Question 1 A merry-go-round of mass M and radius R rotates about a vertical axis through its center with an angular speed of w. The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its axis of rotation is MR². A child of mass m runs at the merry-go-round tangentially, jumps into the air, and, landing with speed v (again, tangential to the merry-go-round), grabs onto its edge. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round just after the child lands on it? Note: The moment of inertia of a point mass (M) about an axis a distance R away is I = MR² and the angular momentum of an object moving with momentum p at a location relative to an axis is L = F x p
