Physics Q&A thread

'm having some trouble in Physics, and not from lack of trying. I seek help often, and without making excuses, I find I don't get adequate help from professors/TAs. (Most of the time I get "Oh, that's in Chapter 8") Anyone out there good at Physics? Or know of some good sites that explain things non-metaphorically like my text book does? It is Calculus based which makes it more difficult. My biggest problem is with dot/cross products, and I guess vectors in general.
