A merry-goround (disk of mass m = 200 kg, radius R = 1.6m) is rotating clockwise at a an angular speed of w = 0.5 rad s . A kid of mass m = 50kg is riding on the edge of the merry-go-round. At a particular point in time, the kid jumps off the merry-go-round at a speed v = 5.0 m/s relative to the ground, at an angle of 53 degrees below the x-axis. Part 1: What is the initial angular momentum of the system (kid + merry-go-round)? Part 2: What is the final angular velocity of the merry-go-round?

Two children, each with a mass of 24.6 kg, are at fixed locations on a merry-go-round (a disk that spins about an axis perpendicular to the disk and through its center). One child is 0.78 m from the center of the merry-go-round, and the other is near the outer edge, 2.79 m from the center. With the merry-go-round rotating at a constant angular speed, the child near the edge is moving with translational speed of 11.0 m/s. (a) What is...

Two children, Angelica (mass 25 kg) and Boris (mass 50 kg), are playing on a merry-go-round (which you can assume is a solid disk with mass 225 kg and radius 1.5m). Assume that any friction on the axle of the merry-go-round is negligible. Part A: Angelica starts spinning the merry-go-round, giving it an angular velocity of 8 rad/s, then she stops pushing it. Boris runs with a speed of 6 m/s directly toward the center of the merry-go-round. He jumps...
