What is the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round

Reference no: EM13340423

A park merry-go-round consists of a 220 kg circular wooden platform 4.10 m in diameter. Four children running alongside push tangentially along the platform's circumference until, starting from rest, the merry-go-round reaches a steady speed of one complete revolution every 2.8 s.

(a) If each child exerts a force of 26 N, how far does each child run?

meters

(b) What is the angular acceleration of the merry-go-round?

rad/s2

(d) What is the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round?
