As physics is the study of energy and matter, a more systematic, but less traditional
way of overviewing physics is to examine the various categories of energy and matter:
- Mechanical Energy (Motion of Objects)
- Electrical Energy
- Magnetic Energy
- Thermal Energy (a.k.a. Heat Energy)
- Electromagnetic Energy (e.g. Light Energy)
- Acoustic Energy (a.k.a. Sound Energy)
- Chemical Energy
- Nuclear Energy
- Solid Matter
- Liquid Matter
- Gaseous Matter
- Plasma Matter (A gas of charged particles)
- Macroscopic Matter
- Molecular Matter
- Atomic Matter
- Electronic and Nuclear Matter
- Quarks (Quarkal Matter? lol!)
