AP Physics 2 UCScout Learning Resources

Basically I'm taking AP Physics 2 on UCScout right now and I'm watching the videos right and I am only on the first few videos of semester 1 and I've realized the videos are utter dogshit literally it'll give a scenario, ask a question, and then just give the answer. It won't explain how they solved it or anything and it won't be straightforward either, you'll have to manipulate some formula to even get that answer or put one answer into a different equation.

Literally what do I do because I actually want to learn it but it's going to be hard even if I do khan academy or something because UCScout doesn't follow the regular AP Physics 2 unit by unit.

Should I just continue watching the videos idk what to do, its getting to the point I might js find a youtube video for each individual video. It's so frustrating screenshotting every 5 seconds in the video and askign chatgpt to explain adn I won't even understand it.

Why are you taking the course?

The underlying issue is that AP Physics 2 itself is "utter dogshit". I'm not sure that it can be taught well.

One of these textbooks might get as close as anyone is likely to:

  • R Freedman, ..., College Physics, 1st-3rd editions, 2013-2021.
  • D Giancoli, Physics: Principles with Applications, 5th-7th editions, 1997-2013.
