Physics is the study of how things work. Physics seeks to explain the basic interactions of matter and energy. It studies matter, motion, space, and time. Generally, it is the scientific analysis of nature in order to try to understand how the universe behaves

It is the science that for centuries was called Natural Philosophy. Over the years, it has branched into specialties such as mechanics, properties of matter, heat, astronomy, sound, electricity and magnetism, light and optics, atomic and nuclear, relativity, astronomy, quantum mechanics, and many others. One can specialize in these narrower areas of physics as one wishes. Introductory courses usually review the various fields to show how concepts of matter, energy, power, and time interconnect.

Applied Physics is generally called engineering. The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and Biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.

The adjective "physical" is usually used in reference to the human body. It is sometimes used colloquially to refer to intense bodily activity or violent bodily contact as observed in certain sports. It can also refer to the three-dimensional real world we live in. More specifically, it refers to matter, whether animate or inanimate. Matter is anything which takes up space, has mass, and exists in four fundamental states of solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. We can perceive matter with our five senses and so for us is considered real. But since we are physical beings who live in a physical world, there may be more to reality than this. There may exist a supernatural world. However we do not live in that world and cannot perceive it with our senses. We can't take a ghost or a spirit and measure it, or observe it with a telescope or microscope, or experiment with it in the laboratory. This is where religion and faith come into play. Science deals with that which is physical while religion deals with that which is spiritual.

What is a physical may refer to a physical examination by a medical professional.
