2) A merry-go-round is rotating with a constant angular velocity of ω = 1.5 rad/s. There is a red line painted across the diameter of the merry-go-round. A beetle is traveling towards the center of the merrygo-round along the red line with a constant speed of 2 m/s relative to the merry-go-round.

a) Find the velocity of the beetle as measured by someone standing on the ground when the beetle is 0.5 m away from the center of the merry-go-round. 10 points

b) Find the acceleration of the beetle as measured by someone standing on the ground when the beetle is 0.5 m away from the center of the merry-go-round. 10 points

. In a park, four children are riding on a merry-go-round with a radius of 2.2 m and a mass of 300 kg. The children have an average mass of 45 kg each, and they are initially each standing 2.0 m from the center of the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round is rotating at a speed of 0.25 revolutions per second. The children then move inwards towards the center of the merry-go-round, so they are standing 0.5 m from the center. What...
