Answer:

The velocity of the merry-go-round after the boy hops on the merry-go-round is 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round = 600 kg·m²

The radius of the merry-go-round = 3.0 m

The mass of the boy = 20 kg

The speed with which the boy approaches the merry-go-round = 5.0 m/s

F_T \cdot r = I \cdot \alpha  = m \cdot r^2  \cdot \alpha

Where;

F_T = The tangential force

I =  The rotational inertia

m = The mass

α = The angular acceleration

r = The radius of the merry-go-round

For the merry go round, we have;

I_m \cdot \alpha_m  = I_m \cdot \dfrac{v_m}{r \cdot t}

I_m = The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round

\alpha _m = The angular acceleration of the merry-go-round

v _m = The linear velocity of the merry-go-round

t = The time of motion

For the boy, we have;

I_b \cdot \alpha_b  = m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t}

Where;

I_b = The rotational inertia of the boy

\alpha _b = The angular acceleration of the boy

v _b = The linear velocity of the boy

t = The time of motion

When the boy jumps on the merry-go-round, we have;

I_m \cdot \dfrac{v_m}{r \cdot t} = m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t}

Which gives;

v_m = \dfrac{m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t} \cdot r \cdot t}{I_m} = \dfrac{m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot v_b}{I_m}

From which we have;

v_m =  \dfrac{20 \times 3^2  \times 5}{600} =  1.5

The velocity of the merry-go-round, v_m, after the boy hops on the merry-go-round = 1.5 m/s.

If you have lifted 10 pounds 2 feet, you have done ___ foot-pounds of work.
nasty-shy [4]
Work = Force x distance
          (10 pounds)(2 feet)
Work = 20 foot-pounds of work

hope this helps :)
