Physics: mechanics and energy
Kinematics, forces, work, energy, and power with unit analysis.
Physics on the MCAT is about translating scenarios into models. The math is usually simple once the model is clear. Your job is to draw the system, identify forces, and choose the right conservation law or kinematic relationship.
- Models and diagrams drive correct equations
- Newton's laws link force and acceleration
- Energy conservation simplifies many problems
- Unit checks prevent equation mistakes
- Ratio reasoning improves speed
Think of a mechanics question you missed. Did you skip the diagram or choose the wrong relationship? Write one fix statement.
