Consider the child's playground merry-go-round wheel.

Merry Go Round If the steel disk has mass of 200 kg and a radius of 2 meters you can make it spin by applying a force to the rim. This torque increases the angular momentum of the disk. Suppose the force is 20 newtons. How long would you have to apply it to get the wheel spinning 5 times a minute? What would happen to the rate of spin if you then jumped on the rim of the wheel with your mass of 60 kg?

Explain your answer.

A playground merry-go-round has a disk-shaped platform that rotates with negligible friction about a vertical axis. The disk has a mass of 200 kg and a radius of 1.6 m. A 34- kg child rides at the center of the merry-go-round while a playmate sets it turning at 0.15rpm. If the child then walks along a radius to the outer edge of the disk, how fast will the disk be turning? (in rpm - but enter no unit)

A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 3.0-mm-diameter merry-go-round, which can be modeled as a disk with a mass of 220 kg, is spinning at 24 rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 5.6 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 30 kg.

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.63 m and mass 155 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.570 rev/s. A 59.4-kg person running tangential to the rim of the merry-go-round at 3.82 m/s jumps onto its rim and holds on. Before jumping on the merry-go-round, the person was moving in the same direction as the merry-go-round's rim. (a) Does the kinetic energy of the system increase, decrease, or stay the same when the person jumps on the merry-go-round? (b)...

Three children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of 105 kg and a radius of 1.60 m . The merry‑go‑round is spinning at 22.0 rpm. The children have masses of 22.0, 28.0, and 33.0 kg. If the 28.0 kg child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children...
