Answer:
B) I1 = 1680 kg.m^2 I2 = 1120 kg.m^2
C) V = 0.84m/s T = 29.92s
D) ω2 = 0.315 rad/s
Explanation:
The moment of inertia when they are standing on the edge:
where M is the mass of the merry-go-round.
I1 = 1680 kg.m^2
The moment of inertia when they are standing half way to the center:
I2 = 1120 kg.m^2
The tangencial velocity is given by:
V = ω1*R = 0.84m/s
Period of rotation:
T = 2π / ω1 = 29.92s
Assuming that there is no friction and their parents are not pushing anymore, we can use conservation of the angular momentum to calculate the new angular velocity:
I1*ω1 = I2*ω2 Solving for ω2:
ω2 = I1*ω1 / I2 = 0.315 rad/s
