I am currently doing Applied physics in College. In my particular college, applied physics is coursework based, there are no exams whereas for Physics, there are.

Applied physics, at my college, involves a lot of practical work and stems into fields of Biology and Chemistry alongside Physics, focusing on all three for a first year during a National Diploma course, and only physics during the second year.

Generally, Applied Physics refers to the use of physics; how it is used in various fields eg engineering. Whereas, Physics or sometimes called Pure Physics can be more theoretical, new research, new areas to explore.

The work being done at CERN in Europe, the large hadron collider where atomic particles are being collided would be Physics. The two fields will largely overlap and the discoveries made in Physics will leak into Applied Physics.

Is there any relation between moments in physics and statistics?

i think you don's understand difference between MOMENT & MOMENTUM MOMENT is use in statics means FORCE INTO PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE. MOMENTUM is use in physics means MASS INTO VELOCITY.actually both are part of physics so we ca't ask like this MOMENT IN PHYSICS AND STATICS??
