What is the Young's modulus of a material?

The Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of the material - higher the young's modulus, higher the stiffness. It is calculated by dividing stress by strain over the elastic deformation region and is measured in Nm^-2(Pa).

A ball is kicked off a cliff at a height of 20m above ground and an angle of 30 degree from the horizontal, it follows projectile motion and lands after a time t. Its velocity at the maximum height it reaches is 20m/s, how long does it take it to land?

Show that the orbital period of a satellite is given by T^2=(4pi^2r^3)/(GM) where r is the orbital radius, G is the gravitational constant and M is the mass of the Earth. Then find the orbital radius of a geostationary satellite.
