College Physics

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

Practical Applications

Transportation Technology

Getting from Here to There

Physics principles are at the heart of all transportation, from bicycles to rockets. By understanding forces, energy, and aerodynamics, we can travel faster, safer, and more efficiently.

How Physics Helps

  • Engineers design safer cars using crash physics and materials science.
  • Aerodynamics allows planes and trains to move faster with less energy.
  • Electric cars use electromagnetism for efficient, clean propulsion.

Why It’s Important

Advances in transportation improve lives, connect people, and reduce pollution—thanks to physics!

Examples

  • High-speed trains use magnetic levitation to glide above the tracks.

  • Electric cars use regenerative braking to recover energy while slowing down.
