A merry - go- round with a mass of 300 kg is spinning about an axis through its center with an angular speed of 5.2 2rad / s . A 45 kg child hops straight downward onto the outer edge of the merry -go -round . What is the rotational speed in rotations per minute ( rpm) of the merry -go round , once the child hops on Treat the merry go round as a solid disc and treat the child as a point mass.

- A disk of mass (m) and radius (R) is spinning counterclockwise about its axis of symmetry with angular speed (w). A blob of class of mass (mc) is dropped onto the disk at a distance (d) from its center and sticks to the disk. What is the final angular speed of the system? Assume there is an axle through the center of the disk, and that the disk is spinning around an axle through its center, like a turntable. Also assume d<Rarrow_forwardA 33.2 kg boy and a 22.0 kg girl are standing at the edge of a 161 kg merry-go-round of radius 1.41 m that is currently rotating at 32.0 rpm. The two kids then walk inward toward the center of the merry-go-round; while the boy reaches the center, the girl stops halfway. Given their new positions, what is the new rate of rotation of the merry-go-round (in rpm)? For simplicity's sake, you may treat the kids as point masses and the merry-go-round as a flat disk. Hint: Figure 10.12 in the textbook provides a good refresher on the various moments of inertia!arrow_forwardA solid, uniform disk of radius 0.250 m and mass 49.0 kg rolls down a ramp of length 3.80 m that makes an angle of 12.0° with the horizontal.

- A kid runs towards the edge of a merry-go-round that is not rotating and jumps on. The merry-go-round then rotates with a constant angular velocity ω. Assume that the kid has a mass of 40 kg and is initially running at a speed of 2 m/s tangent to the edge of the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round is a uniform disk with a mass of 120 kg and a radius of 2 m. Assume that it rotates without friction.

Neglect the effect of the ball on his center of mass so that his center of mass remains in his geometrical center. rad/s (c) Compare the initial and final total kinetic energies.
