PHYSICS CONNECTIONS
TO THE REAL WORLD
Okay, so you are ready to learn about physics. But what, you may ask, is it good for? These two pages show you one part of the
answer to that question: physics helps you better understand what is going on around you and in the rest of the Universe. Listed
here are many of the applications of physics found in the text, along with the page(s) on which each appears. (Some references
are to Problems or Challenge exercises that involve the application or device.)
