Andy (whose mass is 31.0 kg) and Ollie (whose mass is 23.2 kg) are standing at the center of a 135 kg merry-go-round of radius 1.44 m that is already spinning at 39.1 rpm. They proceed to walk in opposite directions toward the edge of the merry-go-round. If Andy reaches the edge while Ollie is halfway between the center and the edge, what will be the new angular velocity of the merry-go-round (in rpm)? For simplicity's sake, you may treat the children as point masses and the merry-go-round as a disk.
If, at the end of the previous question, a third child suddenly jumps onto the edge of the merry-go-round, what happens to its motion?

Two children (m = 31.0 kg each) stand opposite each other on the edge of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round, which has a mass of 1.78 ✕ 102 kg and a radius of 1.2 m, is spinning at a constant rate of 0.48 rev/s. Treat the two children and the merry-go-round as a system. (a) Calculate the angular momentum of the system, treating each child as a particle. (Give the magnitude.) (b) Calculate the total kinetic energy of the system. (c)...
A 3-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 270 kg is spinning at 20 rpm. John runs around the merry-go-round at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John’s mass is 33 kg . What is the merry-go-round's angular speed, in rpm, after John jumps on?
equipment. A 3.0-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 300 kg is spinning at 15 rpm . John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 4.8 m/s , in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 30 kg. Part A: What is the merry-go-round's angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?
1. Two childre, each with a mass of 22.1 kg are standing on the edge of a merry go round that is spinning with an angular veloctiy of 2.1 rad/s. The merry go round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 1.45m. a. The children can be treated as particles and the merry go round can be treated like a spinning disk. Treating them this way, what is the total moment of inertia of thr children and...
A boy of mass 35.2 kg is standing on the edge of a merry-go-round which is at rest. The merry-go-round is a flat disk of mass 59.3 kg and radius 2.3m (the moment of inertia of a cylinder is ½ mr^2 ), turning on a frictionless pivot. The boy starts to walk around the edge of the merry-go-round in the clock-wise direction (when viewed from the top). When the boy is moving at 2.4 m/s relative to the merry-go-round: a....
A 2.4-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 210 kg is spinning at 20 rpm. John runs around the merry-go-round at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 35 kg. Part A What is the merry-go-round's angular speed, in rpm, after John jumps on? Express your answer in revolutions per minute. O AC O ? W = | rpm rpm Submit Request Answer
5. A 3.0 m diameter merry-go-round (mass 200 kg) is spinning at 10 rpm. A child of 30.0 kg runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 2.0 m/s, in the opposite direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. Calculate the merry-go-round's angular velocity, immediately after the child jumps on.
A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 2.8-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 260 kg is spinning at 22 rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 39 kg. What is the merry-go-round's angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?
Two children, Angelica (mass 35 kg ) and Boris (mass 50 kg ), are playing on a merry-go-round (which you can assume is a solid disk with mass 200 kg and radius 1.5m). Assume that any friction on the axle of the merry-go-round is negligible. 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 9 m/s directly toward the center of the...
Two children, Angelica (mass 35 kg ) and Boris (mass 45 kg ), are playing on a merry-go-round (which you can assume is a solid disk with mass 250 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 7 rad/s , then she stops pushing it. Boris runs with a speed of 7 m/s directly toward the center of...
