Welcome to MCAT Basics, your ultimate guide to the essential topics you need to master for the MCAT,

brought to you by the physicians at med school coach. Every week, Sam Smith breaks down high-yield

MCAT topics, ensuring you're primed for success on test day. Join Sam as we explore the most

crucial subjects outlined by the AAMC pulled from official practice materials

and third-party resources. Get ready to elevate your MCAT game with topics tailored to maximize

your score potential. Hello, I'm Sam Smith. This podcast covers work and energy. I'll start by

talking about work, including topics like

the mathematical and conceptual definitions of work, assigned convention of work. I'll talk a little

bit about mechanical advantage and also path dependency. Then I'll get into energy. And in the

energy section of this podcast, I'll talk about the general definition of energy. I'll compare and contrast

energy and work. And I'll talk about the different types of energy. That includes kinetic energy,

potential energy, thermal energy, and total mechanical energy. And I'll talk last about energy

transfer, specifically heat transfer, which there are three types of.

That is convection, conduction, and radiation.

And this material will show up on one of the four MCAT sections.

That is the physics chemistry section.

This is all physics.

So this is like half of one of the sections.

And I hope you find this podcast helpful in your studies,

and good luck as you prepare for the MCAT.

So the first thing I want to talk about here is work.

And specifically, I want to talk about the concept of work.
