Physics is spread everywhere in our lives, only thing is that not many people are able to see it...

1. when we walk, we push the ground backwards, and the ground pushes us forward in
accordance with newton's 3rd law... infact we walk only due to presence of frictional force, we
do work against friction to walk
2. An airplane flies due to application of bernoulli's theorem, based on conservation of energy
3. we tend to move forward when sudden brakes are applied- newton's law of inertia
4. we tilt towards the centre while riding in a circular path, due to centripetal force
5. when a hot cup of tea is left for cooling, its rate of cooling varies directly with the temp of the
surroundings- newton's law of cooling
6. we stay stuck to the earth due to gravitational force of the earth
7. the frequency of sound heard by us of a distant vehicle coming towards us or going away from
us changes, this is due to doppler effect
8. the most important: we see this world colourful, only bcoz evrery object reflects light of a
typical wavelength, associated with a unique colour
9. we see a rainbow, due to dispersion of light by water droplets in atmosphere
10. we feel warm when standing in sunlight,. because the sun sends energy to us in form of
electromagnetic radiations, which get converted into heat
there could be millions of more examples but i cannot think of more at this moment of time!

Physics in daily life examples:


1)We walk, walk fast, run, jog, jump into a bus etc. All these or any type of motion is
associated with Newton's law of motion.
2) When we talk, our vocal cords vibrate producing sound.
3) When we eat food, the chemical energy of the food is being converted into mechanical
energy which we use to do different types of work.
4). The electricity is our house is a gift of Physics. Hydroelectric project is the method in
which water is used to generate electricity. The mechanical energy of the water is
converted into electrical energy using dynamo.
5.refrigerator works on the principles of thermodynamics
6. Pressure cookers, washing machines, music system, computers all work on the
principle of Physics.
7. Automobiles, trains, aircraft all work on the concepts of Physics.
8. While you are reading this article the working of your eye is similar to the working of a
camera which again belongs to Physics.
9. Mobile phones working on microwaves also uses Physics to connect people from
different parts of the world.
10. Writing using Pen, writing on whiteboard using marker all are the sole properties of
Physics.
11. Rain, snowfall, lightening, thunder, wind, sea breeze etc all owe their existence to the
laws of Physics

As mentioned in the beginning, the above list is endless. Any phenomenon of our daily
life you consider, we an surely bring Physics in it.
