A playground merry-go-round of radius R= 1.20 m has a moment of inertia / = 255 kg-m2 and is rotating at 12.0 rev/min about a frictionless vertical axle. Facing the axle, a 24.0-kg child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down on the edge. What is the new angular speed of the merry-go-round? {convert units} O 0.647 rad/s O 1.11 rad/s 0.375 rad/s O 1.31 rad/s O 0.980 rad/s
