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.

A 20-kg rocket sled is sliding up a 30 degree, 10-m high snow ski jumping hill from rest with constant thrust. The kinetic friction coefficient between the sled and snow is 0.2. The engine is turned off when the sled leaves the hill and it lands 50-m away from where it left the hill at ground level. The drag due to air resistance is negligible. What is the magnitude of thrust of the rocket sled? Edit: This is the question...
