Physics is all around us, from the smallest particles to the vast expanses of the universe. At Career Maker’s Academy in Dholpur, we aim to make physics not just a subject, but an exciting journey of discovery. Understanding the physics behind everyday objects can make the subject more relatable and fascinating for students from Grade 9 to 12. Let’s dive into some common items and unravel the physics that makes them work.
The Simple Yet Mighty Lever
One of the most basic yet powerful principles in physics is the lever. Think about a seesaw in a playground. This simple machine operates on the principle of leverage, where a long arm pivots around a fulcrum to lift objects. When you push down on one end of the seesaw, you apply force that lifts the other end. This is a practical example of torque and mechanical advantage, concepts you’ll explore in more depth in our physics classes at Career Maker’s Academy.
The Science of Bicycles
Riding a bicycle is something most of us do without thinking about the physics involved. However, bicycles are marvels of mechanical engineering. The balance and stability you experience while riding are due to the principles of angular momentum and gyroscopic effect. When the wheels spin, they create a stabilising force that keeps the bike upright. Additionally, the gear system on a bicycle illustrates the concept of mechanical advantage, helping you understand how different gears affect speed and force.
The Everyday Light Bulb
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental topics in physics that explain how light bulbs work. When you flip a switch, an electric current flows through the filament of the bulb, heating it up until it glows. This process, known as incandescence, converts electrical energy into light energy. At Career Maker’s Academy, our labs are equipped to help you experiment with circuits, allowing you to see firsthand how electrical energy powers everyday devices.
The Mystery of Refrigerators
Your refrigerator is an excellent example of thermodynamics in action. It works by removing heat from its interior and releasing it outside. This process involves a refrigerant that absorbs heat as it evaporates inside the fridge and releases it when it condenses outside. Understanding how refrigerators work helps you grasp the principles of heat transfer, phase changes, and the laws of thermodynamics, which are crucial topics in physics.
The Functionality of Smartphones
Smartphones are ubiquitous, but they are also complex devices that rely on several physics principles. Touchscreens, for instance, use the concept of capacitance, where touching the screen changes the electrical charge at that point, allowing the device to detect your touch. Additionally, the accelerometer inside your phone uses inertia to detect movement and orientation. These topics are part of the exciting curriculum at Career Maker’s Academy, where we connect classroom learning with real-world applications.
