A child of mass mc = 35 kg stands on the rim of a
frictionless merry go round, which acts like a solid disk of mass
mm = 55 kg and radius r = 1.1 m. With the merry go round
at rest, they throw a rock of mass mr = 1.0 kg with a
velocity v = 18 m/s relative to the ground in a direction
horizontal to the ground, and tangent to the rim of the merry go
round.
- What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock
around the axis of the merry go round?
- What is the angular velocity of the merry go round after the
rock is thrown?
- One of the child’s friends holds their hand against the rim of
the merry go round and causes it to stop in a time interval of 3.2
s. What is the magnitude of the frictional force applied?
