What importance of studying physics in health science?
Understanding musculoskeletal injuries is mainly accomplished through understanding physics. The force behind a car impact going x speed on a 68 year old male of x pounds will exert x pounds per square inch across his ribs. Also understand that the internal organs will be going the same speed as the body and will have a "bad time" when the ribcage that is holding them suddenly stops and they are thrown up against it. Can a set of lungs survive the trauma of suddenly stopping from a 140mph impact with your ribs? Learn physics and you can learn an important part of Trauma. Health Science is the first step to understanding medical care. Also for the non-trauma related. What force is applied to a runner's knees repetitively if they are going x miles at x speed and weigh x pounds? How fast will the knee cartilage wear out under x load? This can be learned through physics.
