Question: ( 4 9 . 1 ) A merry - go - round starts at rest. From t = 0 s to t = 1 2

(49.1) A merry-go-round starts at rest. From t=0s to t=12s it accelerates at a constant rate =48rads2. From t=12s to t=132s the merry-go-round rotates at constant angular speed. After t=132s the merry-go-round slows uniformly and comes to a halt at t=150s.
(a) Consider the first regime (from t=012s).
(i) Determine the angular speed of the merry-go-round at the end of this regime.
(ii) Determine the angle that the merry-go-round travelled during this regime in radians and in revolutions.
(b) Consider the second regime (from t=12132s). Determine the angle that the merry-go-round travelled during this regime in radians and in revolutions.
(c) Consider the third regime (from t=132150s).
(i) Determine the [average] angular acceleration of the merry-go-round during this regime.
(ii) Determine the angle that the merry-go-round travelled during this regime in radians and in revolutions.
(d)(i) Determine the total angular displacement of the merry-go-round throughout the entire two minute and thirty second ride in radians and in revolutions.
(ii) Determine the average angular speed of the merry-go-round during the entire ride in radians per second and revolutions per minute.
