Intoduction to science

WHAT IS SCIENCE ??????   The word science probably brings to one’s mind many different pictures: extremely large textbooks,laboratories,coats and microscopes,bombs and military,an astronomer peering through a telescope, newton’s equation scribbled on a chalkboard,space,Einstein’s photoelectric,numbers effect,genetics......All these images reflect some spheres of science,but none of them provides a full picture of what science really is, because science has many facets.   DEFINITION(s) Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence. Science is knowledge gained by systematic and logical study in any branches of physical, chemical or natural sciences, which is gained through observa...

Kinetic Theory of matter

kinetic theory of matter structure of matter: (a) E vidence that matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles[called ATOM S ],can be traced back to the time of the ancient Greeks.According to Sir John Dalton's theory in 1810.HE postulated that ATOMS can neither be created nor destroyed and are the smallest particle that cannot be broke down. The highlighted clause above indicates that it can be gotten from any substance[yam,paper,wool,metal,can] by the continually breaking into small bits until it cannot be broken down again.this tiny was named atom.The atomic theory of matter states that all matter[Gas,Solid,Liquid,...] are made up of atom which are constantly moving about a mean fixed point. The experiment of atomic structure is the Brownian motion[movement] performed by Scottish biologist Robert brown in 1827,where he looked under a microscope and observed the motion of particle of pollen grains suspended in water.This was an unintentional discovery by Robert,Whom he notice...

measurements and unit (part 1)

 ๐Ÿ˜œread Measurement And Units Physics is based on measurement of physical quantities.Certain physical quantities have been chosen as base quantities (such as length, time, and mass); each has been defined in terms of a standard and given a unit of measure (such as meter,second, and kilogram). Other physical quantities are defined in terms of the base quantities and their standards and units.   Measuring Things We discover physics by learning how to measure the quantities involved in physics . Among these quantities are length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, and electric current. We measure each physical quantity in its own units, by comparison with a standard. The unit is a unique name we assign to measures of that quantity—for example, meter (m) for the quantity length. The standard corresponds to exactly 1.0 unit of the quantity. As you will see, the standard for length, which corresponds. Classification of physical quantities(derived and fundamental or base quanti...

Is said to be in its index form . A form where it possesses a base digit and a power digit. These are instances  of some units in their index form. 2^-3 3^a a^c d^0.5 We begin from the first to the last law of indices as written below: ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡  1. MULTIPLICATION LAW; a^b *a^c= a^(b+c) 2^3*2^2=2^(3+2)=2^5=32 to confirm; 2^3*2^2=(2*2*2)*(2*2)=8*4=32 note carefully, this can only be made possible if both bases are equal a^b*d^c = (ad)^b+c 2. DIVISION LAW; a^b /a^c= a^(b-c) 2^3/2^2=2^(3-2)=2^1=2 provided there is an absence of an unequal base 3. zero index LAW ; a^0= 1;        provide a is not the same as ze...
