Physics in Daily Life Flashcards

Vocabulary flashcards covering key physics concepts, applications in daily routines, safety devices, technology, and leisure activities from Lesson 1.

Physics

A fundamental branch of science that deals with matter, energy, motion, force, and the interactions between them.

Electric Fans

Electrical appliances that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion.

Refrigerators

Household appliances that rely on heat transfer to keep food fresh.

Simple Machines

Devices such as levers, pulleys, and inclined planes that reduce the effort needed to lift, move, or carry objects.

Seatbelts and Helmets

Safety equipment whose use is based on the concepts of inertia and force to reduce injuries during accidents.

Medical Diagnostic Technologies

Tools such as X-ray machines, ultrasound, and MRI scanners that rely on waves, radiation, and electromagnetism to diagnose illnesses without invasive procedures.

Cranes

Heavy machinery used in construction that applies pulleys to lift heavy loads.

Computers and Communication Devices

Devices that operate through electrical circuits and electromagnetic signals to allow tasks to be completed faster and with less physical strain.

Musical Instruments

Instruments that produce sound through vibrations and sound waves.

Photography and Videography

Fields of imagery that depend on optics and light behavior to capture clear images.
