You want to do a physics experiment, so you put a box at the edge of a merry-go-round, 8.0 m in diameter and 1.5 m above the ground. The operator turns on the ride. When the merry-go-round gets to 0.34 rev/s, the box goes flying off, landing on the ground. The merry-go-round has completed 8.0 turns when the box goes flying. Assume constant angular acceleration of the merry-go-round. (a) What is the total acceleration of the box, just before flying off the merry-go-round? (b) How long is the box in the air (from the moment it leaves the merry-go-round, to the moment it hits the ground)? solve using circular motion, kinematic
