ITT – Over the last two years, Physics was taught not only in the international school but also has been implemented. So, students must be supported popular Physics terms in English in order to study well.
Physics researches on the structure, properties and methods of physical movement, to answer questions related to the existence and development of human beings, or the broader meaning is to explore the universe, which helps people can see the world clearly and transparently.
Physics is difficult to acquire because of difficult laws, formulas, and confusing Physics terms in English. To answer a huge volume of exercises, students must meet the requirements of speed. However, to solve problems quickly, students must understand and use Physics terms in English expertly. Here is a list of popular terms will help your learning process.
