A playground merry-go-round of radius `R = 2.00` has a moment of inert

1.	A playground merry-go-round of radius `R = 2.00` has a moment of inertia `I = 250 kg.m^2` and is rotating `10.0 rev//min` about a frictionless, vertical axle. Facing axle, a `25.0-kg` child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down on the edge. The new angular speed of the merry-go-round is.A. `5.25 rev//min`B. `8.45 rev//min`C. `7.14 rev//min`D. `3.14 rev//min`
Answer» Correct Answer - C ( c) From conservation of angular momentum, `I_i omega_i = I_f omega_f : (250 kg.m^2)(10.0 rev//min)` =`[250 kg.m^2 + (25.0 kg)(2.0 m)^2] omega_2` `omega_2 = 7.14 rev//min`.
