The Archimedes principle states that when a body is submerged in water

While I am taking a bath at the bathtub, physics is at play. I begin by filling the tub with water and then proceed to enter into the bathtub. When I enter, the water level in the bathtub rises. For this reason, I have to make sure that the water is not filled to the brim of the tub before I get into it. This displacement of water when I enter the tab is called buoyancy. Myers (2006) notes that Archimedes, who was a Greek Mathematician, discovered the principle of buoyancy. The Archimedes principle states that when a body is submerged in water, it displaces water of an equal volume to the body (Myers, 2006). For this reason, I displace water equal to the volume of the part of my body that is submerged in the water whenever I get into the bathtub. Physic explains why I sink in the bathtub while the rubber ducks present remain afloat. The buoyancy force of an object is equal to the weight of the water displaced when an object is placed in water. For floating to occur, the object needs to displace water that that is greater than its weight.

I own a bicycle that I use for exercising and to move around when I am at home. Using this bicycle involves a lot of physics. To move the bicycle, I make use of Newton’s second law of motion. Myers (2006) documents that this law states that Force is equal to the Mass times Acceleration. As such, the amount of force I exert into the bicycle is the same that is output and it causes the bike to move forward. The acceleration of the bicycle is dependent on the force exerted and my weight. If I want to move at a high speed, I only need to apply more force on the pedals. Balancing the bicycle also requires utilizes physics. While it is hard to keep a bicycle upright when it is stationary, it is easy to balance the bike with enough forward velocity.
