This problem considers additional aspects of example Calculating the Effect of Mass Distribution on a Merry-Go-Round. (a) How long does it take the father to give the merry-go-round an angular velocity of 1.50 rad/s? (b) How many revolutions must he go through to generate this velocity? (c) If he exerts a slowing force of 300 N at a radius of 1.35 m, how long would it take him to stop them?
The Earth has more rotational kinetic energy now than did the cloud of gas and dust from which it formed. Where did this energy come from? Figure 10.33 An immense cloud of rotating gas and dust contracted under the influence of gravity to form the Earth and in the process rotational kinetic energy Increased. (credit: NASA)
What is- the magnitude of the angular acceleration of a 25.0-kg disk of radius 0.800 m when a torque of magnitude 10.0 N m is applied to it? (See Section 8.5.)
CHECK and THINK Our results give us a way to think about how a person might steer a unicycle. Consider the person, the unicycle, and the Earth as the system. No net torque acts on the system. Ignoring the motion of the Earth, Figure 13.37A shows the initial angular momentum of the system with the unicycle in motion: Li=Ltire. The person leans to his left so that the angular momentum of the tire rotates downward. The total angular momentum must still point to the right (Fig. 13.37B), so the angular momentum of the person must be upward to compensate. The persons angular velocity therefore points upward (parallel to his own angular momentum), and he is able to make a turn. Another way to analyze this situation is to exclude the Earth from the system and calculate the torque done by gravity. This approach is left as a homework problem. FIGURE 13.37 C Reanalyze the unicycles motion in Example 13.15 (page 382). This time, leave the Earth out of the system and explain how the torque exerted by gravity causes the unicycle to turn. Your explanation should involve a diagram.

A rigid body is rotating counterclockwise about a fixed axis. Each of the following pairs of quantities represents an initial angular position and a final angular position of the rigid body.

This problem considers energy and work aspects of Example 10.7—use data from that example as needed. (a) Calculate the rotational kinetic energy in the merry-go-round plus child when they have an angular velocity of 20.0 rpm. (b) Using energy considerations, find the number of revolutions the father will have to push to achieve this angular velocity starting from rest. (c) Again, using energy considerations, calculate the force the father must exert to stop the merry-go- round in revolutions
Consider the 12.0 kg motorcycle wheel shown in Figure 10.38. Assume it to be approximately an annular ring with an inner radius of 0.280 m and an outer radius of 0.330 m. The motorcycle is on its center stand, so that the wheel can spin freely. (a) If the drive chain exerts a force of 2200 N at a radius of 5.00 cm, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? (b) What is the tangential acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the tire? (c) How long, starting from rest, does it take to reach an angular velocity of 80.0 rad/s?

Consider the Earth-Moon system. Construct a problem in which you calculate the total angular momentum of the system including the spins of the Earth and the Moon on their axes and the orbital angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system in its nearly monthly rotation. Calculate what happens to the Moon's orbital radius if the Earth's rotation decreases due to tidal drag. Among the things to be considered are the amount by which the Earth's rotation slows and the fact that the Moon will continue to have one side always facing the Earth.
