We're doing some coupled motion stuff in my AP Physics class and this is my second year of physics because we didn't do it last year in honors and I'm getting a bit lost with this. Does anyone have any links or explanations to help me understand this a little better?

Welcome to PF!
I assume you are talking about "related rates" problems?
 
Yep, I'm going to go in for tutoring tomorrow after school because we have a test on friday. I'm starting to get it a little more with the sum of the forces and such but i'd like to do a little better.
 
It would be best if you posted some examples, or at least some specifics of what you want to learn about it..
