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.

Describe and explain the photoelectric effect in terms of photons interacting with the surface of a metal.

A ball is dropped from rest at a height of 2 metres. Assuming acceleration due to gravity (g) is 10m/s^2 calculate the velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor.

A Positron has the same mass, but opposite charge to an electron. A Positron and electron are orbiting around each other separated by 1μm, in a stable circular orbit about their centre of mass, as a result of electrostatic attraction. Calculate the period
