A child m = 30 kg runs at vi = 5 m/s tangentially to a small playground merry-go-round, aiming at the edge with idea of jumping on and spinning around. The merry-go-round has mass 80 kg, radius 1m, and can be modeled as a thin solid disk.
1. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the child jumps on?
2. After the merry-go-round turns through 270◦ , the child jumps off the merry-go-round radially and tumbles away at vf = 0.75 m/s. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the child jumps off?
3. What force was applied to allow the child to change his or her linear momentum (comparing before and after interacting with the merry-go-round)?

A football player runs for a distance d1 = 8.55 m in 1.33 s, at an angle of θ = 62.1degrees to the 50-yard line, then turns left and runs a distance d2 = 10.68 m in 2.19 s, in a direction perpendicular to the 50-yard line. The diagram shows these two displacements relative to an xy coordinate system, where the x axis is parallel to the 50-yard line, and the y axis is perpendicular to the 50-yard line. What angle, in degrees, does the displacement make with the y axis? (Note that the angle θ was given as measured from the x axis rather than the y axis.)

Originally, light is unpolarized. It then travels through 3 polarizers: the first with its transmission axis aligned vertical, the next at a 30 degree angle to the vertical and the last aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (tilted the same direction as the first with respect to the vertical). The original intensity of light is 4 W/m2.
1-What is the intensity of light after the second polarizer?
2-What is the intensity of light after the third polarizer?
3-If the second polarizer is aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (just like the third), what is the final intensity of light after the third polarizer?
4- If the second polarizer is aligned at a 45 degree angle to the vertical (but in the other direction), what is the final intensity of light after the third polarizer?

A coil is wrapped with 226 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (of radius 70 cm). Each turn has the same area, equal to that of the frame. A uniform magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil. This field changes at a constant rate from 22 mT to 61 mT in 79 ms. What is the magnitude of the induced average E in the coil, over the time interval 79 ms during which the field changes? Answer in units of V.

A stopper on a string is swung horizontally over a student’s head. The other end of the string is connected to a 0.200 kg mass that remains stationary. If the stopper completes 20 revolutions in 5.5 seconds with a radius of 0.75 m, then what is the mass of the stopper? Hint: In order to be in equilibrium, the vertical weight of the mass in N, needs to equal the centripetal force of the stopper. To find the velocity of the stopper, you will need to multiply the circumference it would travel by how many revolutions it has made, and divide that by the time

Two small loudspeakers emit sound waves of different frequencies equally in all directions. Speaker A has an output of 1.30 mW, and speaker B has an output of 1.90 mW. Two speakers A and B are represented as points which serve as the centers of concentric circles representing sound waves emanating from the speakers. The concentric circles about speaker A are spaced more closely together than the concentric circles about speaker B. The points lie along a horizontal line, and speaker A is 5.00 m to the left of speaker B. A vertical line is drawn that intersects the horizontal line at a distance of 3.00 m from the left speaker and 2.00 m from the right speaker. Point C lies along this vertical line at a distance of 4.00 m above the point of intersection. (a) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if only speaker A emits sound.
