Answer:

E the electric field remains unchanged.

Explanation:

potential difference between the plates of a capacitor

V = Q / C  Where Q is charge on the capacitor and C is capacity of capacitor

Here Q is unchanged.

C the capacity has value equal to ε A / d

Here d is distance between plates. when  it is halved, capacitance C becomes double.

V = Q /C , When C becomes double V becomes half

E = V/d , E is electric field between plates having separation of d.

When V becomes half and d also becomes half , there is no change in the value of E.  

Hence E the electric field remains unchanged.

Object A attracts object B with a gravitational force of 10 Newton’s from a given distance. If the distance between the two obje
madam [21]

If the distance between two objects is doubled, then the gravitational forces between them become (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original gravitational forces.

If the magnitude of those forces was 10 Newtons before the move then they're 2.5 Newtons after it.

I changed the wording of the discussion to plural, because the wording in the question is misleading.  It shouldn't say "Object A attracts Object B" and then let it go at that.  Gravitational forces ALWAYS occur in equal pairs.  If Object B feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object A, then Object A feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object B.  

The masses don't even matter.  Gravity is always there equally in both directions.  Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you !

suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 j when you dropped it. What would be its kinetic energy just as it hit the ground. (i
Andru [333]
Since we are ignoring air resistance which is a non-conservative force, the potential energy will be completely converted into kinetic energy, resulting in a final kinetic energy of 5J.

Ocean currents near the equator are primarily: eastward westward north and south clockwise
sladkih [1.3K]
Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.
