I'm in my first quarter of a year of engineering physics, and I'm always in class every day and paying attention every day, but I just can't grasp the concepts...it all makes sense up on the board when the teacher's doing it, but as soon as I get home and attempt to do the homework, I can't even begin to comprehend what's going on.
I even fully read the textbook chapters and look over all my notes and look up stuff on Google, but at the end of the night I just want to kill myself because I often work for 4-5 hours and get maybe 2 out of 10 problems right. And our homework is online so I face the reality that I'm completely stupid immediately rather than feeling good for the rest of the night and then realizing this fact in class. Has anyone taken this class? If so, how'd you get through it? Does anyone know of any online resources for learning physics? I just need to get through it for a couple more weeks, and then I'm changing my major for sure. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

he has to be doing kinematics
all entry physics are they start kinematics, have you touch or already know about chemical reactions. go into energies, then i'd guess rotational motion(that's the way my class is going right now) Coomer, about Physics, it's really not that hard...1/2 the time you just have to apply it to something you know momentum, think of guns...why doesn't a gun weight next-to-nothing and the bullet be bigger? if it did, the person would fly faster than the bullet. What happens in an elevator when it's going up fast, you are heavier feeling, what about down...you feel light. that's the "roller-coaster" of Weight vs Centripetal force(or Normal) hmm, energies... Your car runs out of gas at the top of a hill...POTENTIAL to FLY yea, this is the easiest i'd think so i wont even finish i can try to help you with anything you have, but keep in mind i've only taken AP in high school, and the 1st semester as a Mech. Eng. -------------------- ![]() |
