Branches of physics and their meanings

Physics
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Physics is a scientific discipline that seeks to construct and experimentally test theories of the physical universe. These theories vary in their scope and can be organized into several distinct branches.

MECHANICS :

Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of an object without or with the reference of force. Mechanics can be further divided into two branches, namely quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. Quantum mechanics deals with the behaviour of the smallest particles like neutrons, protons, and electrons, while classical mechanics is the branch that deals with laws of motion of forces and physical objects.

OPTICS :

This branch of physics deals with the behaviour, propagation, and properties of light. Optics can be simply described as the study of the behaviour of infrared light, visible light, and ultraviolet.

THERMODYNAMICS:

Thermodynamics deals with the study of heat and its relation with work and energy. Thermodynamics also deals with the transmission of heat energy by means of convection, conduction, and radiation.

ELECTROMAGNETISM:

Electromagnetism deals with the study of electromagnetic force like electric fields, light, magnetic fields, etc. There are two aspects of electromagnetism which are “electricity” and “magnetism”.

RELATIVITY:

This branch of physics deals with the theorem that was formulated by Albert Einstein. The theory of relativity states that space and time are relative and all the motion must be relative to a frame of reference.

ACOUSTICS :

Acoustics deals with the study of sound and its transmission, production, and effects. Acoustics mainly involves the mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids, which include vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

U= 0.112 x10^{-6} J

u= 0.708 \frac{J}{m^{3} }

Explanation:

diameter= 2 cm

r= 1 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} = 0.01 m

distance= 0.5 mm

d= 0.5 mm * \frac{1m}{1000m}= 0.5 x10^{-3}

Area A= \pi *r^{2}= 0.314x10^{-3}  m^{2}

Volume v= A*d = 0.314 x10^{-3}m^{2}*0.5x10^{-3} m =0.157x10^{-6}  m^{3}

v= 0.157 x10^{-6} m^{3}

Constant vacuum permittivity

E_{o}= 8.85x10^{-12}

a).

C= \frac{A*E_{o} }{d} = \frac{0.314x10^{-3} *8.85x10^{-12}  }{0.5x10^{-3} } \\C= 5.56 x10^{-12}F

U= \frac{1}{2} *C *V^{2}\\ U=\frac{1}{2} * 5.56x10^{-12}*(200)^{2}  \\U=0.112 x^{-6} J\\

b).

u=\frac{U}{v}

u=\frac{0.112 x10^{-6}J}{0.157x10^{-6}m^{3}  } \\u=0.708 \frac{J}{m^{3} }
