Explain what is meant by the term "plastic deformation".

Plastic deformation happens to a material when that material is stretched beyond its elastic limit and hence won't return to its original shape. Therefore the material is permenantly mis-shaped.

The braking distance of a road train travelling at 15m/s is 70m. Assuming that the same braking force is applied at all speeds, show that the braking distance of a road train when travelling at 25m/s is about 190m.

How and why does a geostationary satellite stay above the same point on the Earths surface?

What is the most effective use of the equation sheet?

What would happen to n and Emax when a) the intensity is reduced to 1/2 I but the wavelength λ is unchanged? b) the wavelength λ is reduced but the intensity is unchanged?
