A little about the author


Looking back at my journey in 2022, the MDCAT was one of the most
stressful times in my life. However, I am glad that I was able to study
effectively and practice MCQs as much as i could through PreMed.PK
I understand the challenges and pressures you have faced
throughout this rigorous process, and my intention was to alleviate
some of those burdens by providing you with a reliable guide in your
preparation. I hope that this guide will be a good help for you to orient
yourself as you do this chapter. Good luck!

PERSPECTIVE

Introduction
This chapter is one of the most important chapters of first-year Physics, as the
frequency of questions tested from this chapter is quite high. The good thing is
that this chapter is less challenging as compared to other chapters in the
syllabus, and hence, with good practice it and can be mastered easily

How to approach the textbook? FOLLOWING ARE THE SUBTOPICS


/ Subtopic wise - integrate LISTED BELOW
important topic in this 7.1 : Work
7.2 : Workdone against gravitational force
7.3 : Power
For physics, it is more important to understand the
concept and then be able to apply it to the
7.4 : Potential energy
MCQs. Therefore, your first resource for doing this 7.5 : Absolute P.E
chapter should be a video, and then do 7.6 : Interconvertion of P.E and K.E
the past paper questions to get a command over Free falling body : this concept can be
the objectives of this chapter. For physics, it
used in questions must be done well .
is unwise to spend a lot of time reading and 7.8 : Law of conservation of energy
understanding the book. Keep in mind that 90%

7.9 : various sources of energy


of your understanding will be formed by a
This is low yield sub topic but you should still
combination of practice questions and video/class

read
lectures and not the book. Any theoretical
information can be learned as you solve questions
from the book once .
since doing questions is a form of active learning, No need to waste time watching videos.
and you’ll be much more likely to

remember it on test day. For any subtopics


Formula derivations are not important

If you do feel compelled to cover the book,


then first watch videos

to gain a solid conceptual understanding,


and then skim through the bulk of the text,

highlighting only information such as:

1. Different units of work


2. Important formulas
3. Examples of conservation of Energy in daily life
4. Various sources of energy

SOME HELPFUL RESOURCES SAMPLE MCQS

detail. My suggestion would be to do all the Explanation


topical questions available
For this question, you have to apply the formula
on the website, note down any errors that you K.E = ½ mv^2, where K.E is given in the

make on a
question, and v is 3.0x10^8 m/s (fixed for an
register/notebook or Google Docs, and revise electromagnetic wave).

your mistakes every two


4.5x10^16 = ½ (m) (3x10^8)^2

weeks to avoid them on exam day. 4.5x10^16 = ½ (m) (9x10^16)

9x10^16 = (m) (9x10^16)

m= 1 kg.

Absolute potential energy displacement (0 = 180°), the work is _______
and when the force acts at right

TIPS AND TRICKS

1 . Error log/mistake notebook


In Physics, since a lot of concepts are built from
the questions that you do, it
is extremely important to note down all the
mistakes that you make while
attempting the questions. Jot them down in a
notebook or Google Docs, and
keep revising them so that on the exam day you
are well prepared. I can not
emphasise this enough!

2. Making your formula sheet


You may make your formula sheet with a few
diagrams to help you remember
all the formulas. Otherwise, you may use the
formula sheet provided by
PreMed.pk and annotate it if you wish.

LAST MINUTE ADVICE


Not having enough time for revision is a
common problem
( we faced it to ) here is what we
recommend:

- Gaurav Gupta’s One-Shot videos at 2x the speed

- Cram formula sheet

- Go over the notes by PreMed.pk or the


Preparation book by KIPS

- Re-read all the mistakes in the error notebook

- Do solved examples at the end of the chapter


from the book

- Topical questions
