I am a freshman in high school currently and I am taking physics, but for me it seems too difficult even though I think I have tried everything (Reading from the textbook, tutoring with the teacher, khan academy, studying a lot...) The teacher is not very good at teaching, not saying this as a personal attack but it is true, the whole school complains about him, apparently they tried talking to the principal but to no avail.
Anyway -- I am very interested in physics, I think it is amazing but I just do not understand a lot of it... I am in a regular class, I am not exactly sure about the difficulty of regular physics compared to honors and AP, but I feel like he is teaching us a higher level than regular, in fact I had to use the honors textbook just in order to have a basic understanding (The regular book is conceptual physics by Paul G. Hewitt). I am reading the textbook and probably have a basic grasp of one dimensional motion through to work and energy, but it is difficult for me to apply the knowledge when harder questions roll in. I know the formulas, but I don't how to properly apply them correctly, do you guys have any tips to overcome this? What can I do in order to understand?
