s = ut + 1/2at2
= (-7)(2) + (9)22
=4m
v2 = u2 + 2as
(-7)2 = 252 + 2a(50)
a = -5.76ms-2
v = u + at

applied, the cars speed increase linearly with time.

If X is replaced by a higher resistance, the current flowing through the

potentiometer wire will decrease. This causes the potential difference per unit
length of the potentiometer wire to decrease. To balance the e.m.f. of , a
balance length that is longer than l is needed.
