why is physics so hard????????

once upon a time (yes!) , i was like u thinking this crap but u know wht i did- i simply said to myself that just saying all bad n crap about this wonderful subjct , m gonna die one day!!! yes! even if NOW , it myte not make sense- that tym , it fortunately did!! u knw, dat ws simply impossible for me- coz all that crap of electricity chapter specially made me go crazy!!  i mean , u knw i was literally feeling hospitalised coz of PHYSICS! but, i started to love it- u knw, not just after a week or a month but even a more gradual process.... very very slowly.. i started.. liking it... u see, by saying all this, i cud hav said a wrd n that is "attitude" or 'thinking"... this is wht affects us and this is also wht makes us achieve!!! believe it or not!!\n\nthe point is- if u THINK even for a milli micro second that PHYSICS IS ""H A R D"", I TELL U FRND, U R NEVA GONA LIKE IT OR LOVE IT! so, start today, in ur spare tym, for jus 10 to 15 mins ONLY, jus read the concepts u find hard... n do some writing as well, it wrks coz then u see all dat in hard form(oh, u find everything in Physics- hard, ryte?? ) then start all ova once again...\nplan to do this aside frm ur school wrk.. it will wrk. instead of going to late nyte parties ... u can do this.. sounds dumb or i seem insane????? oh, well, when u have a professional career, people r automatically ur frnds.. n u knw wht i mean here! but only these ppl at late nyte parties wont even recognise u if u fail the exam of ur life!!!\n\nall this.. see, if u can get it.. i hope u can \n\n"IMPOSSIBLE" ITSELF SAYS "I M POSSIBLE!" there u go.!\n\nall da best, Akshay! :-)

Quantum Mechanics is harder, it uses calculus, but it also uses unfamiliar concepts such as tunelling and the wave nature of matter.

Study thoroughly..\n\nGet a clear picture of the concepts involved in Physics, Chemistry and Maths.\n\nBest of Luck and yeah!! WORK HARDER..

Well i am taking physics class this semester and we have to use websit to do our home work so please go to\n\n\nwww.masteringphyiscs.com\n\nyou will find all the topic for physics 1, 2 and 3...\nif you need help to search for the any topics than contact me...

If you really need help, try asking your professor or create a study group with classmates.  To be honest, I don't think that there is too much that you need to learn in general physics, most are really plugging values into an equation.  If you are relatively good at math, then you should be fine in physics.  One good way to study is to read the text carefully and actually do, or attempt the homework questions, and I mean all of them, from the easy to hard.  Its best to have a solution guide with you handy, not to cheat and copy, but to look at it and give you hints on how to proceed with doing a problem.  One last advice would be that whenever you are studying for something, do not place it in short term memory, and the best way is to repeatedly study physics everyday, maybe devote at least 20 minutes a day to study physics.

I have that same question.\n((I hate thermodynamics, by the way)).\nIm guessing that all the other letters were too scared to be involved with Thermodynamics because its so hard, so they stuck poor Q with the job.\n=]

That depends on your personal strengths. Physics has always been easier for me.

OMG!  It was so******* hard.

improving in physics or math doesn't only rely on good books, you also have to work really diligently and discipline yourself. to solve a problem efficiently, list out the given informations. then, write all the formulas you can think of that applies to the problem, and evaluate which equations are most applicable to the situation. to really improve, i suggest that you do the exercises in whatever book you might have. (i recommend conceptual physics by hewitt, since it's easy to understand), and actually answer at least 40% of all the problems for a particluar chapter. if you got a wrong answer, always analyze what went wrong in your euations, so you won't make the same mistake. read, read, read. also, it's helpful to understand the basic concepts which underly the equations you use. don't try to do the challenging stuff first, until you master the simpler ones, and until you really understand the theory behind the math. it's tough work, but you can really improve if you try hard.

It is one of the subjects that is rapidly coming up. The subject requires in-depth knowledge of Physics, Math & some other disciplines. Opportunities of research are excellent, with a wide vareity if options in higher physics, chemistry, bio-medical frontier research, etc. Job prospects r very bright too. But be prepared for a lot of hard work, dedication & sincerity.

I don't think either one is easier.  It depends on your interest and/or aptitude.  My degree is in chemistry and I think it is easier than physics.  I'm sure physicists think physics is easier than chemistry.

It is all difficult b/c it seems so abstract at times. It is really difficult for students to grasp concepts that are so foreign! the best advice, try to relate the subject to something that they understand and already know...it will make it easier to learn!

this is reallie hard..

There could be a lot of reasons for this.  You may not really understand the material in the first place.\n\nThis happens to me a lot.  I love nature, but I cannot read scientific material.\n\nOne way I learned to deal with this is to read third-grade level material, even though I'm a college graduate.  When I wanted to learn about viruses, I read a third-grade book by Howard and Margery Facklam.\n\nIf you do not understand the basics, then you cannot get a grasp of more advanced material.\n\nAlso - do NOT be afraid to ask your teacher for help.  Maybe you need tutoring.  Maybe the information is presented verbally, but you learn in pictures.  Maybe you need to learn by doing a hands-on activity rather than by reading abstract material.\n\nTeachers LOVE IT when a student who seems to be failing suddenly GETS IT.  \n\nIf you don't feel confident asking your teacher, ask another teacher to help you.\n\nAsk for help, don't get down on yourself.  Everyone has different learning styles.\n\nMy guess is you need to find your learning style and once you do, then you will be able to work smarter, not harder.\n\nBelieve me, I've been a teacher.

The trouble that most people have with understanding physics is (1) mastering the mathematics needed to set up and solve the problem (2) getting an intuition for the behavior of the systems that you are trying to learn.\n\nSo one way to improve is to make sure you have mastered algebra and calculus. This way you can focus your learning on physics, rather than on math. The second point about developing an intuition has to do with the fact that most of us already have some understanding of rudimentary physics just from our everyday experience in the world. This way when you are trying to solve a new physics problem, you can ask relevant key questions that can guide you toward the right direction.

Because they just love love the whole universe so much and want to get to know it.  You could always go back for a second degree!\nTo understand is what we were meant to do and the world is a beautiful and wonderful place.  Physics is the first and natural love between the human inside and world outside.  It starts when you're a baby and you learn how things work in this crazy new world you end up in.  Some people like to stop learning about it at 5 or 10, some others love to keep learning as much as they can about it.  That is physics to me.
