Thanks for all comments. All points taken. However, I still have a problem with the English language. Yes deceleration is a reverse acceleration for example applying the brakes in a car. Yes you decelerate. But the word (de) _ hits me.:redface:

Hi all, i think the word deceleration is used incorrectly and can cause problems for students learning physics For example, if i start from rest and run as fast as i can until i eventually more at a constant speed. Then my interperetation of this is that (i) i accelerate at some rate (ii)...

Energy perspective: The electron is bound (held) to the metal by a force (think of water atoms held to the water) If a photon interracts with an electron ( the electron absorbs the photon) the electron will ecape the binding (energy) force of the metal only if the energy of the photon is...

Hi, when work is done, there must be some kind of enregy transfer or transformation eg from kinetic to kintec or potential to kinetic etc. For two electrons interracting, say colliding, then one electron will gain an amount of energy due to the interraction and the other will loose an equal...

Hi all, another problem is that if you apply as a high school physics teacher, you may only teach physics as a small percentage of the total teaching load. The other 90% of your load (say) could be teaching some area your not familiar with such as biology etc. Thats what can happen in...
