Hey, all.
I never studied Physics in high-school, and so I'm going to have to start fresh in University for these courses. There are introductory courses and I'm wondering if you can tell me from the description of these, if they will satisfy what I need to know for the MCAT:
Phys 100: Introductory Physics:
An introduction to fundamental concepts such as force, energy, momentum, and the use of graphs and vectors in physics; geometrical optics; electricity; laboratory exercises to familiarize the student with both the phenomena and the basic laboratory instruments commonly used to measure them.
PHYS 101: Energy and Waves
Conservation laws, rotational motion, simple harmonic motion, sound, fluids, heat, including biological applications.
Does that sound like I would learn enough? Or what other aspects of physics must I know?
Thank you VERY much for the help.
