Hi Everyone,

I have asked two of my professor for letters of recommendation for an internship program and now I want to apply for a volunteer position. Do Professors usually write one again if you ask them twice? Or do they get annoyed?

And regarding the physics question, Im in the beginning of my course studying projectile motion in two dimensions, Newtonian Laws, etc. and I am having trouble getting the equations and concepts down. I did well in my other premed classes but I feel like I'm struggling with Physics a lot. Did anyone feel like this? Is it an initial hurdle kind of thing? I have never taken Physics before (not even in high school) so this concept is relatively new. I have worked lots of problems but I still feel like I am struggling a great deal and am a little worried about the rest of the course. Any advice? Thank you for all of your help.

Do you need their letters for the volunteer position? If so ask- they usually can tweak a letter a lil and it isn't too big a deal.

As for physics it is a matter getting the equations and being able to put info into them and rearange to solve the problem. The concepts are a lil crazy but with time they will make more sense- if you are struggling get some assistance now so you don't have trouble. The key for me in Physics was working a lot of end of chapter practice problems.
 
usually they can tweak it and it won't be that big of a deal...doesn't hurt to ask.

As for physics, I had a HELL of a time with it. I never it took it in high school either, so it was my first time being exposed to the concepts. It took me a lot of time working problems and asking a lot of questions. I eventually got an A in both physics 1 and 2, but only after studying a lot. Don't get discouraged by it. It just takes some effort and a lot of memorization.

I hated projectile motion i am taking ECE(early college experience) Physics in high school and i have an exam tomorrow, i am graduating this year. but after practicing some problems i got the concept its just once you get the concept you can do the problems, but Projectile problems really mess with your head if you don't know your components or whats going on. for me i always draw the diagram if its not given that helps a lot. The key to solving physics problems is to visualize for that's goin on, coz Physics is all about real life, Physics=Physical environment, so try to visualize your problems and draw 'em out on paper that helps alot.
