* Kinematics: Describes motion using concepts like displacement, velocity, and
acceleration.
* Dynamics: Explores the causes of motion, such as Newton's laws of motion and
gravity.
* Thermodynamics: Deals with heat, temperature, and energy transfer.
* Laws of Thermodynamics: Govern the behavior of heat and energy, including the
conservation of energy.
* Electromagnetism: Investigates the relationship between electricity and
magnetism.
