Today we can make observations that would lead us to the same conclusion as newton. If you throw a baseball in the air, it always comes back down. This is because of gravity. duh.
To determine the centroid of the object first moment of area is used.
To predict the resistance of a shape to bending and deflection which are directly proportional, second moment of area is used.
E = (1/2)CV²
1 = (1/2)*(2*10⁻⁶)V²
10⁶ = V²
1000 = V
You should charge it to 1000 volts to store 1.0 J of energy.
