A child runs and jumps onto the edge of a 4-meter-diameter
merry-go-round which is initially at rest.
The masses of the child and merry-go-round are 28 kg and 400 kg,
respectively. Assume that the
path of the child is tangent to the merry-go-round. If the child
has an initial velocity of 2.8 m/s...
a) Calculate the angular velocity of the merry-go-round/child
system after the child hops on.
b) Calculate the linear velocity of the child after hopping onto
the merry-go-round
