In a playground,there is a merry-go-round of mass $120\ kg$ and radius $4\ m$. The radius of gyration is $3\ m$. $A$ child of mass $30\ kg$ runs at a speed of $5\ m/s$ tangent to the rim of the merry-go-round when it is at rest and then jumps on it. Neglecting friction,find the angular velocity of the merry-go-round and child in $rad/s$.

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.1$
  • C
    $0.4$
  • D

$A$ thin and circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its geometrical axis with an angular velocity $\omega$. If another disc of same dimensions but of mass $M/4$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially,then the new angular velocity of the system is:

$A$ circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating about its axis with angular speed $\omega_{1}$. If another stationary disc having radius $\frac{R}{2}$ and same mass $M$ is dropped co-axially onto the rotating disc,gradually both discs attain a constant angular speed $\omega_{2}$. The energy lost in the process is $p \%$ of the initial energy. The value of $p$ is:

$A$ rigid body of mass $2 \ kg$ is moving in a circular path of radius $0.8 \ m$ with an angular velocity of $44 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. If the radius of the circular path becomes $1 \ m$,the new angular velocity of the body will be ........ $rad \ s^{-1}$.

$A$ small bead of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ gets threaded on a stationary semicircular ring of mass $m$ and radius $R$ kept on a horizontal table. The ring can freely rotate about its centre. The bead comes to rest relative to the ring. What will be the final angular velocity of the system?

$Assertion$ : There are very small sporadic changes in the speed of rotation of the earth.
$Reason$ : Shifting of large air masses in the earth's atmosphere produces a change in the moment of inertia of the earth, causing its speed of rotation to change.
