A good example might be a steam locomotive.

It starts with a chemical reaction, where carbon combines with oxygen in the firebox. This heats water to generate steam which drives the cylinders, which turn the wheels and make the locomotive move...a physical reaction.

Or a gun, where a chemical reaction, the decomposition of a propellant creates gas which propels a bullet.
