PHYS 101 Lecture 1: PHYSICS
Document Summary
It is both, a body of knowledge and a process. It is a way of discovering our universe, the various processes and how they work. The science branch that studies matter, energy, forces and motion. Electrical impulses generated by neurons to send messages through our body. They both are rather related in some aspects. Integration of science and maths: it occurred some 4 centuries ago, ideas of science and unambiguous when seen in math terms, equations of science show relationship between concepts, easier to make predictions. Recognize a question, puzzle, or unexpected fact. Make a hypothesis (educated guess) to solve. Perform experiments or make calculations to test the predictions. Explanation made on limited evidence serving as a start for further investigation. Synthesis of large body of information that encompasses well-tested hypothesizes to explain a phenomenon. Chapter 2: newton"s first law of motion inertia. Deals with concepts that are needed to describe motion.
