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
