A baseball bat hits a ball is an example of contact force.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Contact force is defined as those forces which are acting between two bodies by actually touch between two bodies.

In case of the book falling to ground, the force acting is the gravitational force. Gravitational force acts even when two bodies aren't in contact. So its a non contact force.

Similar is the condition of the leaf and ground where the gravitational force acts.

The magnetic force between the paper clip and the magnet is also non contact force, which acts even when two bodies aren't in contact.

But the bat hitting the ball is having direct contact between the two bodies, and their contact is what makes the ball fly off. So its a contact force.

Second:Cut the wire (if needed) so that there is about a couple inches loose at the other end too.

Third: Now remove about an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and connect the one wire to one end of a battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery.

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two square plates, size L×L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge ±
gladu [14]

Answer:

E(final)/E(initial)=2

Explanation:

Applying the law of gauss to two parallel plates with  charge density equal σ:

E=\sigma/\epsilon_{o}=Q/(L^{2}*\epsilon_{o})\\

So, if the charge is doubled the Electric field is doubled too

E(final)/E(initial)=2
