You are standing at the center of a large horizontal turntable in a carnival funhouse. The turntable is set rotating on frictionless bearings, and it rotates freely (that is, there is no motor driving the turntable). As you walk toward the edge of the turntable, what happens to the combined angular momentum of you and the turntable? What happens to the rotation speed of the turntable? Explain.

A playground merry-go-round has Moment of Inertia of 500 kg-m2 and a radius of 4.5 m. Four children, each with a mass of 40 kg are riding the merry-go-round on its outer edge. The merry-go-round with the children has an angular speed of 0.44 rad/s. If all the children move to the center at the same time, what happens to the angular speed of the merry go round? Explain.
A disk initially at rest is fixed to a vertical axis of rotation and a 40 kg child is standing on the disk initially at rest 0.5 meters away from the axis of rotation. The rotational inertia of the disk is 50 kgm2. The boy pushes and jumps off the disk and the disk begins to rotate at 0.5 rad/s. Calculate the linear velocity of the child as they push off the disk. (The rotational inertia of the boy is mr2)
A clown sits on a unicycle and rides it BACKWARDS (moving in the opposite direction he is facing). The wheel spins around its fixed rotation axis in normal fashion. In which direction does the angular momentum vector of the unicycle wheel point? Group of answer choices a) To his/her right b) To his/her left c) foward (the direction he is facing) d) backward (the direction of motion) e) In the upward direction (toward the sky)
A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.64 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular velocity of 260 rev/min (assumed constant) on its way to the catcher's mitt. What is the angular displacement of the baseball (in radians) as it travels from the pitcher to the catcher? Number Units
