A child of mass 32.0 kg runs at a speed of 1.60 m/s along a path that is tangent to the rim of the initially stationary merry-go-round and then jumps on. Neglect friction between the bearings and the shaft of the merry-go-round. Calculate (a) the rotational inertia of the merry-go- round about its axis of rotation, (b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the running child about the axis of rotation of the merry-go-round, and (c) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and child after the child has jumped on. (a) Number 2540 Units kg-m^2 (b) Number 2.20E2 Units kg-m^2/s (c) Number 0.0868 Units rad/s
