The merry-go-round is a uniform disk with a mass of 100 kg


A kid runs towards the edge of a merry-go-round that is not rotating and jumps on. The merry-go-round then rotates with a constant angular velocity ω. Assume that the kid has a mass of 40 kg and is initially running at a speed of 2 m/s tangent to the edge of the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round is a uniform disk with a mass of 100 kg and a radius of 2 m. Assume that it rotates without friction. What is the final angular velocity ωf (in radians/s) of the merry-go-round (with the kid riding)?
