Three children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is a solid disk with a mass of 102 kg and a radius of 1.53 m. The

merry-go-round is initially spinning at 9.71 revolutions/minute. The children have masses of 31.7 kg, 29.0 kg and 31.9 kg. If the child who has a mass of 29.0 kg moves to the center of the merry-go-round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions/minute

Three children of masses and their position on the merry go round

M1 = 22kg

M2 = 28kg

M3 = 33kg

They are all initially riding at the edge of the merry go round

Then, R1 = R2 = R3 = R = 1.7m

Mass of Merry go round is

M =105kg

Radius of Merry go round.

R = 1.7m

Angular velocity of Merry go round

ωi = 22 rpm

If M2 = 28 is moves to center of the merry go round then R2 = 0, what is the new angular velocity ωf

Using conservation of angular momentum

Initial angular momentum when all the children are at the edge of the merry go round is equal to the final angular momentum when the second child moves to the center of the merry go round  Then,

L(initial) = L(final)

Ii•ωi = If•ωf

So we need to find the initial and final moment of inertia

NOTE: merry go round is treated as a solid disk then I= ½MR²

I(initial)=½MR²+M1•R²+M2•R²+M3•R²

I(initial) = ½MR² + R²(M1 + M2 + M3)

I(initial) = ½ × 105 × 1.7² + 1.7²(22 + 28 + 33)

I(initial) = 151.725 + 1.7²(83)

I(initial) = 391.595 kgm²

Final moment of inertial when R2 =0

I(final)=½MR²+M1•R²+M2•R2²+M3•R²

Since R2 = 0

I(final) = ½MR²+ M1•R² + M3•R²

I(final) = ½MR² + (M1 + M3)• R²

I(final)=½ × 105 × 1.7² + ( 22 +33)•1.7²

I(final) = 151.725 + 158.95

I(final) = 310.675 kgm²

Now, applying the conservation of angular momentum

L(initial) = L(final)

Ii•ωi = If•ωf

391.595 × 22 = 310.675 × ωf

Then,

ωf = 391.595 × 22 / 310.675

ωf = 27.73 rpm

Answer: So, the final angular momentum is 27.73 revolution per minute

Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.
Alika [10]
Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)
