What are the common challenges faced by students in understanding physics?

In summary, students often face challenges in understanding physics due to its complex concepts, mathematical equations, and abstract nature. Additionally, physics requires critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which can be difficult for some students to grasp. Other common challenges include a lack of practical application and hands-on experience, as well as a reliance on memorization rather than true understanding. Furthermore, the fast-paced nature of physics courses and the pressure to perform well can also contribute to difficulties in comprehension. However, with proper support and resources, these challenges can be overcome and students can develop a deeper understanding of physics.

Hi! I am Alex and I just joined this forum. I am very awful at physics (at least) at undestanding the subject. When given a proper explanation I understand it and can solve anything I desire. But not everything is so easy as it seems.
