This can include anything like sports, games, accidents, etc. and how they relate to velocity, acceleration, projectile motion, forces (contact and non-contact), and energy. Thanks so much!
Note: If you say it applies to all life, please elaborate using real life situations and so on.

physics is happening everywhere and in everything. From a football game with players increasing velocity and smashing into others to scientists in nasa calculating trajectory, velocity needed to escape the atmosphere, the stresses on the hull of the ship ect.

collisions - whether they are elastic (conserve all energy, two or more objects collide and go their separate ways) or inelastic (where the energy is not conserved, where an object would split apart into two or more or two or more objects come together to form one) (remember energy cannot be created, only transfered)

we do the energy calculations for the air conditioning system of sports stadium
you can calculate how much energy you lose when you run or do some other physical work
you can calculate the motion of projectile and find where it will hit after you hit it with some angle

Without physics, there would be no internet for people to use to deny the usefulness of physics.

Physics is everything. All else is just stamp collecting.

Physics governs if and how chemical reactions proceed, and life is just an endless cycle of extremely complex chemical reactions.

Physics is a part of science and life. In every works the physics is applied. The whole world and its creation are dependent on physics. So physics is apply to life in every parts.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.
