Abstract
We calculate the potential between two different stationary D-branes and the velocity dependent potential between two different moving D-branes. We identify configurations with some unbroken supersymmetry, using a zero force condition. The potentials are compared with an eleven dimensional calculation of the scattering of a zero black-brane from the 0, 2, 4 and 6 black-brane of type IIA supergravity. The agreement of these calculations provide further evidence for the D-brane description of black-branes, and for the eleven dimensional origin of type IIA string theory.
