The initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the uniform acceleration of go-kart is given as 0.5 m/s². Also the time required by it to stop is also given as 5 s. As acceleration is the measure of change in velocity per unit time.

In this case, the velocity should be changed from a value to zero to come to rest. So the initial velocity will be positive value and final velocity is zero.

As we know the values of acceleration, final velocity and time, the initial velocity can be easily determined as follows.

Acceleration = \frac{Final velocity -Initial velocity}{Time}

Since, final velocity is zero, acceleration is 0.5 m/s² and time is 5 s, then,

        -0.5=\frac{-\text {Initial velocity}}{5}

        Initial velocity = 0.5 × 5 = 2.5 m/s.

So the initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

A coin is dropped. What is its displacement after 0.30 s.
Morgarella [4.7K]
Assuming this coin is on earth and that it wasn’t dropped forcefully:
Use the formula d = 1/2at^2. Rewriting using a=g and solving for height h gets us h = 1/2(9.8)t^2.
In this case that would get that the change in height h is 0.5(9.8)(0.3^2) = 0.441 m.

Temka [501]
Similar elements with similar properties were in the same groups and periods for instance lithium(Li) and sodium(Na) are alkaline metals and so belong to the same group (that is group 1).Also Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He) both have only one shell or energy level and so belong to the same period.

Now imagine a person dragging a 50 kg box along the ground with a rope, as
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is, μ = 0.061

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the box, m = 50 kg

The force exerted by the person, F = 50 N

The time period of motion, t = 10 s

The frictional force acting on the box, f = 30 N

The normal force on the box, η = mg

                                                     = 50 x 9.8

                                                     = 490 N

The coefficient of friction,

                            μ = f/ η

                               = 30 / 490

                               = 0.061

Hence, the coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is, μ = 0.061
