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.

[Jessica]

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!

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

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

De nada
Sí es difícil, tengo esta problema con para/por

What you wrote is true!
= ¡Lo que escribiste es verdad!

lo que = that which = what

Physics is basically applied math. If you're good at math, you'll do fine in physics. If not, then you'll need to study quite a bit.

http://www.badastronomy.com is a great forum for anyone needing help with physics. You can see from the name that it's an astronomy site, but astronomy is all based on physics. There's dozens of very talented and inteligent scientists that frequent the site. There's people that actually work in, well, just about any field imaginable (Chemists, Physicists, Astronomers, Biologists, etc.). Just be carefull to not look like you're just asking for answers to homework (I know you don't do that, but they don't like when kids show up and just ask for answers to homework, just like it's frowned upon here).

I love physics. I'm not trained in it, but I study it a bit for fun. It's my favorite area of science.

I enjoyed applying trigonometry when I studied strengths (I don't know if this is the correct word for "fuerzas"). Sometimes I had problems with a lot of strengths on a body and you should find sinus, cosinus, tangents to know the strength applied to a body. They were very interesting. But electromagnetism was not so interesting And what about "óptica" or "física cuántica" (I don't know the words in English..)

okay, so can I like, do my homework and ask them to check it? Is that allowed?

I think you have to subscribe. Does that mean it costs $? If yes then I can't use that forum.

Yes, they'll check your homework. Like here, they won't just give you the answer, but they'll point you in the right direction.

And no, you don't have to pay to join. You just have to register if you want to post. (And yes, that's free).

You are interestinged in study psychology.

I'd like that career about all if you have contact with the people..

I would liked have studied that career in my young.


But I can't do it.

no, no, I'm going to study physics. You understand?

Thanks, Rusty. This nomenclature is not usually studied
