Physics should be studied on a walking tour. Deep understanding of physics normally requires years of study. The physics curriculum resembles a spiral staircase. As you circle around revisiting topics at higher and higher levels, your understanding grows. Climbing higher depends on passing the steps below in sequence.
Advanced courses depend critically on their lower level prerequisites.
Here you learn how and why ordinary objects move as they do. The deep significance of these quantities dawns on you after you study physics for a few years. You also study how energy is transferred by heating, how random thermal energy can be harnessed to perform useful work, and how the amount of thermal energy available for useful work is steadily diminishing. Finally, you study the fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism, the basis for so much of modern technology. So you start with Galileo in the 1600's, progress through Isaac Newton, and end up with James Clerk Maxwell in the mid-1800's.
