The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is
a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration
Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:
0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s
If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is

where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both. This is called a voltage divider
relation between potential difference and electric field is given as

so here we know that
d = 3 cm



So now when plates are separated to 4 cm distance carefully
the potential difference between them will change but the electric field between them will remain constant
So at distance of 4 cm also the electric field will be E = 1000 N/C
