AP Physics B

AP Physics B covers fundamental concepts in physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves, preparing students for college-level physics courses.

Practical Applications

Renewable Energy Technologies

Powering the Future

Renewable energy uses physics to harness natural resources like sunlight, wind, and water. Understanding energy transformations is key to developing cleaner power sources.

Examples of Physics in Action

  • Solar panels convert light into electricity using the photoelectric effect.
  • Wind turbines turn kinetic energy from air movement into electrical power.

Impact on the Planet

Physics-based renewable energy reduces pollution and helps fight climate change.

Examples

  • Solar-powered homes use physics to convert sunlight into energy.

  • Wind farms provide clean electricity by capturing the energy of moving air.
