I really like science. I was very good at honors chemistry, and got a 97%. I am actually continuing on to AP Chemistry this year. However, I’m pretty nervous about physics. When I decided to take AP Chemistry, my honors chemistry teacher told me that she thinks honors physics will be a breeze for me, so I could focus my energy into the higher-level AP Chemistry. However, I hear from many people that some kids who were really good at chemistry have a lot of trouble in physics. I know this doesn’t apply to every student, but it’s this actually a common trend? Also, will me being in AP Chemistry and Honors Precalculus supplement my understanding in physics, or make it any easier to understand? In general, how hard is physics, and is it likely that I will have trouble?
How experienced is your honors physics teacher? Has she/he been teaching the subject for awhile? Have you heard from other students whether or not she/he is a “good” teacher?
Ability or interest does not always translate from one science to another. Its generally easier to study a subject you like. If you are not interested in physics it will make it more difficult. If you like the subject I would not fret.
I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say he’s really really good, and some say he’s okay. Fortunately, I haven’t heard anyone say he’s BAD.
Physics is one of those things that clicks or doesn’t. One of my kids thought it was a breeze and the other struggled.
Physics to me seemed to be somewhere between Chemistry and Mathematics. Physics includes more math than most of chemistry does (with the exception of thermodynamics, which does have some math). If you are good at math, then it is likely that you will do well in physics.
Personally I did better in math and in physics, when compared to chemistry.
@marco18181818, The reason I asked about your teacher is because it appears that you have the ability and background to handle a class like honors physics. As long as your teacher has a good understanding of the subject, a student with your 97% record in honors chem and having completed Algebra II, will be fine. Even if you encounter problems, your background and a good teacher will go a long way for you to “breeze” through the class as your GC suggested.
Just remember to ask questions as you have them. Many concepts/terms will be new to you, and if there is a concept that you don’t understand, raise your hand–do not hesitate–and ask questions until you understand. This is not a class to sit quietly and think, “I’ll be able to understand it when I get home and read the text.” If you have the question, likely, many others in the class will have the same question. This is where a good teacher comes in, but you must be a proactive student, too.
You’re off to a great start with asking questions and seeking support–you posted here! 
the good thing about Newtonian Physics is that there are many free resources where you can do extra practice problems (e.g. Khan Academy)…practice practice practice.
