Physics: Chapter 1 Physics, by definition, is the study of matter and energy. Since the universe (as far as we know) is made up of these two things and nothing else, physics can accurately be described as the scientific study of everything. Physicists conduct experiments and make observations in order to collection data about the universe.
4 CHAPTER 1. UNITS AND VECTORS: TOOLS FOR PHYSICS In terms of its components, the magnitude (“length”) of a vector A (which we write as A) is given by: A = q A2 x +A2 y +A2 z (1.4) Many of our physics problems will be in two dimensions (x and y) and then we can also represent it in polar form. If A is a two–dimensional vector and θ as ...

Chapter 1: Introduction to Physics This chapter is an overview of physics and gives a taste of what it is like to do physics. To read this chapter you need to know a few things. I assume that you have studied a little algebra, up to the fact that x-1 = 1 x. I also assume that you have some grasp of what pressure, volume, and temperature are. 1. ...

Chapter 1. Measurement 4 stored in a tube and excited to produce the light in various labs around the world without the need for access to a standard metal bar. This definition was revised in 1983 based on the extremely accurately known speed of light. A meter was defined as the distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second. Note 1.1.B.

What is Physics? An experimentally based science with a goal of understanding and explaining the fundamental principles that govern the physical universe. “The goal of physics is to predict the future.” -Dr. C. Fronsdal (UCLA) Physics is not just about learning facts, but about doing experiments to understand how the universe operates.
