Amerry-go-round can be modeled as a solid disk of radius r and mass m. initially, it is rotating on a sturdy frictionless axle with angular velocity ω0 . a rock of mass m is dropped vertically onto the merry-go-round and it sticks to the surface at a radius r from the center. what is the final angular velocity ω of the merry-goround + rock system?

w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved using the concepts of conservation of angular momentum

          L = I w

Let's write in angular momentum in two points

Initial. Before impact

        L₀ = I w₀

Final. After the rock has stuck

        = I w + (m r²) w

The system is formed by the disk and the rock, so that the forces and moments during the crash are internal and the angular momentum is preserved

        L₀ =  

        I w₀ = (I + m r²) w

       w = w₀ I / (I + m r²)

The roundabout is a disk so its moment of inertia is

         I = ½ M r²

        w = w₀ ½ Mr² / (½ M r² + mr²)

        w = w₀ ½ M / (½ M + m)

        w = w₀ ½ M2 / (M + 2m)

        w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)
