The merry-go-round accelerates from rest up to 0.40 rev/s in 10 s. a. What is the angular acceleration of the merry-go-round? Express this in radians/second. b. What is the angular velocity at 5 s? c. Calculate the centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration at 5 s. d. What is the total acceleration at 5 s? e. If the coefficient of static friction between the child and the surface of the merry-go-round is 0.6, does the child fall off before 5 s? Hint: To determine this, calculate the frictional force and force due to the acceleration of the merry-go-round on the child. Compare the two forces to find which is larger than the other, therefore overcomes the other.arrow_forwardA “blink of an eye” is a time interval of about 150 ms for an average adult.
