    Circular Motion Problem: Details and Assumptions

    Uploaded by

    Gerry Lou Quiles
    A dog hops on a stationary merry-go-round at a carnival and walks around its edge at a constant speed, eventually returning to his starting point next to a purple horse. The merry-go-round can be modeled as a uniform disk that rotates due to the conservation of angular momentum from the dog's movement around its edge. The question asks to determine the angle of rotation of the merry-go-round during the time it takes the dog to return to his starting point.

    Circular Motion Problem One day after hours at a carnival a dog finds the merry-go-round.

    The merry-goround is still, and the dog hops on the merry-go-round and comes face to face with a purple ride-on horse. He then walks around the edge of the merry-go-round at a constant speed to see what else is there. Eventually after some time t he winds up back at the purple horse. By what angle in degrees has the merry-go-round rotated during that time?

    Details and assumptions


    The mass of the dog is 20 kg. The mass of the merry-go-round is 500 kg. The merry-go-round can be modeled as a uniform disk of radius 8 m. You may neglect friction.
