A kid's merry-go-round in a park is a thin 150 kg disk (I = ½ MR2) with a radius of 3 m mounted to rotate freely about a central axis. On the edge of %3D the disk is an essentially massless bar. A 25 kg child jumps onto the bar (tangentially to the outer rim of the disk) at a speed of 12 m/s and a distance of 3 m from the rotation axis. If we think of the child as being essentially a point mass, what is the angular velocity of the system after the collision?

An asteroid has a mass of m = 2.6 x 106 kg and is approaching Earth. When the asteroid is exactly 3 radii away from the Earth's centre, it's speed relative to the Earth's centre is u = 8.7 x 103 ms-1. The asteroid then falls to the Earth's surface, but remains intact without dissipating any energy as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. If the rotation of the asteroid and the Earth is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the asteroid just before it hits the ground? The Earth has mass ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. To find the relevant potential energies, you must use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2
