We have been doing angular motion and moments of inertia in this module but I have no idea where to start with this question. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏
A child sits on a roundabout. The roundabout is a uniform disk with of mass M and radius R and is supported by a frictionless bearing. The child is a point particle of mass M/2. Ignore air resistance.
i. Initially, the child is sitting on the rim of the roundabout, which has angular speed 𝜔1. The child crawls to radius R/2 and sits there. Show that the angular speed of the roundabout is now
𝜔2 = 8/5 𝜔2
