AP Physics 2

Advanced Placement Physics 2 focusing on fluids, thermodynamics, and modern physics.

Practical Applications

Medical Imaging and Diagnosis

Seeing Inside the Body

Modern physics has led to amazing medical tools that let doctors look inside the body without surgery.

MRI and CT Scans

MRI uses magnets and radio waves (quantum physics!), while CT scans use X-rays to create detailed images.

Fluid Dynamics in Medicine

Understanding how blood flows helps diagnose heart problems and design better treatments.

Improving Health

These technologies have saved countless lives and improved healthcare worldwide.

Examples

  • Doctors use ultrasound to check on a developing baby’s health.

  • MRI scans help spot brain injuries quickly and safely.
