PHYSICS
A branch of science concerned
with the nature and properties
of matter and energy.
BRANCHES OF PHYSICS
“Where do you see physics in your daily life?”
“What would happen if physics suddenly stopped
working?”
“Have you ever wondered why helmets are required on
motorcycles or how airbags protect people in car
accidents?”

PHYSICS AT HOME
Vacuum Cleaner: When you push a
vacuum cleaner forward (Newton’s
2nd Law), it accelerates in the
direction of the force.
Refrigerator Door: The door resists
opening if closed for a while due to
suction and inertia (Newton’s 1st Law).
Newton’s Laws of Motion

PHYSICS AT HOME
Cooking on a Stove: Heat transfers
from the burner to the pan through
conduction.
Drying clothes in the sun: involves radiation
(from sunlight), conduction (within the cloth),
and convection (air movement), all working
together to transfer heat and remove moisture.
Heat Transfer

Television or Radio: Converts electrical
signals into sound waves using speakers
(vibration of a diaphragm).
Doorbell: Converts electrical energy
into sound energy using
electromagnets and mechanical parts.

PHYSICS FOR SAFETY
Seatbelts (Newton’s 1st Law - Inertia): In a
sudden stop, a person’s body wants to keep
moving. Seatbelts provide the force needed to
stop your motion with the vehicle, reducing the
risk of injury.
Airbags (Newton’s 2nd Law - Acceleration):
Airbags reduce the force on passengers by
increasing the time over which momentum
changes, minimizing injury from collisions.

PHYSICS FOR SAFETY
Shoe Soles and Flooring: High-friction materials
prevent slipping and falling. Friction between feet
and floor provides stability while walking or
running.
Car Tires: Treads and rubber composition
maximize friction to maintain control, especially on
wet or icy roads.

PHYSICS FOR SAFETY
Helmet Design: Helmets reduce the impact
force by absorbing kinetic energy through
foam or padding, protecting the skull and
brain.
