* A boy of mass m is standing on the edge of a merry-go-round platform, which is initially rotating with a constant rotational velocity
(initial state). The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round is l, and the rad us o' the platform is r. After me boy steps down from the platform, tangentially to its edge, the merry-go-round continues rotating with a smaller rotational velocity

- In testing an automobile tire for proper alignment, a technicianmarks a spot on the tire 0.200 m from the center. He then mountsthe tire in a vertical plane and notes that the radius vector to thespot is at an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. Starting from rest,the tire is spun rapidly with a constant angular acceleration of 3.00 rad/s2. a. What is the angular speed of the wheel after 4.00 s? b. What is the tangential speed of the spot after 4.00 s? c. What is the magnitude of the total accleration of the spot after 4.00 s?" d. What is the angular position of the spot after 4.00 s?arrow_forwardDuring a 6.0-s time interval, a fly-wheel with a constant angular acceleration turns through 500 radians that acquire an angular velocity of 100 rad/s.

- Lara is running just outside the circumference of a carousel, looking for her favorite horse to ride, with a constant angular speed of 1.00 rad/s. Just as she spots the horse, one-fourth of the circumference ahead of her, the carousel begins to move, accelerating from rest at 0.050 rad/s2. a. Taking the time when the carousel begins to move as t = 0, when will Lara catch up to the horse? b. Lara mistakenly passes the horse and keeps running at constant angular speed. If the carousel continues to accelerate at the same rate, when will the horse draw even with Lara again?arrow_forwardA system consists of a disk of mass 2.0 kg and radius 50 cm upon which is mounted an annular cylinder of mass 1.0 kg with inner radius 20 cm and outer radius 30 cm (see below).
