The angular speed of the merry-go-round is
ω = 0.10 rad/s

The angular moment of inertia of a mass, m, at a radius, r, from the center of the wheel is
I = mr²

Therefore, the angular moment of inertia for the children are
I₁ = (25 kg)*(1.0 m)² = 25 kg-m²
I₂ = (25 kg)*(1.5 m)² = 56.25 kg-m²

The combined angular momentum is
ω(I₁ + I₂) = (0.10 rad/s)*(25 + 56.25 kg-m²)
               = 8.125 (kg-m²)/s

Answer: 8.125 (kg-m²)/s

il63 [147K]
The car has slowed down because of the deceleration or decelerating force acting on it. The decelerating force acting on it is generated by the application of brakes or the frictional force acting in the opposite direction of car's motion.

A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 1.80 m has a moment of inertia I = 270 kg · m2 and is rotating at 8.0 rev/min about a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

\dot n = 6.042\,rpm

Explanation:

The final angle speed of the merry-go-round is determined with the help of the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(270\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot \left(8\,rpm\right) = [270\,kg\cdot m^{2}+(27\,kg)\cdot (1.80\,m)^{2}]\cdot \dot n

\dot n = 6.042\,rpm

In Figure 21-4 B, does the magnetic field -due to the current carrying wire- curve in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
weeeeeb [17]

The magnetic field between the poles of the horseshoe magnet in fig 21.4 B curves in the <u>counter clockwise direction.</u>

The magnetic field lines due to a straight current carrying conductor is given by the right hand thumb rule.  This rule is stated as follows: Imagine holding the current carrying conductor in your right hand with the thumb pointing in the direction of current, then the direction in which your fingers curve around the wire gives the direction of the magnetic field lines. The direction of the magnetic field lines at a point gives the direction of magnetic field at that point.

On applying this rule, it can be seen that the magnetic field  due to the conductor shown in Fig 21.4 B curves in the counter clockwise direction.
