Relation between acceleration of charge and storing energy
If two such conductors have a potential difference between them then as any potential difference is able to accelerate charged,the system effectively stores energy I want to know what is the relation between acceleration of charge and storing energy.

Physics Projectile motion
A bullet fired at an angle 60° with the vertical hits the levelled ground at distance of 200 m. Find the distance at which the bullet will hit the ground when fired at an angle of 30°(with same speed)
Asked Aabhash
Answer:
Both will have the same range since the angles θ and (90-θ) will result in the same range. For a given speed of projection there are two possible angles of projection to obtain the same range.

fluid flow
The window and door of house Are both left open a windy day. The door which opens inward tend to slum shut when it is slightly ajar,.explain
Riya Parekh asked.
Answer:
This is a consequence of the difference in presure. When there if flow of air, the speed of air outside will be more and therefore the pressure immediately outside the door becomes less than that inside and therefore it gets shut.
