    Why KEmax=hf-work function?

    Yes, it does. I hope this discussion will be helpful: https://www.quora.com/Would-the-Photoelectric-Work-Function-be-affected-by-the-temperature-of-the-metal-or-the-initial-kinetic-energy-of-the-electrons-If-it-does-why-does-it

    Why pressure is a scalar?

    Would you please explain in details , why pressure is a scalar, though, pressure = \frac {force}{area} and force is a vector ?

    Conceptual Question on Work and Negative Work

    I apologise as my last post (#4) was not the appropriate explanation. If I haven't mistaken, your question is that, initially there is a positive work, and finally a negative work, which are equal to each other. So the mechanical energy should be constant. Actually, it is constant. If you go...

    Conceptual Question on Work and Negative Work

    At first, consider the following example: Suppose, you have thrown a ball(mass=##m##) from ground to the sky with velocity ##v##; So the ball has a kinetic energy = ##\frac{1}{2}mv^2## ; After that, the net force on the ball is just the gravitational force which is opposite to the displacement...
