Physics is the science of how and why things work the way they do. This branch of science is concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics uses includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms. Physics uses algebraic mathematical processes in order to solve problems.
