A playground merry-go-round of radius ? = 2.0 m has a moment of inertia ? = 250 kg ⋅ m^2 is rotating at 15 rpm about a frictionless, vertical axle. Facing the axle, a 25-kg child hops onto the merry-goround and manages to sit down on the edge. (a) (10 pts) What is the total angular momentum of the ‘merry-go-round-child’ system before and after the child hops on the the merry-go-round? (b) (10 pts) What is the new angular speed, in rad/s, of the merry-go-round? (c) (5 pts) How many seconds will it take for the system to cover 5.0 complete revolutions? (d) (10 pts) What is the total kinetic energy of the system before and after the child hops on the the merry-go-round?

A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 3m and a moment of inertia of 1500 kg...
A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 3m and a moment of
inertia of 1500 kg m^2. 4 kids sit at the outer edge with each kid
having a mass of 20 kg, and the merry-go-round spins at 1.75 rad/s.
If 2 of the 4 kids move to a position that is 0.3m from the center
of the merry-go-round, what is the new rotational speed of the
merry-go-round? No energy is lost to friction and the children are
point masses.

A playground merry-go-round (of mass 123 kg and radius 1.90 m)
is rotating with an angular velocity of 4.42 rad/s. A 23.7 kg
child, initially at rest, suddenly jumps on the merry-go-round by
grabbing onto its outer edge. How much kinetic energy (in J) is
lost in this inelastic collision?

A 20-kg child running at 2.0 m/s jumps onto a playground
merry-go-round that has inertia 180 kg and radius 1.6 m. She is
moving tangent to the platform when she jumps, and she lands right
on the edge. Ignore any friction in the axle about which the
platform rotates. What is the rotational speed of the
merry-go-round and the child if the merry-go-round started from
rest? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
