The initial angular speed can be calculated by using the relation of angular speed with the time. Then the speed on the rim can be calculated by the relation of speed with the radius and the angular speed.
The angular acceleration can be calculated by using expression for angular acceleration, and then find the number of revolutions (angular displacement) made by merry-go-round before it stops by using kinematic equation.
The relation between angular speed and time period T is given as follows:
The relation between the speed and the angular speed is,
Here, v is the speed, r is the radius, and is the initial angular speed.
The angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular speed, and mathematically it can be expressed as follows:
Here, is the angular acceleration, is the final angular speed, is the initial angular speed, and t is the time.
According to kinematic equations, the relation between angular displacement, time, initial angular speed and angular acceleration is,
Here, is the displacement, is the angular acceleration, is the initial angular speed, and t is the time.
(a)
The initial angular speed is,
Substitute 4.0 s for T.
The speed of child on the rim is,
Substitute for r and for .
The speed of the child on the rim is 3.93 m/s.
(b)
The angular acceleration is,
Substitute 20 s for t, 0 rad/s for , and 1.57 rad/s for .
The angular acceleration is .
The distance travelled by the merry-go-round is,
Substitute 20 s for t, for , and 1.57 rad/s for .
Convert radian to revolutions.
The number of the revolution is 2.5 rev.

28. II A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round with a moment of inertia of 400 kg m2, is freely rotating with an angu- lar velocity of 2.0 rad/s. Ryan, whose mass is 80 kg, runs on the ground around the outer edge of the merry-go-round in the opposite direction to its rotation. Still moving, he jumps directly onto the rim of the merry-go-round, bringing it (and himself) to a halt. How fast was Ryan running when he jumped on? A. 2.0 m/s...
