Hi,

I am a first year college student who is currently taking intro to physics course. With the way this course is designed, it is definitely not beginner friendly as I took physics for two years straight in high school and is still a little confused. To add to injury, I also just bombed my first test. I am determined to understand and improve, regardless of marks. This course is more on the conceptual side and is not calculus related. So far we are dealing with Kinematics and dynamics. Do any of you guys have good resources to recommend along with practice problems that I can solve on my own time?

Any advice is appreciated!

Welcome to PF. :smile:

You will get many other suggestions here in your thread, but have a look at this other thread and the book that the Original Poster (OP) ordered to help them get more comfortable with working introductory Physics problems:
