Importance of Physics in Everyday Life

Physics plays an important role in many everyday activities. When cooking, thermodynamics explains how heat transfers from the stove to the pan and food. As the stove heats the pan, conduction transfers the heat, while convection causes hot air and water molecules to rise and cooler ones to fall, evening out the temperature. Cutting vegetables also relies on physics principles - applying more force allows easier cutting, and sharper knife edges create less resistance than blunt ones. In many ways, physics underlies and helps enable our daily lives.

Importance of Physics in Everyday Life

We are living in the era of science and technology, and the inclusion of science and technology in our
everyday life has greatly improved our lives. When individuals had no notion about the science after then
their lives were ruled by the values of many branches of science. While we light the fire, a chemical
process takes place; while we take food and digest it, it is biological based process; when we use to
walked on ground, it is directed by the universal laws of physics; when an Earthquake happens, it’s a
seismic action; while we talked around many lands and gems of the surface of Earth surface, it is linked to
Geology. There is not a single action of our everyday lives, which defines our one or other arena of
science. Likewise, physics rules our daily lives and is elaborate in many actions that we perform and
things we that we used in our everyday life. In this paper, we will deliberate how physics plays an
important role in running our daily jobs and supports us to do our chores, errands, and obligations easily
and efficiently.

Physics is deliberated as a natural science as it compacts with the elements like substance, energy
motion, and force. As all of these are linked to duty associated with daily life, hence, we could say that
physics deals how the cosmos, universe, and earth worked, how the planet Earth moves round sun, how
lightning strikes the earth, how our fridge works and much more. In brief, physics describe how the whole
thing works nearby us. When we could not find distinct, everything from the science and, our world could
not detach itself from the miracles of Physics. When we see around us, we could see several elements
that work on the philosophies of Physics. We could enlighten our numerous actions by making the usage
of the information of Physics. Here, we would deliberate certain instance, which would assist us to study
how physics is playing an important role in our lives every day.

In cooking, Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with temperature, heat and amount of work
that is completely due to it. Hotness or heat is a type of energy that could be moved from one medium to
another medium. That is the transfer of heat. For heat-transfer, heat moves from the hotter-surface to
colder surface. When we place the pan, with liquid or anything new in it, on the red-hot cooktop the
energy in the flame of the stove traces the cold pan, it starts to transfer the heat to the pan, and therefore
it makes it more hooter. This process is known as conduction. Convection is a method of motion of
particles in a liquid state and the gases state. While we heat up the pot, the molecules on the base of the
pan start to heat-up, after a while when the molecules have sufficient energy and turn out to be more and
hotter than the particles nearby, they start to move toward the surface of the water. These molecules of
water that comes to the surface are cooler and weightier as compare to that of hot water, because of the
lesser heat-energy, hence it starts moving downwards, this procedure lasts till all of the water molecules
reaches at the similar temperature.

The cooking method is an open system, as in this together with the mass and the energy is loosed.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics says that energy must be preserved, in our circumstance the energy is
loosed by the flame is being used by the pot to heat the water and therefore the sum of energy continue
to be preserved. If we use the pressure oven it usages the heat-energy to carry impulsive variations into
the food with the help of K.E of the particles to carry chemical variations in food items; therefore
sustaining the laws of thermodynamics that impulsive works are finished because of the work-energy.

When we cut vegetable and fruit, we certainly not understand that the physics can be included in this
modest job, then, certainly it is. To cut vegetable, fruits or whatever, we must apply force on the knife.
When we rise the force, we could cut a fruit or vegetable simply. Force is reliant on pressure and area
that has a direct relation between force and inversely relation with the area. In short, we could say that
when we apply further force, we could cut any object simply; however, if the similar force is being
executed with the help of a knife with thicker edges, we could not do it. From these practices, we have
learned that the knife which has the edges with the smaller surface-area could assist to cut any object
simply. Likewise, we could cut simply with a knife that has Sharpe edges than that of blunt. The blunt
shaped knife has more resistance or friction, which is because of its uneven edges and hence makes it
harder to cut any item.
Here, we have observed a limited instance of physics; however, our lives are ruled by physics and
other branches of science. Physics rules several natural actions and describes a variety of human-
made items like vehicles, fridges, escalators, and microwave. Therefore, we could say that the
physics and Physics govern our lives is making our life easy and modifying our way of life.
