Mass and energy module 1

Physics is

• A science that research matter, energy AND space

• A science that studies the transform of energy

1. 1. Aristotle

• Stablish general principles that ruled the behavior of natural bodies

• Motion, change of place, change of size or number

• first to apply math to physical phenomena,

• father of hydrostatics and discovering the buoyancy principle which bears his name

2. 2. Archimedes

• Behavior of natural bodies

• The first who apply MATH to PHYSICAL pheomena

• Father of hydrostatics

• Motion, change of place and size

3. 3. Galileo Galilei

• experiments and studies of the motion of bodies were precursors of classical mechanics

• stablished motion laws

• He also contributed to optics and the development of calculus.

• father of modern Physics

4. 4. Isaac Newton

• formulated the electromagnetic theory

• stablished motion laws and also the universal gravitation principles.

• optics and the development of calculus.

• electricity and magnetism

5. 5. James Clerk Maxwell

• electromagnetic theory that unifies the concepts of electricity and magnetism

• theory of relativity

• radio waves

• photoelectric effect and did contributions to the quantum theory.

6. 6. Albert Eintein

• Theory of relativity, discovered the photoelectric effect and did contributions to the quantum theory.

• electromagnetic theory that unifies the concepts of electricity and magnetism

The interests of physics is to provide knowledge

• True

• False

Branch of physic: CLASSIC PHYSIC

• XVII and XIX centuries

  Small velocities compared with light speed

• Developed almost during the XX century. It considers of the quantum and relativity theories. It deals with velocities near light speed.

Brach of physic: MODERN PHYSICS

• XVII and XIX centuries, deals with small velocities when compared with light speed.

• XX century. It considers of the quantum and relativity theories. It deals with velocities "near light speed.2
