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...

Calculate the threshold frequency for a metal with a work function of 3eV

The equation for work function is: W = hf

So, this is rearranged to: f = W/h where h is planck's constant.

Therefore, if we know the work function...

How is a particle moving in circular motion accelerating but not varying speed?

When a particle moves in circular motion, the resultant centripetal force acts radially towards the centre of the circle. Since there is a force there must be an acceleration on the particle due to Newton...

A box is pulled with a rope at 26° to the horizontal and a tension of 120N. What is the work done in pulling it 5 metres?

Work done = Force in direction of motion (horizontal in this case) x distance. Force in direction of motion is 120 x cos(26) (draw a diagram to help visualise this) and distance is 5. Therefore work done ...
