===Basic principles of physics=== [[Outline of physics|Physics]] β branch of science that studies [[matter]]<!-- --><ref name="feynmanleightonsands1963-atomic"/> <!-- -->and its [[Motion (physics)|motion]] through [[Spacetime|space and time]], along with related concepts such as [[energy]] and [[force]].<!-- --><ref name="maxwell1878-physicalscience"/> <!-- --> Physics is one of the "[[fundamental science]]s" because the other natural sciences (like biology, geology, etc.) deal with systems that seem to obey the laws of physics. According to physics, the physical laws of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces of nature govern the interactions between particles and physical entities (such as planets, molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles). Some of the basic pursuits of physics, which include some of the most prominent developments in modern science in the last millennium, include: * Describing the nature, measuring and quantifying of bodies and their motion, dynamics etc. ** [[Newton's laws of motion]] ** [[Mass]], [[force]] and [[weight]] ** [[Momentum]] and [[conservation of energy]] ** [[Gravity]], theories of gravity ** [[Energy]], [[Work (physics)|work]], and their relationship ** [[Motion (physics)|Motion]], position, and [[energy]] ** Different forms of Energy, their interconversion and the inevitable loss of energy in the form of heat (Thermodynamics) ** [[Conservation of energy|Energy conservation]], [[energy conversion|conversion]], and transfer. ** [[Energy source]] the transfer of energy from one source to work in another. * [[Kinetic theory of gases|Kinetic molecular theory]] ** [[Phase (matter)|Phases of matter]] and [[phase transition]]s ** [[Temperature]] and [[thermometer]]s ** [[Energy]] and [[heat]] ** Heat flow: [[Heat conduction|conduction]], [[convection]], and [[thermal radiation|radiation]] ** The four [[laws of thermodynamics]] * The principles of [[wave]]s and [[sound]] * The principles of [[electricity]], [[magnetism]], and [[electromagnetism]] * The principles, sources, and properties of [[light]]
