<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>
When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a measure of the ability of a capacitor to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is a constant defined as:
To maintain 
constant, if Q increases V also increases.
On the other hand, the potential energy 
can be expressed as:
In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.
Answer:
<em>d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u
we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.
For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that
F = (u - 0)/t = u/t
for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,
F = u
For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to
F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t
just as the we did above, it becomes
F = 2u.
From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that <em>the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

Deceleration isn't a term in physics; you can have positive acceleration which is speeding up and negative acceleration which is slowing down
Use newton's law F = ma
a = F/m
