2. Outline of physical science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physical_science

   Physical science can be described as all of the following: A branch of science (a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe). [1][2][3] A branch of natural science – natural science is a major branch of science that tries to explain and predict nature's ...

3. Physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

   Physics, as with the rest of science, relies on philosophy of science and its "scientific method" to advance knowledge of the physical world. [40] The scientific method employs a priori reasoning as well as a posteriori reasoning and the use of Bayesian inference to measure the validity of a given theory.

   This glossary of physics is a list of definitions of terms and concepts relevant to physics, its sub-disciplines, and related fields, including mechanics, materials science, nuclear physics, particle physics, and thermodynamics. For more inclusive glossaries concerning related fields of science and technology, see Glossary of chemistry terms ...

5. Outline of physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physics

   Physics – branch of science that studies matter [9] and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. [10] Physics is one of the "fundamental sciences" because the other natural sciences (like biology, geology etc.) deal with systems that seem to obey the laws of physics.

6. Physical change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_change

   Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances. In general a physical change is reversible using physical ...

7. Branches of science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_science

   Natural sciences: the study of natural phenomena (including cosmological, geological, physical, chemical, and biological factors of the universe). Natural science can be divided into two main branches: physical science and life science (or biology). Social sciences and the humanities: the study of human behavior in its social and cultural aspects.

8. Force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

   v. t. e. A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity unless counterbalanced by other forces. The concept of force makes the everyday notion of pushing or pulling mathematically precise. Because the magnitude and direction of a force are both important, force is a vector quantity.

9. Matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

   Matter is a general term describing any 'physical substance'. By contrast, mass is not a substance but rather a quantitative property of matter and other substances or systems; various types of mass are defined within physics – including but not limited to rest mass, inertial mass, relativistic mass, mass–energy.
