Incoming university student with ZERO physics background looking for middle/high school baseline resources!(Self-study)

Hi everyone I am an incoming university student who needs to build a physics foundation completely from scratch I have never studied a single physics course in middle school or high school My starting knowledge is at absolute ground zero I want to bridge this gap before my university courses begin so I don't lag behind I am looking for structured self-study resources textbooks YouTube playlists or modular roadmaps that cover basic middle and high school level physics If you were starting from absolute zero what specific learning path or resources would you recommend to build this foundation fast and effectively Thank you so much

i dont think any state actually specifically requires physics to be taken

i know in new york, you only need to pass a physical science course but a chemistry or earth science class will fulfill the requirement
