What keeps objects moving — or stops them?
In Episode 1 of MCAT Physics Pulse, we break down the foundational principles of motion, force, and energy. Perfect for premeds reviewing the most tested mechanics concepts.
Topics Covered:
Displacement, velocity, acceleration (with units)
Newton’s First, Second, and Third Laws
Work, kinetic and potential energy
Energy conservation and basic problem-solving strategies
Whether you're building your physics foundation or sharpening for test day, this episode delivers what matters most — fast and clear.
🕗 Weekly episodes every Tuesday @ 8 AM PST
Hey future doctors and MCAT warriors,
We’re thrilled to launch our very first episode of MCAT Physics Pulse, your new go-to podcast for breaking down tough physics topics with clinical relevance and test-day clarity.

🔬 What’s in This Episode?
Episode 1 dives deep into translational motion, Newton’s laws, work, energy, and equilibrium — all high-yield physics topics that show up in MCAT passages AND real-world medicine. Hosted by virtual speakers Jennie and our expert physicist Dr. John Adams, we walk through:
Acceleration, velocity, and vector basics
Newton's three laws with medical analogies
Friction, torque, and biological systems
Work-energy theorem, kinetic/potential energy
Real-world examples like blood flow, joints, and cat agility
Pop quiz challenges to test your retention

💬 Why We're Doing This
Physics isn’t just numbers and formulas — it’s the language of movement and force that powers every heartbeat, breath, and synapse in the body. Our goal is to make MCAT prep engaging, relevant, and human-centered so that when test day comes, you’re not memorizing — you’re understanding.
📅 Next Week (Episode 2): We’ll cover fluids, buoyancy, pressure, and flow — perfect for understanding vascular systems and clinical pressure dynamics.
Stay tuned, keep learning, and let the physics pulse power your path to med school!
— Team MCAT Physics Pulse
