physics

I've read through a number of other threads about this, but can't seem to find one like my situation. I haven't taken all my prerequisites yet, including the necessary Biochem and Physics 1. So, that's why I'm planning to take the MCAT in Jan. I don't think I have time to do a prep course in...

Just finished my first year of college and I got a C in physics II this summer. Exams were graded based on the T-score and all the smart kids were taking physics (everyone else dropped out) and I kept scoring average on the exams. I guess I should have taken the class during fall (especially...

EK Physics Item 21: Newton's Third Law states that for every action there exists an equal and opposite reaction. What is the force that acts in reaction to the force of Earth's gravity on an object on its surface? A) The normal force that the object exerts on the Earth B) The force of gravity...

My Exam is in about a month and I'm averaging 503 on the practice Kaplan exams. This is only because I'm getting about 75% correct on CARS and P/S, but my C/P and B/B are always hovering around 50%. I went through a thorough content review and now I'm just doing practice problems, but no matter...

I am currently in my school's chemical engineering program. I have taken physics mechanics & E&M for the degree requirements. But since we are on a quarter system, I assume that "one year physics" for most med schools means that I need to take another physics class. My question is, can i use my...

Working through EK Physics 101 passages, in particular Test 3A, question 46: "Many bed-side patient lift assists use hydraulics to provide a mechanical advantage. What force should be applied, and to which piston, to provide 700N lifting assistance? Piston A has a diameter of 4cm, and piston B...

Is interference tested on the physics portion of the OAT? Things like the double slit, single single slit, diffraction grating, and thin films? Thanks!

I took Gen Chem 1&2 last year. I received an A and B respectively in each course (My university doesn't assign letter grades like A- or C+). However, I was wondering if dental schools would frown upon me putting off Orgo until junior year, as I'd rather take physics and biology this year. What...

So, the question asks which of the following changes to the circuit will decrease the electric field between teh electrodes by the greatest amount? A. Increasing L by a factor of 2 B. Decreasing L by a factor of 2 C. Increasing R by a factor of 2 D. Decreasing R by a factor of 2. I got the...

Hi all, I am confused with the question when the question said "NOT" and they minus -3.4 eV from total Energy. Can someone help me with this question as to why they minus -3.4 eV ? I got 20.5 eV and go with B. AND what does that NOT in the question even mean lol. I am confused with the wording also.

Hi guys, i'm not taking the mcat this year, i decided to postpone it to next year because i do not want to study for it while i am taking other difficult courses...anyhow...this upcoming semester i am taking my first course of physics to fulfill premed requirements. So i decided to study the...

So I'm in the middle of changing my major (nursing to BME), but need to take physics at a cc to ensure I don't add a whole year. I would take it at my state university but I really don't have the time to travel an hour and half one way to take the two classes. How bad would this hurt my future...

Hey, guys. So it happened. My worst nightmare came true in that physics actually seems to be my Achilles Heal. I'm not sure what the next step is after this C, I kind of feel horrible about it and am not sure if I should retake the course or see what happens in physics 2. How bad is the...

Does anyone know how online courses from Harvard Extension school are viewed for med school? I am looking at taking some courses through HE as refreshers so to speak. I already have the pre reqs for med school, but it has been a few years since I have taken them. I wasn't originally intending on...

I'm planning out the rest of my college coursework right now, as I have to register for Fall tomorrow. The plan I am trying to do right now (to help me graduate faster, and help the GPA) involves me taking Physics 1 w/ Lab this summer, then taking Physics 2 w/ lab in Spring 2019, both at UT...

So I took AP Physics my sophomore year of High school and got both lab and class credit for Physics I and II. I got conflicting information from two different prehealth advisors about whether I should retake it or not. One advisor told me to retake it to study for the MCAT and ensure I can apply...

So I've been accepted to dental school, but I have to take physics 2. They said I can take it online, no lab necessary, just another dumb hoop to jump through.... I am planning on taking it through BYU-IS because it is the cheapest option. Also, I think it is the only one (that I've seen) that...

Hey Everyone, I am writing my OAT in July and I want to be really prepared for this test. It's basically do or die for me. I was hoping if anyone has the OAT destroyer books and they are willing to sell it I would really appreciate it. I was on the OAT destroyer website and was gonna buy the...

Hi all, I need to take physics 2 and the lab in order to graduate on time, and it must be completed by the end of June in order for me to matriculate this year. The course must be above the "introductory" level. "college" or "general" are close enough for further inspection, at least. I know...

Hi, everyone. I'm a post-bac and the prereqs I have left to take are Biochemistry, and Physics I & II. I already have an A on Calculus I so I could take calculus based Physics, but I hear that it is a rather tough class and algebra physics is just as good for the MCAT. If I take Biochemistry...

So I just failed my first physics 1 exam (algebra based), and got a 30 on it. Clearly the material didn't click and I don't feel like the book is a great resource for me since I don't have solutions to the practice problems. Another issue was that the questions on the exam were three times as...

Hi everyone, I'm going to be graduating with a BS in Physics from state university this spring, and I'm interested in going to medical school. I have a low overall GPA, ~2.7, and an even lower core GPA, ~2.5. I haven't taken the MCAT yet, but I have begun doing some light studying. I have two...

Hi everyone! Okay, so I am in a dilemma right now. I want to take physics before graduating, but I'm in a limited seat undergrad science program at my university where the college already picks and registers semester classes for me as apart of the program. As a result, if I take physics, I will...

Hello, I am a first year at UCLA and am wondering how bad it would be for me to take physics at a Cal State over the summer instead of at UCLA? I would take the classes over two summers. I have no physics background, but have taken calculus. I have done well my first two quarters so far. Thank...

Hello, I am a first year at UCLA and am hoping to take physics at a CC close to home this summer. However, would this be looked down upon greatly by med schools? i have no physics background (never took physics in high school) and am afraid of not doing well in the physics series at UCLA...

I am trying to understand why the myelin sheaths would make a difference in conduction - I know that the axon is long so since L is proportional to resistance then the electrical current will dissipate in long distances - If we add myelin sheaths the Area will increase so the resistance will...

Hello ! I graduated with my BA in Biology 4 years ago, and on my way into taking my DAT's to go into dental school. However, at that moment I was a 21 year old selfish, broke, in debt, student graduate. I was not ready to give up my time, more money, relationship, and family. Most importantly...

The question asks: "If a person starts at the rim of a spinning platform and is pushed radially toward the central axis by a moving exterior wall, then what happens to the normal force felt by that person due to the wall?" Answer is: "It decreases, since r decreases" I used a= v^2/r but TBR...

A laboratory pan balance is shown In general when calculating the mass of the pan neglecting the mass of the rod: A- is possible if the fulcrum is placed at the center of mass of the whole balance B- is possible if the center of mass of the rod is the pivot point C- is not possible D- is...

Assuming all factors affecting wind resistance to be equal except shape which of the following shapes would generate the greatest terminal velocity in the experiment a- a water droplet b- a sphere c- a cylinder d- a cube answer is A and the answer says that during free fall a liquid will...

This is a question from TBR translational motion Phase II If all 4 objects were launched from a cannon mounted at a 45 degree angle what would be observed? I. Object I would have the greatest range II. Object IV would have the lowest velocity upon impact of the ground III. The object...

An electron enters an uniform magnetic field and travels at right angles to the field in a circular path. As the particle moves the magnetic field A- does not change the velocity of the electron B- slows the electron down C- speeds the electron up D- does not changed the speed of the electron...

It's a cathode ray tube - It's the Electrostatics chapter, passage X, Q.65 (P 149). On occasion, the electrons are made to pass through the plates undeflected. If the electrons enter the region between the plates with the same direction, but with excessive velocity: A) they will be deflected...

If the voltage across the plates were reversed what would happen to the oil drops between the plates from the Millikan oil droplet experiment? A- They would accelerate upward B- They would accelerate downward C- They would move with constant velocity upward D- They would move with constant...

I'm a freshman right now. I'm taking Gen Chem 1, Nutrition, Biostatistics, and Calc based Physics, and an honors seminar. Gen Chem 1 at my school is a killer and I already make a 65 on my first test. Should I drop Calc based Physics and just concentrate my efforts on chem? Or should I try to do...

How come a particle with larger mass has a greater radius of curvature? I know that the equation shows that r= mv/qB so if m increases r increases but if a particle is heavier it deflects less so shouldn't the radius of curvature be smaller? Thanks!

The dielectric constant K of an unknown material is measured as a function of temperature. What can explain the sharp rise and subsequent slow decay of K as the temperature increases? Graph is K vs T : it has a sharp increase at T1 and then starts to decrease A- The solid material melts at T1...
