Hey!

The word physics is derived from a Greek word φσις (Physica), meaning "nature". Physics can also be defined as a natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force.

In Greek, the word Physics originated in the late 15th century. But, in India, physics has been one of the integral parts of our ancestors' lives. In epics like Ramayana and Mahabharatha, many physics experiments and theories have been used.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Physics can also be defined as " that department of knowledge which relates to the order of nature or in other words,to the regular successions of events. Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time along with related concepts such as energy and force.
