Science is a systematic attempt to understand natural phenomena in as muchdetail and depth as possible and use the knowledge, so gained to predict, modifyand control phenomena. Science is exploring, experimenting and predicting fromwhat we see around us.In physics, we attempt to explain diverse physical phenomena in terms of a fewconcepts and laws. The effort is to see the physical world as manifestation of someuniversal laws in different domains and conditions. The connection betweenphysics, technology and society can be seen in many examples. The discipline ofthermodynamics arose from the need to understand and improve the working ofheat engines. Also wireless communication technology followed from thediscovery of the basic laws of electricity and magnetism. Let another importantexample of physics giving rise to technology is the silicon chip that triggered thecomputer revolution in the last three decades of the twentiath century. Hence, weobserve that how much strong influence physics is having on technologydevelopment and society.

Science can be viewed as a continuing human effort tosystematise knowledge for describing and understandingnature. You have learnt in your previous classes that wecome across diverse substances present in nature andchanges in them in daily life. Curd formation from milk,formation of vinegar from sugarcane juice on keepingfor prolonged time and rusting of iron are some of theexamples of changes which we come across many times.For the sake of convenience, science is sub-divided intovarious disciplines: chemistry, physics, biology, geology,etc. The branch of science that studies the preparation,properties, structure and reactions of material substancesis called chemistry.

Broadly, physics involves the study of everything in physical existence, from the smallest subatomic particles to the entire universe

Discuss the metaphysical concepts of law, causation, and explanation in the context of science. How do they relate to scientific understanding?

Which explains why the laws of motion are scientific laws?A.The laws cannot be tested by experiments, but scientists know that they are correct because they make sense mathematically.B.The laws explain how objects move and are supported by experimental evidence.C.The theories of motion became laws after there was enough evidence to prove they were true.D.The laws describe a wide range of observations of motion and can be used to predict the motion of objects.SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
