 |
|
| I've seen this covered in my Columbia Review book as well former EK physics, but I forgot... Dr. Ferdinand, are we required to know the period equation for a simple harmonic, (the one sq root m over k)? |

| No, you do not need to memorize that equation. This is a test question. |

The answer is not pi/4 seconds; it is pi/5 seconds.
You can obtain this answer with
T = (2/10)pi s
T = (1/5) pi s
T = pi/5 s |

How could we be expected to solve this problem if we don't need to have the equation memorized for the real MCAT? |

| The AAMC states that each real MCAT test may contain 1-2 "test" questions. This refers to a question which is NOT scored. We have decided to also include a few test questions among our exams to ensure students don't waste time/energy with any particular question, just do your best and move on. |
