A playground merry-go-round is at rest, pivoted about a frictionless axis. A child of mass `m` runs along a path tangential to the rim with speed `v` and jumps on to the merry-go-round. If `R` is the radius of the merry-go-round and `I` is its moment of inertia, then the angular velocity of the merry-go-round isA. `(mvR)/(mR^(2)+I)`B. `(mvR)/(I)`C. `(mR^(2))/(mvR)`D. `(I)/(mvR)` |
Answer» `mvR=(I+mR^(2))omegaimpliesomega=(mvR)/(I+mR^(2))` | |
