13、ces because all sciences overlap(重疊)In general，however，physics is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat，light，sound，pressure，gravity and electricity，and the ways they affect other objects.One major branch of physics deals with the states of mattersolids，liquids and gases and with

14、 their motions.The pioneer achievements of Galileo，Kepler and Newton dealt with solid masses of matter in motion.Such studies deal with forces acting on moving objects.It is the subject of mechanics and belongs to the branch of mechanics called dynamics，the study of matter in motion.This large topic

15、 includes not only the motions of stars and ping­pong balls but also the motions of the water pumped by a fire engine and those of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane.A branch of mechanics is statics，the study of matter at rest.The designs of buildings and bridges are examples
