Aplayground merry-go-round has a radius of r and a moment of inertia of i about a vertical axis through its center. the merry-go-round is initially at rest. a child pushes the edge of the merry-go-round with force of ftan tangential to the edge for a time t seconds. for the following questions, express all solutions using the given variables. a) what is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the child’s push?

the bal will not change its velocity.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
