Question

Suppose a boy is moving with a uniform velocity of 10 m/s on a merry-go-round ride. Which of thefollowing is true of the given scenario?a. The boy is at restb. The boy is moving with no accelerationc. The boy is moving with accelerated motiond. The boy is moving with uniform velocity

Solution

The correct answer is c. The boy is moving with accelerated motion.

Even though the boy is moving with a uniform velocity, he is still experiencing acceleration. This is because acceleration is not just a change in speed, but also a change in direction. Since the boy is moving in a circular path on the merry-go-round, his direction is constantly changing, which means he is experiencing centripetal acceleration.
