  We compute the expectation values of both the time-like and the light-like
Wilson loops in a strongly coupled plasma of (p+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills
theories using gravity/gauge theory correspondence. From the time-like Wilson
loop we obtain the velocity dependent quark-antiquark potential where the
dipole is moving through the plasma with an arbitrary velocity 0<v<1 and also
obtain expressions for the screening lengths. When the velocity v--> 1, the
Wilson loop becomes light-like and we obtain the form of the jet quenching
parameter in those strongly coupled plasma.
