Physics in Daily Life-i (Classical Mechanics)

"Physics is all around us. It is in the electric light you turn on in the morning; the car you drive to work; your wristwatch, cell phone, Cd player, radio, and that big plasma Tv set you got for Christmas. It makes the stars shine every night and the sun shine every day, and it makes a baseball soar into the stands for a home run. Physics is the science of matter, energy, space, and time. It explains ordinary matter as combinations of a dozen fundamental particles (quarks and leptons), interacting through four fundamental forces. It describes the many forms of energy-such as kinetic energy, electrical energy, and mass-energy v.s. There are many fields of physics, for example: mechanics, electricity, heat, sound, light, condensed matter, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and elementary particle physics. So also Mechanics is an important field of physics. This excellent study teaches simple physics principles to the college-level students and other people interest in daily-life physics."
