What is the influence of physics in natural science?

Everything in the world contains matter and energy (the things that physical scientists are most interested in) and the same rules apply to these in natural as well as artificial envionments. You might ask, for example, why don't beetles grow as large as elephants? The physical reason is that if a sheet of material in a beetle's exoskeleton is twice as long as another, it will have to be twice as thick to be relatively as strong and therefore four times heavier. A beetle the size of an elephant would be too heavy to move itself and would therefore die of starvation. An understanding of physics provides a basis for understanding lots of things in the natural world.

A bay formed by a long curve in a coastline is called a "bay." It is a body of water partially enclosed by land and open to the sea on one side. Bays are often sheltered and provide a natural harbor for ships.


What is the structure of natural fiber?

Natural fibers are made up of long chains of molecules called polymers, which are composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These polymers are organized into fibrils, which are further grouped into fibers. The arrangement of these fibers contributes to the strength and flexibility of natural fibers.

Why is chemistry the mother of all sciences?

Chemistry is often called the "mother of all sciences" because it is at the intersection of physics and biology, studying the composition, properties, and interactions of matter. Many other branches of science, such as physics, biology, geology, and environmental science, rely on principles and concepts from chemistry to better understand the natural world. Similarly, advancements in chemistry have led to breakthroughs in other scientific fields.


Is physics is important?

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It depends on what you mean by important. The ideas inside Physics describe all the motion that occurs in the Universe, some of which keeps you alive. In that way, Physics is very important. However, you could live a long and happy life without and formal understanding of Physics.
