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).

I have trouble visualizing simple harmonic motion, and remembering all the related equations. How should I think about it?

An electron falling from one energy level to another emits a photon of wavelength 550nm. What is the difference between the two energy levels?

If the force between two point charges of charge 'Q1' and 'Q2' which are a distance 'r' apart is 'F' then what would the force be if the charge of 'Q1' is tripled and the distance between them doubled?

If a ball of mass 5kg is dropped from rest, how far will it travel in the 3 seconds after it reaches 150m from it's original position? Write down the change in it's total energy after the 3 seconds. (ignoring air resistance)
