Welcome to your first formal class in physics. Physics is the fundamental (basic) science of how things work in nature. Some of the things in physics that we will deal with are:
- How a car accelerates.
- How an asteroid could fall towards Earth.
- Why the planets and the moons stay in orbit.
- How a car accident works.
- The way a fighter lands (or takes) a punch or applies a submission.
- How a catapult works.
- How a supernova has created everything around you, including you.
- The physics of bowling.
- Have a complete understanding of what physics is.
- Know what physics could possibly have to do with you and the rest of the universe.
- Know what physics can and is used for.
- Develop organizational and problem solving skills.
- Know what your goals are.
- Understand why knowledge is the most important thing in your life.
