Physics is the science of nature. Physical bodies and physical phenomena – Knowledge Hypermarket

Forward >>>

We are surrounded by an infinitely diverse world of substances and phenomena.

Changes are constantly taking place in it.

Any changes that occur to bodies are called phenomena. The birth of stars, the change of day and night, the melting of ice, the swelling of buds on trees, the flash of lightning during a thunderstorm, and so on - all these are natural phenomena.

Physical phenomena

Let us remember that bodies are made of substances. Note that during some phenomena the substances of bodies do not change, but during others they do. For example, if you tear a piece of paper in half, then, despite the changes that have occurred, the paper will remain paper. If you burn the paper, it will turn into ash and smoke.

Phenomena in which the size, shape of bodies, the state of substances may change, but substances remain the same, do not transform into others, are called physical phenomena (evaporation of water, glow of a light bulb, sound of strings musical instrument etc.).

Physical phenomena are extremely diverse. Among them there are mechanical, thermal, electrical, light and etc.

Let's remember how clouds float across the sky, an airplane flies, a car drives, an apple falls, a cart rolls, etc. In all of the above phenomena, objects (bodies) move. Phenomena associated with a change in the position of a body in relation to other bodies are called mechanical(translated from Greek “mechane” means machine, weapon).

Many phenomena are caused by alternating heat and cold. In this case, changes occur in the properties of the bodies themselves. They change shape, size, the state of these bodies changes. For example, when heated, ice turns into water, water into steam; When the temperature drops, steam turns into water, and water into ice. Phenomena associated with heating and cooling of bodies are called thermal(Fig. 35).


Rice. 35. Physical phenomenon: transition of a substance from one state to another. If you freeze drops of water, ice will form again

Let's consider electric phenomena. The word "electricity" comes from the Greek word "electron" - amber. Remember that when you quickly take off your wool sweater, you hear a slight cracking noise. If you do the same in complete darkness, you will also see sparks. This is the simplest electrical phenomenon.

To get acquainted with another electrical phenomenon, do the following experiment.

Tear small pieces of paper and place them on the table surface. Comb clean and dry hair with a plastic comb and hold it to the pieces of paper. What happened?


Rice. 36. Small pieces of paper are attracted to the comb

Bodies that are capable of attracting light objects after rubbing are called electrified(Fig. 36). Lightning during a thunderstorm, auroras, electrification of paper and synthetic fabrics are all electrical phenomena. Operation of telephone, radio, TV, various household appliances- These are examples of human use of electrical phenomena.

Phenomena that are associated with light are called light phenomena. Light is emitted by the Sun, stars, lamps and some living creatures, such as fireflies. Such bodies are called glowing.

We see under the condition of exposure to light on the retina of the eye. In absolute darkness we cannot see. Objects that do not themselves emit light (for example, trees, grass, the pages of this book, etc.) are visible only when they receive light from some luminous body and reflect it from their surface.

The moon, which we often talk about as a night luminary, is in fact only a kind of reflector of sunlight.

By studying the physical phenomena of nature, man learned to use them in Everyday life, everyday life

In 1979, the Gorky People's University of Scientific and Technical Creativity released methodological materials for its new development, "Comprehensive method for searching for new technical solutions"We plan to introduce site readers to this interesting development, which in many ways was significantly ahead of its time. But today we offer you to familiarize yourself with a fragment of the third part teaching materials, published under the title "Arrays of Information". The list of physical effects proposed in it includes only 127 items. Now specialized computer programs offer more detailed versions of physical effects indexes, but for a user who is still “not covered” by software support, the table of applications of physical effects created in Gorky is of interest. Its practical benefit is that at the input the solver had to indicate which function from those listed in the table it wants to provide and which type of energy it plans to use (as they would say now, indicate resources). The numbers in the cells of the table are the numbers of physical effects in the list. Each physical effect is provided with references to literary sources (unfortunately, almost all of them are currently bibliographic rarities).
The work was carried out by a team that included teachers from Gorky People's University: M.I. Vainerman, B.I. Goldovsky, V.P. Gorbunov, L.A. Zapolyansky, V.T. Korelov, V.G. Kryazhev, A.V. Mikhailov, A.P. Sokhin, Yu.N. Shelomok. The material presented to the reader’s attention is compact, and therefore can be used as handouts in classes at public schools of technical creativity.

The world is diverse - no matter how banal this statement may be, it really is. Everything that happens in the world is under the close attention of scientists. They have known some things for a long time, others still need to be discovered. Man, a curious creature, has always tried to know the world and the changes taking place in it. Such changes in the surrounding world are called “physical phenomena”. These include rain, wind, lightning, rainbows, and other similar natural effects.

Changes in the world around us are numerous and varied. Curious people could not stay away without trying to find the answer to the question of what caused such interesting physical phenomena.

It all started with the process of observing the world around us, which led to the accumulation of data. But even simple observation of nature evoked certain thoughts. Many physical phenomena, while remaining unchanged, manifested themselves in different ways. For example: the sun rises at different times, it rains or snows from the sky, a thrown stick flies either far or close. Why is this happening?

The appearance of such questions becomes evidence of the gradual development of human perception of the world, the transition from contemplative observation to active study of the environment. It is clear that each changing, manifesting differently physical phenomenon only accelerated this active study. As a result, attempts to experimentally understand nature appeared.

The first experiments looked quite simple, for example: if you throw a stick like this, will it fly far? What if you throw the stick differently? This is already an experimental study of the behavior of a physical body in flight, a step towards establishing a quantitative connection between it and the conditions that cause this flight.

Of course, everything that has been said is a very simplified and primitive presentation of attempts to study the world around us. But, in any case, even if in a primitive form, it makes it possible to consider the occurring physical phenomena as the basis for the emergence and development of science.

In this case, it does not matter what kind of science it is. The basis of any cognition process is observation of what is happening, the accumulation of initial data. Let it be physics with its study of the surrounding world, let it be biology studying nature, astronomy trying to understand the Universe - in any case, the process will proceed the same.

The physical phenomena themselves may be different. To be more precise, their nature will be different: rain is caused by some reasons, a rainbow by others, lightning by others. It took a very long time in the history of human civilization to understand this fact.

The science of physics studies various natural phenomena and its laws. It was she who established a quantitative connection between the various properties of objects, or, as physicists say, bodies, and the essence of these phenomena.

During the study there appeared special tools, research methods, units of measurement that allow us to describe what is happening. Knowledge about the world around us expanded, the results obtained led to new discoveries, and new tasks were put forward. There was a gradual identification of new specialties involved in solving specific applied problems. This is how heat engineering, the science of electricity, optics, and many, many other areas of knowledge within physics itself began to appear - not to mention the fact that other sciences appeared that dealt with completely different problems. But in any case, it must be recognized that observation and study of the phenomena of the surrounding world allowed, over time, the formation of numerous new branches of knowledge that contributed to the development of civilization.

In the end it worked out the whole system studying and mastering the world, surrounding nature and man himself - from simple observation of physical phenomena.

This material describes physical phenomena as the basis for the formation and education of science, in particular physics. An idea is given of how the development of science took place, its stages such as observation of what is happening, experimental verification of facts and conclusions, and formulation of laws are considered.

Ticket No. 1

1. What does physics study? Some physical terms. Observations and experiments. Physical quantities. Measurement of physical quantities. Accuracy and error of measurements.

Physics is the science of the most general properties bodies and phenomena.

How does a person understand the world? How does he explore natural phenomena, obtaining scientific knowledge about him?

A person receives his very first knowledge from observations behind nature.

To obtain the correct knowledge, sometimes simple observation is not enough and you need to carry out experiment – ​​specially prepared experiment .

Experiments are carried out by scientists a predetermined plan with a specific purpose .

During the experiments measurements are taken using special instruments of physical quantities. Examples physical quantities are: distance, volume, speed, temperature.

So, the source of physical knowledge is observations and experiments.

Physical laws are based and verified on facts established empirically. An equally important way of knowing is theoretical description of the phenomenon . Physical theories make it possible to explain known phenomena and predict new, not yet discovered ones.

Changes that occur with bodies are called physical phenomena.

Physical phenomena are divided into several types.

Types of physical phenomena:

1. Mechanical phenomena (for example, the movement of cars, airplanes, celestial bodies, fluid flow).

2. Electrical phenomena(for example, electric current, heating of current-carrying conductors, electrification of bodies).

3. Magnetic phenomena (for example, the effect of magnets on iron, the influence of the Earth’s magnetic field on a compass needle).

4. Optical phenomena (for example, reflection of light from mirrors, emission of light rays from various light sources).

5. Thermal phenomena (melting ice, boiling water, thermal expansion of bodies).

6. Atomic phenomena (for example, work nuclear reactors, nuclear decay, processes occurring inside stars).

7. Sound phenomena (bell ringing, music, thunder, noise).

Physical terms- these are special words that are used in physics for brevity, certainty and convenience.

Physical body– this is every object around us. (Showing physical bodies: pen, book, desk)

Substance- this is everything that physical bodies are made of. (Showing physical bodies consisting of different substances)

Matter- this is everything that exists in the Universe regardless of our consciousness (celestial bodies, plants, animals, etc.)

Physical phenomena- these are changes that occur with physical bodies.

Physical quantities- these are the measurable properties of bodies or phenomena.

Physical devices- This special devices, which are intended for measuring physical quantities and conducting experiments.


Physical quantities:
height h, mass m, path s, speed v, time t, temperature t, volume V, etc.

Units of measurement of physical quantities:

International System of Units SI:

(international system)


Basic:

Length - 1 m - (meter)

Time - 1 s - (second)

Weight - 1 kg - (kilogram)

Derivatives:

Volume - 1 m³ - (cubic meter)

Speed ​​- 1 m/s - (meter per second)


In this expression:

number 10 - numeric value time,

the letter “s” is an abbreviation for a unit of time (second),

and the combination of 10 s is the time value.

Prefixes to unit names:

To make it easier to measure physical quantities, in addition to the basic units, multiple units are used, which are 10, 100, 1000, etc. more basic

g - hecto (×100) k – kilo (× 1000) M – mega (× 1000 000)

1 km (kilometer) 1 kg (kilogram)

1 km = 1000 m = 10³ m 1 kg = 1000 g = 10³ g

Everything that surrounds us: both living and inanimate nature, is in constant motion and is constantly changing: planets and stars move, it rains, trees grow. And a person, as is known from biology, constantly goes through some stages of development. Grinding grains into flour, falling a stone, boiling water, lightning, glowing a light bulb, dissolving sugar in tea, movement Vehicle, lightning, rainbows are examples of physical phenomena.

And with substances (iron, water, air, salt, etc.) various changes or phenomena occur. The substance can be crystallized, melted, crushed, dissolved and again isolated from solution. However, its composition will remain the same.

Thus, granulated sugar can be crushed into a powder so fine that the slightest blow will cause it to rise into the air like dust. Sugar grains can only be seen under a microscope. Sugar can be divided into even smaller parts by dissolving it in water. If you evaporate water from a sugar solution, the sugar molecules again combine with each other to form crystals. But even when dissolved in water or when crushed, sugar remains sugar.

In nature, water forms rivers and seas, clouds and glaciers. When water evaporates, it turns into steam. Water vapor is water in a gaseous state. When exposed low temperatures(below 0˚C) water turns into a solid state - turns into ice. The smallest particle of water is a water molecule. A water molecule is also the smallest particle of steam or ice. Water, ice and steam are not different substances, but the same substance (water) in different states of aggregation.

Like water, other substances can be transferred from one state of aggregation to another.

When characterizing a substance as a gas, liquid or solid, we mean the state of the substance under normal conditions. Any metal can not only be melted (transformed into a liquid state), but also turned into gas. But this requires very high temperatures. In the outer shell of the Sun, metals are in a gaseous state, because the temperature there is 6000˚C. And, for example, carbon dioxide by cooling it can be turned into “dry ice”.

Phenomena in which there is no transformation of one substance into another are classified as physical phenomena. Physical phenomena can lead to a change, for example, in the state of aggregation or temperature, but the composition of the substances will remain the same.

All physical phenomena can be divided into several groups.

Mechanical phenomena are phenomena that occur with physical bodies when they move relative to each other (the revolution of the Earth around the Sun, the movement of cars, the flight of a parachutist).

Electrical phenomena are phenomena that occur with the appearance, existence, movement and interaction of electric charges (electric current, telegraphy, lightning during a thunderstorm).

Magnetic phenomena are phenomena associated with the appearance of magnetic properties in physical bodies (the attraction of iron objects by a magnet, turning the compass needle to the north).

Optical phenomena are phenomena that occur during the propagation, refraction and reflection of light (rainbows, mirages, reflection of light from a mirror, the appearance of shadows).

Thermal phenomena are phenomena that occur during heating and cooling of physical bodies (melting snow, boiling water, fog, freezing of water).

Atomic phenomena are phenomena that occur when internal structure substances of physical bodies (glow of the Sun and stars, atomic explosion).
