suppose a child walks from the center if a merry go round to the edge. does angular velocity remain the same
Added by Michael B.
Step 1
- System: merry-go-round (disk) plus the child. - Let L be angular momentum about the center, I be the moment of inertia, and ω be the angular velocity of the system about the center. - Initially, the child is at the center (r ≈ 0), so I_initial ≈ I_merry (the Show more…

Suppose a child walks from the outer edge of a rotating merry-go-round to the inside. Does the angular velocity of the merry-go-round increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain your answer. Assume the merry-go-round is spinning without friction.
