A solid sphere moves at a terminal velocity of $20m/s$ in air at a place where $g = 9.8m/s^2.$ The sphere is taken in a gravity free hall having air at the same pressure and pushed down at a speed of $20m/s$
→- Its initial acceleration will be $9.8m/s^2$ downward.
- Its initial acceleration will be $9.8m/s^2$ upward.
- The magnitude of acceleration will decrease as the time passes.
- It will eventually stop.
Two parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ each having capacitance of $10 \mu F$ are individually charged by a $100\,V$ $D.C.$ source. Capacitor $C _1$ is kept connected to the source and a dielectric slab is inserted between it plates. Capacitor $C _2$ is disconnected from the source and then a dielectric slab is inserted in it. Afterwards the capacitor $C_1$ is also disconnected from the source and the two capacitors are finally connected in parallel combination. The common potential of the combination will be $.........V.$ (Assuming Dielectric constant $=10$ )
