How to Keep Your Computer Safe From Viruses
UNDERSTANDING PHYSICS.
Look outside the window and you may see the leaves of a tree falling down.
There will some students who would not even have noticed the leaves falling. Some may have seen the falling leaves but this not register what they saw. Other may admire the beauty of the falling leaves .
Still others may ask some questions about the falling leaves;
• Why did the leaves fall down and not to fly up ?
• Would the larger leaves fall faster ?
• Would a heavier leaf fall faster?
In fact there are a thousand and one questions you can as about the falling leaves.
The leaves of a tree falling down is one of the events that happened around us everyday
Event –something that happens, in this case the leaves falling from the tree. An action, with a beginning and an end.
Physical phenomena are always unfolding before us. By asking questions we can focus on the aspect we are interested in. By making observations and careful measurements we can gather the necessary data that will help us in our search for the answers to our question. Experiment have to properly planned and carried out to verify the answer we seeks.
In physics we learn about making connections. We know that when released the object,it fall down towards the earth. We observe that the Moon goes round the Earth. Is there any connection between the two phenomena ?
Physics is a branch of science centered on the study of the matter, energy, and the connection between them.ExampleThree students have performed an experiment in which they tested the sinking and floating behavior of three objects , each of the same volume but of difference mass. They found two of the object sank while the third object floated. Consider the following discussion among them.
Q. Why should I have to study physics if I'm going to be a doctor - lawyer - etc?
Physics, as a discipline - especially at an undergraduate level, teaches many things that are important in all walks of life:
1) Problem Solving skills - the typical physics course is more problem solving based than any other subject (except perhaps mathematics) and the problems are often more practical. If you want to be a doctor, say, skill at quickly thinking about the problems of "what is wrong with this patient" could mean the difference between life and death.
2) Real World Familiarity - Freshman physics courses tend to teach about the every-day, real, world. You learn about how things move, how they fall, what friction means, what constraints conservation of energy and momentum can put on a system.
3) Relevant information - Physics is directly relevant to the core of many fields which might seem separate at first glance.
Engineers build bridges, but they need to understand the forces involved and how bridges react to stress in order to build safe ones.
Biologists look at proteins and DNA - the structures of which are measured using diffraction techniques developed by physicists, and only really understood through physics. Biologists also use light and lasers to make fluorescence measurements to keep track of the chemicals present - physics illuminates the devices, lenses, microscopes and the very colors of the dies used!
As you can see, there are many good reasons to study physics, no matter what your career goal might be - but the most important is that physics is constantly unveiling new facts about our universe - from the very small, like new semiconductors and superconductors, to the very large, like black holes and galaxies - do you want to understand what is coming, or do you want to be left behind?
