College Physics

An exploration of fundamental principles of physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and modern physics concepts.

Practical Applications

Energy Efficiency in Daily Life

Making Physics Work for You

Understanding physics can help you save energy and money! By applying principles of mechanics and thermodynamics, you can use energy more efficiently at home, school, or work.

Tips for Saving Energy

  • Use insulation to keep heat inside during winter and outside during summer.
  • Switch to LED bulbs to reduce electricity use.
  • Turn off unused electronics to minimize power waste.

Why It Matters

Energy efficiency reduces environmental impact and helps you cut costs—physics in action!

Examples

  • Refrigerators use insulation and efficient compressors to keep food cold with less electricity.

  • Smart thermostats use sensors and algorithms to optimize heating and cooling schedules.
