#7 Three children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is a disk of mass 92 kg, radius 1.7 m, and is spinning at 17 rpm. The children have masses of 24 kg, 29.6 kg, and 33 kg. If the child who has a mass of 29.6 kg moves to the center of the merry-go-round, what is the new magnitude of angular velocity in rpm?

One method of pitching a softball is called the wind-mill delivery method, in which the pitchers arm rotates through approximately 360 in a vertical plane before the 198-gram ball is released at the lowest point of the circular motion. An experienced pitcher can throw a ball with a speed of 98.0 mi/h. Assume the angular acceleration is uniform throughout the pitching motion and take the distance between the softball and the shoulder joint to be 74.2 cm. (a) Determine the angular speed of the arm in rev/s at the instant of release, (b) Find the value of the angular acceleration in rev/s2 and the radial and tangential acceleration of the ball just before it is released, (c) Determine the force exerted on the ball by the pitchers hand (both radial and tangential components) just before it is released.
In lacrosse, a ball is thrown from a net on the end of a stick by rotating the stick and forearm about the elbow. If the angular velocity of the ball about the elbow joint is 30.0 rad/s and the ball is 1.30 m from the elbow joint, what is the velocity of the ball?
A carnival carousel accelerates nonuniformly from rest, moving through an angle of 8.60 rad in 6.00 s. If its turning at 3.30 rad/s at that time, find (a) its average angular speed, and (b) average angular acceleration during that time interval. (See Section 7.1.)
A basketball player entertains the crowd by spinning a basketball on his nose. The basketball has a mass of 0.600 kg and a radius of 0.121 m. If the basketball is spinning at a rate of 3.00 revolutions per second, (a) what is its rotational kinetic energy? (See Section 8.6.) (b) What is the magnitude of its angular momentum? Treat the ball as a thin, spherical shell. (See Section 8.7.)
An airliner lands with a speed of 50.0 m/s. Each wheel of the plane has a radius of 1.25 m and a moment of inertia of 110 kg m2. At touchdown, the wheels begin to spin under the action of friction. Each wheel supports a weight of 1.40 104 N, and the wheels attain their angular speed in 0.480 s while rolling without slipping. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the runway? Assume that the speed of the plane is constant.

(a) What is the angular speed of the new system? (b) If a third such disk is dropped on the first two, find the final angular speed of the system.

Haileys comet moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun being 0.59 AU and its greatest distance being 35 AU (1 AU is the Earth-Sun distance). If the comets speed at closest approach is 54 km/s, what is its speed when it is farthest from the Sun? You may neglect any change in the comets mass and assume that its angular momentum about the Sun is conserved.
Andrea and Chuck are riding on a merry-go-round.

Two astronauts (Fig. P8.80), each haring a mass of 75.0 kg, are connected by a 10.0-m rope of negligible mass.
