A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a platform of radius R which can be freely rotated about its axis. The moment of inertia of the platform is I. The system is at rest when a friend throws a ball of mass m and the kid catches it. If the velocity of the ball is v horizontally along the tangent to the edge of the platform when it was caught by the kid, find the angular speed of the  platform after the event.

Best answer

A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a platform of radius R which has a moment of inertia I. A ball of m thrown to him and horizontal velocity of the ball v when he catches it.
Therefore if we take the total bodies as a system
