A child of mass m=45kg runs at a speed v=3m/s tangent to the rim of a merry-go-round when it is at rest, and then jumps onto it. The merry-go-round has a mass M=140kg, a radius R=1.1m, and can be thought of as uniform disk. Neglecting friction in the bearings, find the angular velocity of the merry-go-round once the child jumped on.

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.
