The list is near endless when it comes to how physics can affect our daily life. For example, just walking is a part of physics in our daily life.
Here is a list of some of the ways physics touches our daily life:
Here is a list of some of the ways physics touches our daily life:
- Motion can be explained using physics as part of the laws of mechanics and thermodynamics.
- When we eat, we convert food to mechanical energy. While this is a physics concept, eating is also chemistry because the food is digested under a chemical reaction that is then able to produce energy and thus mechanical energy.
- Items that you use at home can be the work of physics like pressure cookers, washing machines, fridges, television, stereos, computers, and cars. They are all designed with principles from physics.
- Speaking is another study of physics since pitch and intensity is part of sound and sound is physics.
- Cars can be mentioned again since they are an important aspect of physics that we use in our daily life. When driving you use brakes to stop, the gas for going forward or backward; the entire engine is based on physics.
- Electricity includes many aspects of science given that we use it to power things. One of the first lessons most of us are given in physics is how a battery can be used to light a bulb.
