The energy transferred from the water in the kettle to its surroundings in 2 hours is 46 200 J. The mass of water in the kettle is 0.50 kg. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg °C. What is its temperature after 2 hours?

The water loses 4200 J/kg °C * 0.5 kg = 2100 J/°C

As it's lost 46,200 J in total (regardless of the time it took for this to happen), it must have reduced in temperature by 46,200 J   /   2100 J/°C...

if -3 + -4 is -7, is -3 x -4 =-12 (also negative)

I would use the x-y graph to explain the multiplication of negative numbers

I would also start with 4 x 3, then work my way towards negative numbers, e.g 4x2, 4x1 ......4x-1, 4x-2

Then I wou...

What's the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

Firstly, all waves transfer energy without transferring matter (particles). 

Waves usually consist of particles vibrating in a particular direction, but not necessarily in the same direction as the...
