What is Science?
Science is the body of knowledge about nature
It is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation
of natural phenomena
Science is a (human) activity
that requires study and method

(molecules, matter)Physics
It’s about the nature of basic things (motion,
forces, energy, matter, heat, sound, light,and the insides
of atoms

Dimensional Analysis
• Dimension denotes the physical nature of a quantity
[L] Length[T] Time[M] Mass
• Dimensional analysis is used to check mathematical relations for the consistency of their dimensions.
