Question

Please I want someone to answer it clearly and step by step

A child of mass 30 kg runs at a speed of 3.0 m/s tangent to the edge of a playground merry-go-round, which is initially at rest. The child jumps onto the edge of the merry-go-round and then remains at rest relative to it. The merry-go-round has a mass of 150 kg and a radius of 1.5 m, and it may be considered to be a uniform solid disk (I = 1/2 mr^2). (a) Find the angular velocity of the merry-go-round plus child just after the child jumps on. (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the force required to keep the child on the merry-go-round immediately after jumping on? (c) If the combination of merry-go-round plus child comes to a stop in 10 complete revolutions, how long does it take to come to rest assuming constant deceleration?

Explanation / Answer

(a)

initial angular momentum Li = m*v*r


final angular momentum Lf = (Idisk + m*r^2)*w


from conservation of angular momentum


Lf = Li

(Idisk + m*r^2)*w = m*v*r


(((1/2)*150*1.5^2) + (30*1.5^2))*w = 30*3*1.5


w = 0.57 rad/s    <<<<<-----ANSWER

============================

(b)


force = m*r*w^2 = 3*1.5*0.57^2 = 1.46 N <<<<<-----ANSWER


direction towards the centr

================

(c)


final nagualr velocity wf = 0

theta = (wf+wi)*t/2

theta = angular displacement = 10 rev = 10*2*pi rad

10*2pi = (0.57+0)*t/2


t = 220.5 s <<<<<------answer
