    Why do we call the constant of proportionality in hook's law as Young's Modulus?

    Why do we call the constant of proportionality in hook's law as Young's Modulus and not as Young's coefficient? Is there any difference in Modulus and coefficient in engineering context?

    Modulus for X Axis: Can You Stop Negative Values?

    y = |x| can't go below the y-axis because a Modulus is always positive, but can you get a modulus that stops x going negitive? Could this be used for things like radioactive decay where the graph should go in -x but doesn't because you can't have - time?
