Two children (m = 40 kg each) stand opposite each other on the edge of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round, which has a mass M of 200 kg and a radius of 2.0 m, is spinning at a constant rate of 12 rad/s. Treat the two children and the merry-go-round as a system. Both children walk half the distance toward the center of the merry-go-round. Calculate the final angular speed of the system.

Explanation:

Initially the two boys were sitting on the periphery , total moment of inertia

= 1/2 M  r² + 2mr²     ; M is mass of the merry go round , m is mass of each boy and r is the radius

1/2 x 200 x 2² + 2 x 40 x 2²

= 400 + 320

I₁ =  720 kg m²

Finally  the two boys were sitting at the middle  , total moment of inertia

= 1/2 M  r² + 2m( r/2)²     ; M is mass of the merry go round , m is mass of each boy and r is the radius

1/2 x 200 x 2² + 2 x 40 x 1²

= 400 + 80

I₂  = 480

Now the system will obey law of coservation of angular momentum because no torque is acting on the system.

I₁ω₁ =  I₂ω₂ ,         I₁  and ω₁  are moment of inertia and angular velocity of first case and  I₂  and ω₂ are of second case.

720 X 12 = 480 ω₂

ω₂ = 18 rad / s

c) up

hope this

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.
