A boy with a mass of 140 kg and a girl with a mass of 120 kg are on a merry go round. Th merry go round has a radius of 5 meters and its moment of inertia is 986 kg m 2. Beginning from rest the merry go round accelerates with an angular acceleration of 0.040 rad/s2 for 30 seconds then has a constant angular speed. 1. How many revolutions do the kids make before the constant operational speed is reached ?

2. What's the angular speed and magnitude of the tangential of the kids if they are standing at a distance of 1.5m and 2.4 m from the center of the ride.

3. During the ride the kids switch places what is the angular speed and magnitude of the tangential velocities ?
