Definitely post questions on here. I took physics in high school for AP credit and then a full year of college physics during my undergrad. It's been over 10 years, but I'll help anyway I can. I'm sure others would be able to help as well.

I have 2 degrees. spent some time in a doctoral program.
undergrad physics was by far the TOUGHEST sum bitch I ever took in my life. either my professor was a piece of shit or i'm just not as smart as I think I am. it's probably more towards the latter.
Okay, I'm not really sad. However, I'll be honest, while I could do the work for you (I enjoy physics problems) you won't learn much that way. Is this okay with your prof/instructor?

Im not needing anyone to do the work for me. I just need some help here and there with concepts. I can handle the math fairly easy as I have already taken math through DE but its little things things like deciding if you want gravity to be positive or negative that twist my brain up. We just got past kinematics and conceptually it was a bit of a mind squeeze. Now we are getting i to cintripital force and so far so good on that. Maybe you can lead me to a good source or give some tips for 2D kinematics? All our homework is from a solutions manual so all work is done (just knowing why it works the way it works is what trips me up a bit), so its all good with the teacher as far as getting help because the test is what will matter.

Gravity is always an attractive force, remember that. My advice is to do problems. The more, the merrier. If you can handle the level of difficulty that the professor is giving you, then you are fine. Usually people start getting into "trouble" once they hit Newton's laws, which is not too bad -make sure to draw your free-body diagram! Enjoy the course, it's hopefully eye-opening.

Cool thanks brother.

Sadly, I do have a PhD in physics
