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…
