why not C? :/ increasingthe resistance of resistor will decrease the Potential difference across the plates & hence the Electric field.. no?:/

why not D?
Height does not increase uniformly as the ball goes up, since s = ut + 1/2*a*t^2.
Thus neither does the gpe.

The line isnt straight when it goes up as you can see.

but the bottom plate is earthed so it should possess no charge nd shud be neutral, no?
When the negatively charged plate is brought close to the initially neutral plate, the electrons in the bottom plate are repelled away and move into the earth, since a wire is connected so the electrons are able to flow away. This makes the bottom plate become overall positively charged, since there are more protons than electrons.

Doesn't the horizontal component of velocity always remain the same? (projectiles chapter)
Then how is it D? :/

I'm getting A ... the load is in kg and the extension should be in metres
force = area under graph
= trapezium rule = .5 x (3.8+2) x (10 x 10^-3)
This gives 0.028 and not 0.28 ... but the answer is C ...... how??

That is when air resistance is ignored. However in this case air resistasnce is not ignored, so you'd expect the horizontal component to decrease to zero.
So when there is no air resistance, horizontal component will always decrease?
