"The Physics of Motorcycles"

Modern motorcycles are capable of 180+ bhp in a rolling chassis that may weigh less than 400 lbs. Because motorcycles are light and powerful (with a large percentage of rotating mass) and have engines and suspensions tuned for cutting-edge performance, they are rich platforms for visceral physics. Just like cars, it also have friction, mass, acceleration, torque, energy, etc.
"Role of Physics when it comes to Cooking"


Physics plays a role in everything we do, including cooking. Have you ever been using a microwave and said to yourself, "How does this thing work?", or wondered what the difference between a convection oven and a
conventional oven is. These questions can be answered using physics. This science tells us that cooking is based on the three methods of heat transfer, Conduction, Convection and Radiation.


"Physics related to cellphone"

 Physics involves the study of matter and motion through space time, as well as energy and force. So broadly anything has to do with physics. Cellphones are created for us to be able to communicate easily with others.The device uses a microphone in the handset to convert the sound waves to electrical signals, which are sent through the telephone network to the other phone, where they are converted back to sound waves by an earphone in the handset.


If you take a cell phone apart, you find that it contains just a few individual parts, such as, an antenna, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a keyboard, a microphone, a speaker, and a battery. Inside the phone there is a circuit board. The circuit board is the heart of the system. Your journey through the computer chips on the circuit board would consist of three rooms. And these circuit board one of many evidences how we can say that Physics is being applied to Cellphones. 

"Physics behind Cars"

The word “physics” is derived from the Greek word "physika", which means “natural things.” Physics is an all-embracing science that helps to explain how
the world works. Learning about cars and how they work provides a unique opportunity to explore the science of physics. All of us have been a passenger in some type of vehicle at one time or another,
and this makes cars something that we all can relate to. Since some physics principles are abstract, using a car as a means to illustrate these principles makes them easier to understand.

In using a car, friction, work, motion, acceleration, velocity, speed, mass, force,
gravity and energy are present, that's why physics is related to Cars.
"CAMERA LENSES"

Physics was applied in Cameras specifically in Camera Lenses. A photographic lens (camera lens) is an system of optical lens elements that are either fixed to the body of a camera or interchangeable. The lens sees an image, focuses it, and then transmits its colors, sharpness, and brightness through the camera to the photograph film, which like our memory records the image for processing and future use. The photographic lens is made of optical glass or in some cases plastic.

And we know that Optics or the study of light is under Physics. That's how Physics is related to Cameras.
