Aeroplanes
Flight physics is critical in aviation. Aerodynamics manages the forces that act on an aeroplane’s wings to allow it to fly. Bernoulli’s principle and Newton’s laws of motion are essential concepts for designing and operating aircraft.

Cell phones
If you say you don’t have a cell phone, people will think you are an alien. For user interaction, the touchscreen makes use of changes in electrical charge. Wireless communication involves the transmission of electromagnetic waves. The device’s components, such as the batteries and microchips, operate on electromagnetism and electrical circuit principles. This clearly explains…

Refrigerators
Refrigerators work on thermodynamic and heat transfer principles. Refrigerators use the process of heat transfer to remove the heat from inside and release it outside. The refrigerator’s continual sequence of compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation allows it to keep a low temperature and preserve our food and beverages.

Fans
Fans, the most needed thing in summer, depend on fluid dynamics and electromagnetic concepts. When a fan is turned on, the blades inside it revolve. As the blades rotate, they produce a low-pressure zone behind them. This low-pressure zone encourages air to flow from higher-pressure places, such as the surrounding room, to the fan. The…

Roller coasters
Concepts such as gravity, acceleration, and inertia are used here. The roller coaster is initially dragged up a steep hill, storing potential energy. The potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when it rises the slope, ending in an exciting drop. The track’s twists, bends, and loops influence forces like gravity and centripetal force, resulting…

Ballpoint pen
People say the pen is mightier than the sword. Physics plays a major role in using a pen as a tool for writing. The design of the ball pen explains the physics facts in everyday life. When you use a ballpoint pen, it involves principles of fluid dynamics and friction. There is a small spherical…

Alarm clock
Most of us hate the sound of the alarm clock and love to press the snooze button. The annoying sound that wakes you up is a classic example of physics in daily life. The sound which you can’t see but only hear travels in the waveform. Mechanical energy conversion concepts are used in alarm clocks.…

Walking and Running
One of the simple examples of physics in everyday life is the frictional force which helps us to walk or run easily. It acts like a “grip” between your shoes and the ground, which helps you to walk or run without slipping. It depends on two factors; one is the surface you are walking on…

BERKELEY NEWS – PHYSICS
Berkeley News is UC Berkeley’s main news and information engine. They cover a wide variety of topics but you can also find amazing physics articles to get your physics fix. “Zapping hydrogen gas with 168 lasers transforms it into a metal” is my personal fave. You can also follow them on Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date…
