(there could be more than one correct choice.) a) increase the charge on the plates b) decrease the poten5al between the plates c) increase the potential between the plates d) introduce a dielectric material between the plates e) decrease the separation between the plates

Two horses begin at rest. after a few seconds, horse a is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s west, while horse b is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s west. which horse had a greater acceleration? a. horse a because its change in velocity was greater than horse b's in the same time. b. horse b because its change in velocity was greater than horse a's in the same time. c. horse b because its change in velocity was the same as horse a's, but it took less time. d. both horses had the same acceleration.

Which of the following conditions lead you to see an absorption line spectrum from a cloud of gas in interstellar space? the cloud is extremely hot. the cloud is visible primarily because it reflects light from nearby stars. the cloud is cool and lies between you and a hot star. the cloud is cool and very dense, so that you cannot see any objects that lie behind it.
