Physics (Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time, as well as all applicable concepts, such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics had been considered synonymous with philosophy, chemistry, and certain branches of mathematics and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th century, it emerged to become a unique modern science in its own right. However, in some subject areas such as in mathematical physics and quantum chemistry, the boundaries of physics remain difficult to distinguish. Physics is both significant and influential, in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies, but also because new ideas in physics often resonate with other sciences, mathematics, and philosophy. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development of motorized transport; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

Kindly note that it should be a one-stop textbook, in the sense that all fundamental physics topics should be covered in one book. Hence, please don't advise books that specifically deal with electromagnetism or quantum physics, for example. Thank you!

ISBN 81-7709-187-5 The first book I listed is best, according to me, but only to a certain extent, since it has some casual/"unofficial" explanations. Halliday/Resnick is a best choice for serious students seeking to gain mastery of the topic. Answered by akshay.infosys - Mon Nov 19 04:01:06 2007 What is the physics behind a ballista catapult? Q. We are doing a powerpoint about our ballista-esque catapult for a 9 weeks exam grade. We used bungee cord What is the physics behind our catapult? Asked by pickflowers.notfights - Sun Jan 11 12:10:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. if you are asking about the targeting and maximum range of ballista catapult then the physics behind the ballista catapult and like ballistic missile is projectile motion. projectile motion is a type of motion in which the body cover two distances. first vertical distance and second horizantal distance. The maximum range of projectile, time of flight of projectile, angle of projection etc can be determined by different formula. contact me if you want to know more.
