A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.98 m and moment of inertia I = 193 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of ω = 1.45 rad/s in the counter clockwise direection when viewed from above. A person with mass m = 67 kg and velocity v = 4.9 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry-go-round. Once at the merry-go-round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of the merry-go-round.
1) What is the magnitude of the initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round?
2) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round?
3) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person just before she jumps on to the merry-go-round?
4) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person jumps on?
5) Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?
6) Once the person gets half way around, they decide to simply let go of the merry-go-round to exit the ride.
What is the magnitude of the linear velocity of the person right as they leave the merry-go-round?
7) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person lets go?

Scrappers Supplies tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each accounting period but applies its inventory costing method at the end of each period, as if it uses a periodic inventory system. Assume its accounting records provided the following information at the end of the annual accounting period, December 31. |
| Transactions | Units | Unit Cost | |||||||
| Beginning inventory, January 1 | 200 | $ | 38 | ||||||
| Transactions during the year: | |||||||||
| a. | Purchase on account, March 2 | 350 | 40 | ||||||
| b. | Cash sale, April 1 ($54 each) | (350 | ) | ||||||
| c. | Purchase on account, June 30 | 250 | 44 | ||||||
| d. | Cash sale, August 1 ($54 each) | (70 | ) | ||||||
|
TIP: Although the purchases and sales are listed in chronological order, Scrappers determines the cost of goods sold after all of the purchases have occurred. |
| Required: | |

Upon graduating from college, your parents host a graduation party in celebration for you at their house.
50 of your friends attend along with several family members and neighbors. At the end of the party everyone is departing the house. As the last guests filter out the front door, you thank them for attending and close the door.
3 minutes later you hear a loud knock on the front door. You open the door and see that one of your trusted friends is standing there and is very upset. She tells you that after getting into her car she realized her $9,000 Rolex watch was missing. Immediately, you, your friend and your family members conduct a search of the house, front yard and your friend's pocketbook, coat pockets and vehicle to no avail - the watch cannot be located.
Questions:
1) Should you call the police?
2) Is this apparent loss covered by the parents' home owner's insurance?
3) If not, what insurance might cover this loss?
4) What should happen if your friend receives a replacement watch via an insurance claim then, 3 months later, your mother calls you to say she discovered the lost watch on the ground while pruning a front lawn plant?
