For a set of very long (essentially infinitely long) charged parallel plates, the electric field between them is constant, and the electric field is given by

E = ΔV/d

ΔV is the potential difference between the plates and d is the distance of their separation.

If d is halved but E stays constant, then by the relationship above, ΔV must also have been halved.

A. Potential difference was halved.

Answer:

<u>Resolving</u><u> </u><u>horizontally</u><u>.</u> :

\sum d_{x} =  - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\  { \underline{d _{x} =  -  5.702 \: m}} \\  \\  \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0  \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y}  =  - 11.476 \: m}}

therefore, for resultant:

d =  \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x}  {}^{2}  }

substitute:

d =  \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} +  {( - 11.476)}^{2}  }  \\  \\ d =  \sqrt{164.211}  \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}

What are all stars made of
ivolga24 [154]
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.
