Two children, each of mass 20.0 kg, ride on the perimeter of a small merry-go-round that is rotating at the rate of 1.0 revolution every 4.0 s. The merry-go-round is a disk of mass 30. kg and radius 3.0 m
The children now both move halfway in toward the center to positions 1.5 m from the axis of rotation. Calculate the kinetic energy before and after, and the final rate of rotation. Explain any changes in energy.
