Anyone taking/taken Engineering Physics? Options

[Coomer]

I'm in my first quarter of a year of engineering physics, and I'm always in class every day and paying attention every day, but I just can't grasp the concepts...it all makes sense up on the board when the teacher's doing it, but as soon as I get home and attempt to do the homework, I can't even begin to comprehend what's going on.

I even fully read the textbook chapters and look over all my notes and look up stuff on Google, but at the end of the night I just want to kill myself because I often work for 4-5 hours and get maybe 2 out of 10 problems right. And our homework is online so I face the reality that I'm completely stupid immediately rather than feeling good for the rest of the night and then realizing this fact in class.

Has anyone taken this class? If so, how'd you get through it? Does anyone know of any online resources for learning physics?

I just need to get through it for a couple more weeks, and then I'm changing my major for sure.

Basically, so far we've done kinematic equations, forces, vectors, and now we're doing things like blocks moving down planes with tension and stuff, and the latest part is what is killing me...I just can't understand what's going on.

For example, here's one example problem:


It's just so incredibly confusing to me, no matter what I do to try to learn.

And the hard part for me is always setting up the equations...the calculus and algebra and trig. are fine.
