Question: A playground merry - go - round has a radius of 3 . 0 . m and a rotational inertia of 6 0 0 kg

A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 3.0.m and a rotational inertia of 600 kg m'. It is initially spinning at 0.80 rad/s when a 20-kg child crawls from the center to the rim. When the child reaches the rim and rotates together with the merry-go-round, the total kinetic energy of the merry-go-round and the child is:(a)150 J(b)208J(c)250 J(d)309 J(e)472 J
