A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3.0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the merry-go-round along a path tangent to the rim of the at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Determine the angular velocity of the system after the boy hops on the merry-go-round.

An asteroid is discovered in a nearly circular orbit around the sun, with an orbital radius that is 2.47 times earth's. what is the asteroid's orbital period, its "year," in terms of earth years?

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
