I'm having a hard time solving physics problems.. not exactly my strongest subject; we're learning velocity and angular rotations --stuff like that.
How will I use physics post-graduation?

The chemicals that you will deal with have physical properties which must be understood, as well as how they will interact with the "things" that control them, contain them, and move them. You need the physics to understand why a poorly designed pump and piping system is indeed poorly designed to do the job that is needed to be done with, of for your chemicals. It's worth it, stay with it.

I took a high school AP physics course and the intermediate freshman physics [1 year] course. I have never used more physics than that. I had to take linear algebra, but have not used it since graduation. However, other ChE's might use it. Difficult Equations and Particularly Difficult Equations, now those I used the Heck out of, while learning Thermo, transport phenomena, etc. Not since graduation, though again other ChE's very well may.

Your sense of smell, taste and vision all involve chemical reactions, but your hearing system is based solely on physical movement.

Simple physics, pressures, volume changes with
temperature, thermodynamics, will be your playthings.
Persevere, it can be learned.
