  • Automobile

    Several physics ideas are incorporated into automobiles. The engine uses combustion and thermodynamic principles to transform fuel into mechanical energy. The interaction of forces such as friction, inertia, and aerodynamics is involved in vehicle dynamics.

  • Batteries

    Batteries are an essential part of physics in daily life. A chemical reaction happens inside a battery, resulting in an electron flow. This flow generates electric current by creating an electrical potential difference between the battery’s terminals. Our devices are powered by the flow of electrons through the circuit. Electron behaviour is governed by physics…

  • 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…
