, Definition of Physics
Physics:
The study of matter, energy, and their interactions.
1. Matter → anything that has mass and occupies space
2. Energy → ability to do work or cause change
3. Interaction → forces and motion that connect matter and energy
Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the interactions between t
seeks to understand how the universe behaves from the smallest
