Tommy sits on a merry-go-round. While the merry-go-round is spinning, Tommy can sit in the center without holding on, but as he moves towards the outside he must hold on so he will not fly off. Explain why he feels like he will fly off? Show all your work, including formulas and units.

A passenger sits in a seat of a spinning merry-go-round. The person is 15 meters from the merry-go-round’s center going at a speed of 5 m/s. What is the passenger’s centripetal acceleration?
A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The angular speed of the system increases. The moment of inertia of the system remains constant. The angular speed of the system decreases. The moment of inertia of the system increases. The moment of inertia of the system decreases. The angular speed of the system remains constant.
Twins Bob and Sam are on a large merry-go round which is coated with ice making it frictionless. Bob and Sam each have a mass of 47.6 kg respectively. The merry-go round spins at a constant rate of revolution. Bob sits 2.00 m from the center and has to hold on to a metal post with a horizontal force of 80.0 N to stay on the merry-go round. If Sam is sitting 4.00 m from the center, with what force...
A merry-go-round is spinning around a frictionless axle at its center with a person standing at the edge. The person then begins to walk toward the center. Will the merry-go-round spin faster or slower as a result? Explain your answer.

Suppose you are standing on the center of a merry-go-roundthat is at rest. You are holding a spinning bicycle wheel over yourhead so that its rotation axis is pointing upward. The wheel isrotating counterclockwise when observed from above. For this problem, neglect any air resistance or frictionbetween the merry-go-round and its foundation. Q. Suppose you now grab the edge of thewheel with your hand, stopping it from spinning. What happens to themerry-go-round? It remainsat rest. It begins torotate counterclockwise (as...
A merry-go-round rotates at the rate of 0.15 rev/s with an 85-kg man standing at a point 2.0 m from the axis of rotation. (a) What is the new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0.9 m from the center? Assume that the merry-go-round is a solid 25-kg cylinder of radius 2.0 m. (b) Calculate the change in kinetic energy due to this movement. J How do you account for this change in kinetic energy? -Work is...
A 50.0 kg child is on a 200.0 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 1.50 m. The child starts at 0.5 m from the center and moves to the edge. The child's parent accelerates the merry-go-round from rest at 0.75Td to a speed of 1.5 Fad How long did the parent push the merry-go-round? How much force is required to hold the child when at 0.5 m from the center? (This centripetal force could be from friction, holding on, or...
