Physics tries to explain how the universe works and technology exploits that knowledge to build useful stuff. Also, physics experiments now use a lot of technology.

For instance, physics explained how electrons are emitted from a heated cathode in a vacuum, and technology used that to make TV tubes. Physics explains the bandgap structure in semiconductors like doped silicon, and technology makes transistors and LEDs. Technology can’t make things at random - a flying machine from a piece of soap and a stick of celery. Physics tells it to try a cloth envelope and a gas burner.
