EXPLANATION
Question: Which branch of physics deals with the study of motion and forces?
- a) Thermodynamics
- b) Optics
- c) Mechanics
- d) Electromagnetism
ANSWER: c) Mechanics
EXPLANATION:
The branch of physics that deals with the study of motion and forces is c) Mechanics. Mechanics encompasses the study of the motion of objects, the causes of motion (forces), and the effects of forces on objects. It includes classical mechanics, which describes the motion of macroscopic objects under the influence of forces, as well as quantum mechanics, which deals with the behavior of particles at the microscopic level. Thermodynamics focuses on the study of energy and heat transfer, optics deals with the behavior of light, and electromagnetism deals with the study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions.
