Physics

[Jessica]

I am taking physics next year, since I got a B and was not recomended into Chemistry (Honors).

My mom thinks Physics is MUCH harder than chemistry. What do you think? I'm worried I'll get another low B in that class, and I haven't gotten straight A's since 7th grade (other grades only 1 B, though, rest were A's - 6th, 8th, 9th).

Physics mean Psicologia.

I'm not sure about the word.

Please you tell me what's it.

well I believe you learn about matter and gravity and force. Not sure :P

physics = la física
psychology = la psicología/sicología

I agree with your mother, Physics is much harder than Chemistry, although it all depends on the level you're going to study, the concrete subjects and what you like best

In chemistry you'll have to study very well the chemist elements and their symbols and valences, so you'll be able to apply some rules and do the chemist formulation (I'm not very sure about the English nomenclature on speaking about these terms , sorry).

In Physics, you should learn a lot of theories (it all depends on the matter you're going to study), but I'm almost sure that you're going to study Coulomb law, because this is one of the first things which are studied if Physics. Furthermore, you should be good at maths, since strengths are also one of the first things which are studied. Trigonometry is basic in Physics, so you can review it if you've already studied it.

I hope it'll be helpful

I was a teacher of Science before I retired. I taught both Physics and Chemistry. Most of my pupils and students found Physics more difficult, as it contained more Mathematics. Personally I always found Physics more interesting.

Each kind of learning needs discipline and work, but there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome by dedication; making doing all homework and solving all the exercises will make everything a lot less hard.

Thank you very much for the corrections.

Una correción pequeña

Qué que escribiste...
¡Es verdad!

Thank you, Bob. No matter how long I've written in English, I keep making mistakes with "make and do".
