Physics is a natural science that studies matter and the forces that act upon it. Physics may also refer to:
Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion, and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its speed or direction to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion. It is one of the primary manifestations of mass, one of the core quantitative properties of physical systems. Newton writes:
LAW I. Every object perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, except insofar as it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon.
Physics is the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves. A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.
Natural science is one of the branches of science concerned with the description, understanding and prediction of natural phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. Mechanisms such as peer review and repeatability of findings are used to try to ensure the validity of scientific advances.
Interface or interfacing may refer to:
Reaction may refer to a process or to a response to an action, event, or exposure.
Classical may refer to:
Natural philosophy or philosophy of nature is the philosophical study of physics, that is, nature and the physical universe. It was dominant before the development of modern science.
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe.
Conservation is the preservation or efficient use of resources, or the conservation of various quantities under physical laws.
A surface, as the term is most generally used, is the outermost or uppermost layer of a physical object or space.

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.
Aristotelian may refer to:
IOP Publishing is the publishing company of the Institute of Physics. It provides publications through which scientific research is distributed worldwide, including journals, community websites, magazines, conference proceedings and books. The Institute of Physics is a scientific charity devoted to increasing the practice, understanding and application of physics. Any financial surplus earned by IOP Publishing goes to support physics through the activities of the Institute.
Ann. Phys. can refer to several physics journals:

Chemistry may refer to several publications:
Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets.
The social sciences are academic disciplines concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society.
