1: What is Physics
- Name the areas of physics
- What are the activities
involved in the scientific method?
- Give two examples of
ways that physicists model the physcial world.
- Physics in Action
Indentify the
area of physics involved in each of the following tests of a lightweight metal
alloy proposed for use in sailboat hulls:
- testing the effects of
a collision on the alloy
- testing the effects of
extreme heat and cold on the alloy
- testing whether the alloy
can affect a magnetic compass needle
