To determine

The right option.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The correct option is “d. all of the above”.

Explanation of Solution

Physics is a field of study that governs the motion and energy of all physical objects throughout the universe. From the smallest particles including the subatomic particles to the largest particles including the stars and moons, physics studies about their motion, the energy associated, and the physical properties of the matter.

Therefore, Physics is a field of study that governs how the planets moving around the sun, the rate of blood flows through a person’s veins, and how a helium balloon will rise into the air. So, from the explanation it concludes that the terms given in all options are correct. Hence, the right option is d.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct option is “d. all of the above”.
