Eh.... it really depends on how well you can handle word problems actually. Think of most physics problems as the word problems in algebra you have tried. The math should be okay for you to handle, as long as all the equations you will learn are in discrete form rather than differential form, which requires calculus.

But really, being good at math is definitely a hand up in learning physics, if not a requirement.

Whenever you've heard the term "mechanics" associated with some level of physics, they are referring to the mathematics. Everything is explained using equations and then interpreting those equations based on the problem you are trying to solve.

Eventually, if you stick in long enough, everything boils down to differential equations and must be solved using calculus. But EVEN THEN, alegrba is paramount in reducing equations and solving for unknown variables.

I think you'll do just fine.

Just imagine how the students are going to feel that hate math lol

Is physics hard if you are good at algebra?

Being able to use algebra is essential to studying physics. Being good with algebra can make studying physics easier than it would be if you were not good with algebra. However, being good with algebra will not ensure that you will find studying physics to be easy.


How hard is chemistry if you are good at algebra?

After my opinion it is not true: if you are good at mathematics you must be good at chemistry and physics.


Is it true that if you are good at math you will fail physics?

No, not true. However, you will find it very hard to excel in physics if you are a poor in algebra, calculus, vector calculus and differential equations.


How hard is physics if you are excellent at calculus and linear algebra?

That should probably be easy. Try it out to be sure.


Why are people who are bad at maths good at programming?

programming requires a lot of basic math and some basic algebra. it can be hard to get a good job at programming withought knowing much math.


Will you do well in calculus if you are good at basic math and computer science math which is boolean algebra with circuits?

Being good at basic math will definitely help with Calculus. Boolean algebra is fairly different from Calculus, so it is hard to say how much it will help. Boolean algebra does help with some critical thinking skills, which will be helpful in Calculus to an extent.


Is calculus hard if you are excellent in basic algebra?

Not really. Of course, you'll have to learn some new concepts - just as when you learned algebra.


How is basketball related to geometry and physics?

That's a hard question. The only thing I can think of is when Quinn says that Basketball is Basic Geometry & Physics on Zoey 101. I'm not sure how they're related. Good question.


Is it true that chemistry will be hard for you even if you are good at algebra?

This would be a matter of opinion. It depends on the person. Someone may be good at chemistry but not algebra while someone else might be good at algebra but not chemistry. Others may be good at both subjects or find both subjects hard.


Why is physics so hard?

because you should it from the basic,not just memorize the formulae and equations.


Will physics be hard for you if you are good at calculus?

Calculus will help but there is more to physics than just that.


Does sixth grade have algebra?

Why yes you do, its not that hard really! good luck!
