What are some real life examples of physics?

Question

I'm doing a project for physics and I can't think of any more examples of physics in everyday life.
Not too complex please, I'm looking for things like waves on a beach (Simple Harmonic Motion), or night vision, binoculars, microscopes, ect...
Be as abstract as you like, thanks.

Answer 1

The answers you received are great. But I laughed when I saw the question title itself, becaue EVERYTHING is physics!
- the speed of raindrops down a window, the angle of raindrops on a car side window, the melting of snow by salt, the crunch of a car when two cars collide, the angle billiard balls bounce at, the sound a glass makes when you hit it, the mechanism that makes planets bend toward the light, the ...

We all could go on forever!

Inertia-when you drive around a curve, you are "pushed" toward the outside of the curve

Projectile motion- When you want to throw the ball a greater distance, you have to increase the elevation at which you throw it.

Rotational inertia- You can balance easily on a bicycle when it's moving, but it's nearly impossible when the wheels aren't rotating.

Answer 3

every action has its equal or opposite reaction you can use that theory with almost anything not just matter but other stuff too I'm sorry i try to act smart but i am not sorry see that right there my action of answering a question that clearly is way out of my league caused me too react with guilt for taking up you're time...one the one hand you must think im a idiot and on the other i know i am an idiot both equally devastating ha ha disregard this I'm a turd

Answer 4

In baseball, a curve ball curves due to the Magnus effect in fluid dynamics. Same reason a golf ball slices or hooks.

Answer 5

How about your eye glasses - people with astigmatisms can get prismatic lenses to correct the wavyness of their vision.

Answer 6

Check out gravity waves.
