Thanks,

My Notes:
Physics comes from the Greek word called “Physis” which means “Nature” or “Knowledge of Nature”.
Physics talks about matter and energy.
Matter is anything that has mass and fills a space. State of matter is Solid, Liquid and Gas
Energy is the ability to do work.

The knowledge of physics helped inventors make inventions, the modern inventions were made by the knowledge inventors had.
Physics is a fundamental science because it explains natural phenomena (a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question.) on earth. And Physics explains Biology, Chemistry and other subjects as well
