    Confusion Calculating Young's Modulus

    'Gummy 1' = Black Line 'Gummy 2' = Orange Line Approach: Using the diameter given and the force measurements on the vertical axis of the graph, I've worked out the cross-sectional area of the mold to be 0.000706858, which I've rounded to 0.00071. Using this data and the equation Stress = F/A...

    Which material has the greatest Young's Modulus?

    My answer is (B) since it has the highest slope for the straight line part of the graph but the answer key is (A). Is it because the slope of graph B will decrease until the value less than slope A? So we don't only consider the straight line part but the whole graph? Thanks

    Determine equivalent Young's Modulus

    We need to find a single wire supporting the load. But, when I think about it there can so many different types of materials we could use for the single wire and each of these single wires would have a different Young's Modulus. So, I don't get what equivalent means here? Anyways, I get the...

    B Suggestions for Internal Assessment Project on Young's Modulus

    Hi. I am in the IB and am looking at doing a physics IA (internal assessment) on Young's modulus on an elastic material. I was thinking of doing it on the the stretchy snakes like the candy. What would I need to cover in this?

    B Why is Young's modulus constant below the limit of proportionality?

    Hi all, I'm a little confused about something. Force-extension graphs and stress-strain graphs are always both straight lines up until the limit of proportionality, implying both the spring constant and the Young modulus are constant up until then. For a force-extension graph, Hooke's Law...

    Relation between Young's modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion

    Is it true for all material that if young's modulus is high then melting point will be high and coeff of thermal expansion will be lower? Any example that doesn't follow the above statement. Many Thanks

    Young modulus (deriving formula)

    Quoted from my book: "The graph of ΔL against F has gradient L/EA, so the Young modulus E is equal to L(A x gradient)." E is (stress/strain). I don't understand that sentence. If I substitute the gradient into E= L(A x gradient), then E= L(A)(L/EA) E= L(L/E) E= L^2 /E E square = L square...
