetism, which explains how
electric and magnetic fields can create electromagnetic waves, including light.
Modern Physics
Modern physics includes the study of relativity and quantum mechanics. Relativity deals with the
concept that time is relative and can vary depending on an observer's speed. Quantum mechanics
explores the dual nature of particles and waves, showing that they can exhibit characteristics of both.
