A playground merry-go-round has radius 2...

A playground merry-go-round has radius `2 m` and moment of inertia `2000 kg m^(2)` about a vertical axle through its center.
(a) A boy applies `50 N` force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for `20 s`. If the merry-go-round is initially at rest, what is its angular speed after `20 s`?
(b) How much work did the boy do on the merry-go-round?
(c) What is the average power supplied by the child?
(d) What is the instantaneous power supplied by the child at `t=20 s`?

Why do you feel giddy while moving on a merry-go-round ?

A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 2.00 has a moment of inertia I = 250 kg.m^2 and is rotating 10.0 rev//min about a frictionless, vertical axle. Facing axle, a 25.0-kg child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down on the edge. The new angular speed of the merry-go-round is.

A playground merry-go-round is at rest, pivoted about a frictionless axis. A child of mass m runs along a path tangential to the rim with speed v and jumps on to the merry-go-round. If R is the radius of the merry-go-round and I is its moment of inertia, then the angular velocity of the merry-go-round is

Why does a child in a merry - go - round press the side of his seat radially outward ?

A certain merry-go-round is accelerated uniformly from rest and attains an angular speed of 0.4 rad/s in the first 10 s. If the net applied torque is 2000 N*m , what is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round?

A horizontal 9 kg merry-go-round is a solid disk of radius 1.50 m and is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 50.0 N applied tangentially to the edge of the disk. The kinetic energy of the disk after 3.00 s is.
