Rotational Motion Totally Out Of MCAT Syllabus?

[tresbon]

I didn't find rotional motion listed under the physics topics. It's, however, related to simple harmonic motion (SHM) with thing like angular velocity. Can someone please help clarify what and what not to know on this?

Any rotational motion, you do not need to know.

For SHM, u need to know the equation: T (period) = 2 (pi) sqr (m/k)
and T = 2 (pi) sqr (L/g).

THOSE TWO ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

ALSO know that T = 1/frequency.

And how period relates to velocity (frequency x wavelength).


Other than that, u dont need to know anything else. The whole omega (angular velocity), you don't need to remember. But make sure u memorize the first two formula above!
