Several aspects of physics are quite important here; especially calculations involving to energy and power; friction; momentum.
In short Pure physics is the theoretical knowledge of concepts of physics, while applied physics is the knowledge of techniques that help to apply this theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
I am currently doing Applied physics in College. In my particular college, applied physics is coursework based, there are no exams whereas for Physics, there are.Applied physics, at my college, involves a lot of practical work and stems into fields of Biology and Chemistry alongside Physics, focusing on all three for a first year during a National Diploma course, and only physics during the second year.Generally, Applied Physics refers to the use of physics; how it is used in various fields eg engineering. Whereas, Physics or sometimes called Pure Physics can be more theoretical, new research, new areas to explore.The work being done at CERN in Europe, the large hadron collider where atomic particles are being collided would be Physics. The two fields will largely overlap and the discoveries made in Physics will leak into Applied Physics.
In physics, work is defined as the force applied to an object over a distance. To make work easier, you can either increase the force applied or shorten the distance over which the force is applied. Using tools or machines can also help by amplifying the force applied or making it more efficient.
Just about anything we do is related to physics, since physics tries to describe how the Universe works. Specifically, in transportation, relevant physical topics are movement, speed, momentum, energy (First and Second law of Thermodynamics), and - depending on the type of engines used - electromagnetism, heat engines, etc.
Work is zero in physics when there is no displacement of an object, meaning that no force is applied to move the object over a distance.

Rad Physics is physics applied to radiation
Applied physics deals with real life movements while pure physics is theoretical and usually on a subatomic scale.
Physics deals with the study of the fundamental forces and nature of the universe. Chemistry is arguably applied physics, and biology is applied chemistry.
On the Applied Physics Letters website one can find a wealth of information regarding physics. It is an electronic version of a newsletter about science and physics.
