A merry-go-round, having a radius of 2.5 m, is set in motion starting from rest, by students applying a force of 500 N tangential to the rim of the wheel. After five seconds of torque, the students let go and measure the rotational speed: 1.25 rad/s. The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round is

A. 5.0 × 103 kg m2. B. 1.7 × 103 kg m2. C. 1.0 × 104 kg m2. D. 2.5 × 103 kg m2. E. 7.5 × 102 kg m2.

A very dense 1500-kg point mass (A) and a dense 1200-kg point mass (B) are held in place 1.00 m apart on a frictionless table

A third point mass is placed between the other two at a point that is 20.0 cm from B along the line connecting A and B. When the third mass is suddenly released, find the magnitude and direction (toward A or toward B) of its initial acceleration. (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ? m2/kg2)
