Confusing Physics Concepts Explained: Solving for Net Force and Fx

In summary, the individual is seeking help with understanding physics, particularly in regards to a review sheet for a test. They have notes, but are still confused. They mention a question involving finding the force using the formula F=ma and mention needing to find another method to solve for Fx. They then realize this question belongs in a homework help forum.

Why is physics so confusing?

Hey, it's my first time here...cz i need serious help.
My teacher gave us a review sheet for a big test, and he expects me to do it, even knowing that i jus moved into this class...
I've got most of the notes...but i still find things confusing...


For Question#1

Fnet = Fg-Fn
=(-5.586x10(p6))+(1.5x10(p7))
=9.414x10(p6)
F=ma
=29.4x5.7x10(p5)
=1.6758x10(p7)
I understand the concept so far...but since the angle will NOT create a right angle, i need to find another method of getting Fx.

here is the question

1. During a space shuttle flight, an acceleration upward of 29.4m/s2[Y15X] is measured. Assuming that the shuttle has a mass of 570000kg, calculate the force that the small maneuvering thrusters would have to fire at to accomplish this. The main engines provide a force of 15000000N [Y] upward.

opps...i jus realized...this dosent belong in this forum...it's needs to be sent to the homework help forum
 

FAQ: Confusing Physics Concepts Explained: Solving for Net Force and Fx

Why is physics considered confusing?

Physics can be considered confusing because it involves complex concepts and equations that may be difficult to understand at first. It also requires a lot of abstract thinking and the ability to visualize abstract concepts, which can be challenging for some people.

Is physics confusing for everyone?

No, physics is not confusing for everyone. Some people may have a natural affinity for understanding physics concepts, while others may struggle more with it. It ultimately depends on an individual's background, interest, and aptitude for the subject.

How can I make physics less confusing?

The best way to make physics less confusing is to practice, practice, practice. This includes working through problems, using visual aids and diagrams, and seeking help from teachers or tutors when needed. Breaking down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable pieces can also be helpful.

Why do some people find physics easier to understand than others?

People may find physics easier to understand for a variety of reasons. This could be due to their previous knowledge and understanding of math and science, their learning style, or their level of interest in the subject. Some people may also have a natural inclination towards abstract thinking, which can be beneficial when studying physics.

Are there any tips for understanding physics better?

Yes, there are several tips for understanding physics better. These include actively engaging in class and asking questions, breaking down complex concepts into smaller parts, using real-life examples to understand abstract concepts, and seeking help from teachers or peers when needed. It's also important to stay organized, keep up with class material, and practice regularly.
