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.

Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?
yanalaym [24]
Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day.  But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

\theta = \omega t\\\\\theta = (100 \frac{rev}{\min}  \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 s} ) \times (30 s)\\\\\theta = 100 \pi \ rad\\\\d = \theta r\\\\d = 100\pi  \ \times \ 0.5m\\\\d = 50 \pi \ m = 157.1 \ m

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m
