First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.
(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.
<h3>
Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>
q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)
q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)
0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)
0.5 = e-^(t/RC)
1/2 = e-^(t/RC)
t/RC = ln(2)
t = RC x ln(2)
t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)
t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s
t = 2.2 ms
<h3>
Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>
U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)
U = ¹/₂Q²/C
(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce
e^(2t/RC) = e
2t/RC = 1
t = RC/2
t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2
t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s
t = 1.59 ms
Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

Answer:
acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²
Explanation:
'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.
u = 0 m/s
After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.
t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s
Using
v = u + at
19.6 = 0 + 2a
a = 9.8 m/s²
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.
So Coulomb's Law states that

so if we double the charge on

and double the distance to

we plug these into the equation to find

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be

if I can remember my physics correctly.
Answer:
2.19 N/m
Explanation:
A damped harmonic oscillator is formed by a mass in the spring, and it does a harmonic simple movement. The period of it is the time that it does one cycle, and it can be calculated by:
T = 2π√(m/K)
Where T is the period, m is the mass (in kg), and K is the damping constant. So:
2.4 = 2π√(0.320/K)
√(0.320/K) = 2.4/2π
√(0.320/K) = 0.38197
(√(0.320/K))² = (0.38197)²
0.320/K = 0.1459
K = 2.19 N/m
