3. The Science of PhysicsSection 1 What do you think? What are some topics you expect to study this year in physics? The principles of physics govern our everyday lives. Do you know any of the laws of physics? –If so, describe the law or rule of physics as you understand it. Do the laws of physics ever change?

4. The Science of PhysicsSection 1 Significance of Physics Foundation for other sciences. Everything around us is affected by it. Explains phenomena such as orbiting satellites, weightlessness, lightning, sonic booms, magnetism and energy transformations.

5. The Science of PhysicsSection 1 What is Physics? The study of motion, forces and energy. “The entire universe is built upon of the principles revealed by a study of physics.” -Andrew Zimmerman JonesAndrew Zimmerman Jones

8. The Science of PhysicsSection 1 Now what do you think? What are some topics you expect to study this year in physics? How do scientists discover the laws of physics? Do the laws of physics ever change?

9. The Science of PhysicsSection 1 Chapter 1 Physics The goal of physics is to use a small number of basic concepts, equations, and assumptions to describe the physical world. These physics principles can then be used to make predictions about a broad range of phenomena. Physics discoveries often turn out to have unexpected practical applications, and advances in technology can in turn lead to new physics discoveries. Section 1 What Is Physics?
