Answer:
The coefficient of static friction is 0.29
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m
The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.
We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.
v is the speed of cat, 
So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.
First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
There is a threshold frequency for each metal, and only light of a frequency higher than this threshold causes electrons to be emitted from the metal surface.
That would be a frequency of 1.2666... beats per second. This can be phrased as your heart beats at 1.27 Hz.
The absolute magnitude of the star would be +5.
