Developer's DescriptionBy first-rate-appsWhat Is Physics...What Is Physics?The word physics is derived from the Latin word physica, which means "natural thing."According to the Oxford English Dictionary, physics is defined as:Definition of "Physics" by the Oxford English Dictionary"The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."Another definition by the digital encyclopedia Microsoft Encarta describes physics as:Definition of "Physics" by Microsoft EncartaA major science dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces. Sometimes in modern physics a more sophisticated approach is taken that incorporates elements of the three areas listed above; it relates to the laws of symmetry and conservation, such as those pertaining to energy, momentum, charge, and parity.What these definitions indicate is that physics is a branch of science that deals with the properties of matter and energy and the relationship between them. It also tries to explain the material world and the natural phenomena of the universe.The scope of physics is very wide and vast. It deals with not only the tinniest particles of atoms, but also natural phenomenon like the galaxy, the milky way, solar and lunar eclipses, and more. While it is true that physics is a branch of science, there are many sub-branches within the field of physics.What Are the Branches of Physics?While there are more branches sprouting up as science and technology progresses, there are generally 11 branches of physics. These are as follows.Branches of PhysicsClassical physicsModern physicsNuclear physicsAtomic physicsGeophysicsBiophysicsMechanicsAcousticsOpticsThermodynamicsAstrophysicsContinue reading in the app to explore each of these branches in depth.This app of Physics, Extended building upon previous issues by offering several new features and additions. The app offers most accurate, extensive and varied set of assessment questions of any course management program in addition to all questions including some form of question assistance including answer specific feedback to facilitate success. Furthermore, the app includes math review content in both a self-study module for more in-depth review and also in just-in-time math videos for a quick refresher on a specific topic.TABLE OF CONTENTSChapter 1 MeasurementChapter 2 Motion Along a Straight LineChapter 3 VectorChapter 4 Motion in Two and Three DimensionsChapter 5 Force and Motion IChapter 6 Force and Motion IIChapter 7 Kinetic Energy and WorkChapter 8 Potential Energy and Conservation of EnergyChapter 9 Center of Mass and Linear MomentumChaptr 10 RotationChap 11 Rolling, Torque, and Angular MomentumChapter 12 Equilibrium and ElasticityChapter 13 GravitationChapter 14 FluidsChapter 15 OscillationsChapter 16 WavesChapter 18 Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of ThermodynamicsChapter 19 The Kinetic Theory of GasesChapter 20 Entropy and the Second Law of ThermodynamicsChapter 21 Electric ChargeChapter 22 Electric FieldsChapter 23 Gauss' LawChapter 24 Electric PotentialChapter 25 CapacitanceChapter 26 Current and ResistanceChapter 27 CircuitsChapter 28 Magnetic FieldsChapter 29 Magnetic Fields Due to CurrentsChapter 30 Induction and InductanceChapter 31 Electromagnetic Oscillations and Alternating CurrentChapter 32 Maxwell's Equations; Magnetism of MatterChapter 33 Electromagnetic WavesChapter 34 ImagesChapter 35 InterferenceChapter 36 DiffractionChapter 37 RelativityChapter 38 Photons and Matter WavesChapter 39 More About Matter WavesChapter 40 All About AtomsChapter 41 Conduction of Electricity in SolidsChapter 42 Nuclear PhysicsChapter 43 Energy from the NucleusChapter 44 Quarks, Leptons, and the Big Bang
