Physics In Our Everyday Life
Physics is not something that only knowledgeable scientist think about
because physics coincides with our everyday life. They consist of
energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, conservation of energy,
velocity, acceleration, mass, force, and gravity.
Fist there is energy. You need to go to bed early so you will
have energy in the morning to go to school. Energy gives you the e
ability to do work. Energy is everywhere in nature, sunlight wind,
water, plants, and animals. We use energy everyday. There are two
kinds or energy. There's kinetic energy and potential energy. There
are many forms of energy... there's light, chemical, mechanical, heat,
electric, automatic, and sound. All these forms of energy can be
broken down either into kinetic energy or potential energy. The law of
conservation of energy is that energy can neither be created nor
destroyed. The total energy of an object never changes.
Then there's kinetic energy. There are many types of energy,
but one of the most interesting types of energy is kinetic. Kinetic
energy is the energy of motion. When an object is in motion, even in a
vertical or horizontal motion, it has kinetic energy. There are three
types of kinetic energy; rotational, vibrational, and transnational.
To find kinetic energy in an equation, you will need the mass and
speed of the object. Usually potential energy is turned into kinetic
energy. When a cart is on top of a hill, it is full of potential
energy. As soon as it starts going down the hill it starts gaining
kinetic energy.
After comes potential energy and force. Potential energy can
store energy as the result of its position. Potential energy exists
whenever
