PHYSICS PRACTICE WORKSHEET
What is Physics?
Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them. It is a branch of science that seeks to explain the natural world. Physics deals with the properties of matter and energy, such as motion, force, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
Motion
Motion is the act of an object changing its position in relation to its surroundings. This can be in a straight line, or it can be in a curved path. Examples of motion include a car traveling down a road, a ball rolling across a table, or a person walking up a staircase.
Force
Force is a push or a pull that can cause an object to move, speed up, slow down, or change direction. The most common forces are gravity, friction, and air resistance.
Heat
Heat is the energy that is transferred from one object to another due to a difference in temperature. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Light
Light is a form of energy that travels in waves. It can be seen by the human eye and can be used to see objects. Light is made up of different colors, and each color has a different wavelength.
Sound
Sound is a form of energy that travels in waves. It is created when an object vibrates, and it can be heard by the human ear.
Electricity
Electricity is the flow of electric charge. It is used to power many of the devices that we use today, such as computers, phones, and lights.
Magnetism
Magnetism is a force that can attract or repel objects that have certain materials in them, such as iron or steel. Magnets can be used to pick up objects or to create electricity.
Atoms
Atoms are the smallest particles of matter. They are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and they form the basis of all matter.
