1. Welcome to Physics--Jump in!

2. What is If it living it is biology. If it is chemicals it is chemistry If it is rocks it is geology Physics is everything else and can be applied to biology, chemistry and geology, so….. Physics is the study of just about everything!

3. Okay, you want a proper definition: Physics is the study of the interactions between matter and energy.

4. Topics Covered: Mechanics Electricity Magnetism Waves Physical Optics Thermodynamics Modern Physics
