Science > Physics > Introduction to Measurements > Other Important Units The quantity to be measured may be very large so that the SI unit of that quantity may be smaller to use or the quantity to be measured is so small that the SI unit of that quantity is very large to use. Hence […]
Science > Physics > Introduction to Measurements > System of Units There are as many units as there are independent quantities. We consider length, mass, and time three quantities which are independent of each other. Hence they have three separate units for their measurements. Hence it is required to define systems of units. LIST OF […]
Science > Physics > Introduction to Measurements > Measurement and its Need Physics is a science of measurement. In this article, we shall study the meaning of the term ‘measurement’ and its importance in the field of science and engineering. “When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you […]
Science > Physics > Physics and Other Sciences LIST OF SUB-TOPICS Physics is a study of matter and energy in its different forms. In other words, physics is the study of nature and its laws. We expect that all the different events taking place in nature always take place according to some basic rules and […]
Science > Physics > Science and Scientific View Some of the most profound statements on the nature of science have come from Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time. What do you think did Einstein mean when he said: “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible”? Explanation: […]
Science > Physics > Scientific Methods At the core, all sciences lie a problem-solving approach called the scientific method. It is a set of procedures that scientists follow in order to gain knowledge about the world. It is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. It doesn’t mean that every scientist […]
Science > Physics > Introduction to Physics List of Sub-Topics: 1.1.1.1 What is Physics? Science word is derived from the Latin word ‘Scientia’ which means ‘to know’. Science has many disciplines, Physics being one of them. The word Physics is derived from the Greek word ‘Fusis’ meaning ‘nature’. Physics is that branch of Science which […]
