At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the release of a large, compressed spring. Th
e spring with a force constant 37.0 N/cm and negligible mass rests on the frictionless horizontal surface. One end is in contact with a stationary wall. A sled and rider with total mass 66.0 kg are pushed against the other end, compressing the spring 0.370 m. The sled is then released with zero initial velocity.
What is the sled's speed when the spring is still compressed 0.180 m?

Answer:
A point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.
Explanation:
We can find the distance with the following equation since the acceleration is cero (the disk rotates at a constant rate):
Where:
v: is the tangential speed of the disk
t: is the time = 30 s
The tangential speed can be found as follows:
Where:
ω: is the angular speed = 100 rpm
r: is the radius = 50 cm = 0.50 m
Now, the distance traveled by the disk is:
Therefore, a point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.
