A man stands at the center of a platform that rotates without friction with an angular speed of 2.46 rev/s. His arms are outstretched, and he holds a heavy weight in each hand. The moment of inertia of the man, the extended weights, and the platform is 14 kg*m^2. When the man pulls the weights inward toward his body, the moment of inertia decreases to 5.1 kg*m^2.

a) What is the resulting angular speed of the platform?

b) What is the kinetic energy of the system before the man pulls the weights to his body?

c) What is the change in kinetic energy of the system?

d) What is the kinetic energy of the system after the man pulls the weights to his body?

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 drunk man walking simulation A drunk man stands at origin. There is a cliff at x=10 and home at x=-10. He takes steps randomly left and right. Each step has the probability p of going left and q=1−p of going right. We desire to simulate and plot 100 random trajectories for the interval of 100 time instants. Once hit at home or cliff, a trajectory is stopped immediately and success or dead is declared. Otherwise, alive is declared. Obtain...
