Motion and Force

Motion and Force is a Physics chapter on the official PMDC MDCAT 2026 syllabus, contributing roughly 3 MCQs to the 36-MCQ Physics section. Mastering the core concepts below typically secures the full chapter weightage.

Key Concepts

• Kinematic equations
• Newton's laws
• Friction
• Projectile motion
• Momentum & impulse

How Motion and Force Is Tested

MDCAT questions on Motion and Force are a mix of recall (definitions, classifications), application (predict outcomes, interpret diagrams), and basic numerical/analytical reasoning. PMDC papers from 2020–2025 emphasized the concepts above; older UHS papers (2008–2019) tested them too, with slight variations in question framing.
