Also, what are some good resources for learning ABOUT physics?
Classical Physics is the branch of physics that studies the motion and behavior of macroscopic objects, such as planets, cars, and projectiles. It is based on the laws of motion and gravitation developed by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century.
Classical Physics is different from other branches of physics, such as Quantum Physics and Relativity, because it deals with objects that are large enough to be seen and measured directly, and it does not take into account the behavior of subatomic particles or objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light.
The main principles of Classical Physics are the laws of motion, which state that an object will remain at rest or in motion at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force, and the law of gravitation, which describes the attraction between two objects with mass.
Classical Physics is used in many everyday activities, such as driving a car, throwing a ball, and riding a bike. It is also used in engineering and architecture to design structures that can withstand the forces of gravity and motion.
Yes, Classical Physics is still relevant in modern science. While it may not fully explain the behavior of particles at a subatomic level or objects traveling at high speeds, it is still essential in understanding the motion and behavior of most objects in our daily lives.
