Question
A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a merry-go-round, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between here and the axis of rotation. The merry-go-round makes a complete revolution once each second. What is the speed of the ladybug? Write a brief explanation for why that answer is correct. It would be appropriate to include the equations used for uniform circular motion.
(A) 1/4 the ladybug's speed.
(B) 1/2 the ladybug's speed.
(C) the same as the ladybug's speed.
(D) twice the ladybug's speed.
(E) four times the ladybug's speed.

- A skier/snowboarder starts at rest at the top of a snowy (friction-free) hill with height h1. After the bottom of this hill there is a small “jump” hill. The top of the jump has height h2 and a curvature of radius R. What is the minimum height of the starting hill, h1min, so that the skier/snowboarder jumps or “catches air” at the top of hill 2? Solve for h1min in terms of h2, R, and g.
