An exact science is a field of science that rigorously tests its hypothesises with precise experiments, predictions and measurements. For this reason, both Physics and Chemistry - but not Biology - are considered as exact sciences.

Why is physics called the exact science?

Physics is often called the "exact science" because it relies heavily on mathematical models to describe and predict the behavior of natural phenomena. These models have been developed through rigorous experimentation and testing, leading to precise and highly accurate predictions about the physical world.


What is difference between bs physics and bsc physics?

There is really none. Both "B.S." and "B.Sc." are used as abbreviations for "Bachelor of Science", a university degree offered for perhaps 5 years of study in areas considered to be associated with the exact sciences. For other studies you'll get a "Bachelor of Arts" instead.


Is ballistics an exact science?

Ballistics is a scientific field that studies the behavior of projectiles, but it is not always exact due to variables such as environmental factors, materials used, and human error. While it incorporates physics and mathematics to analyze projectile motion, there can still be uncertainties and limitations in predicting outcomes with absolute precision.


What is instantaneous velocity in physics?

Instantaneous velocity in physics is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time. It is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time at that exact instant. Mathematically, it is given by the derivative of the position function with respect to time.


Do the laws of physics imply free will?

The laws of physics describe how matter and energy interact, but they do not directly address the concept of free will. Free will involves the ability to make choices and decisions independently of deterministic physical processes. The relationship between free will and the laws of physics is a philosophical and metaphysical question that remains open to interpretation.

What degree do you need to become a meteorologist?

Meteorology or Atmospheric Science is the most common. Depending on the exact job, you will find people with degrees in physics, engineering, environmental science, computer science....


What is the different between maths and science?

Answer: Mathematics are the tools of science Answer: Mathematics is ONE major branch of science; there are other branches of science. Mathematics is used in the other "exact sciences", for example in physics or chemistry.


2 major division of science?

I'd suggest the two major divisions would be that separating the life sciences (botany, biology, anthropology ..) from the 'exact sciences' (physics, chemistry, astronomy, nuclear physics ..).


Is geometry an exact science?

Geometry is not a science but it is exact.

What do physics do?

This question maybe should be rephrased to something like: What is physics about? Physics is the study of the natural laws that govern nature. Physicists go about 'discovering' these laws and spend substantial time verifying the discoveries and determining all the consequences. Physics may be an exact or nearly exact science, but it is not perfectly mathematical. That is laws are never proven but only hypothesized. Then everyone goes about looking for an exception. The proof is never complete as the law is never mathematically derived and is always subject to revision.

Is estimation considered as uncertainly to some extent?

Yes, there is some uncertainty. Estimation is not an exact science. It is someone's best educated guess.

Why most of Nobel prize winners in physics are Jewish?

I don't think "most" is the correct term, but I do understand that the percentage of Jews is exceptionally high, considering the small number of Jews worldwide.I am not sure about the exact reasons; but it is possible that part of the explanation is that some other religions have certain negative attitudes towards knowledge and science, and that may have had a negative influence on the number of their people who studied advanced science.
