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).

In the Rutherford alpha scattering experiment, most particles passed straight through the foil with little or no deflection. What can be deduced about the structure of the atom from this?

An ice cube with a small iron ball in its centre is placed in a cup of water. 3.9 x 10-3kg of water in the cup is displaced and the volume of the ice cube is 4.0 x 10-6m3. Ice density: 1000 kg m-3 Iron density: 7800 kg m-3, what is the volume of the iron?

Explain the wave - particle duality

A ball is thrown downwards from a height of 10m with speed of 5m/s, assuming g=10m/s^2, calculate the final velocity of the ball when it hits the ground
