A child of mass 53.7 kg sits on the edge of a merry-go-round with radius 2.2 m and mo- ment of inertia 205.327 kgm2. The merry- go-round rotates with an angular velocity of 1.6 rad/s. The child then walks towards the center of the merry-go-round and stops at a distance 0.836 m from the center. Now what is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round? Answer in units of rad/s.

2.068 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of child, m = 53.7 Kg

radius of merry-go-round, r = 2.2 m

moment of inertia of merry-go-round,I = 205.327 kgm²

Initial angular speed, ω = 1.6 rad/s

distance moved by the child, r' =   0.836 m

Using conservation of angular momentum

The new angular speed of the merry-go-round when child moves inside is equal to 2.068 rad/s.

i'm on my way to history not a mistory.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
