Question

Two children are playing on the merry go round at a park. One child is standing on the edge of the merry go round and the other is standing closer to the middle. How will the angular velocities id each child compare when the merry go round begins to rotate? (will they be the same or will one be higher than the other?) How will the tangential velocities of each child compare? (Will they be the same or will one be higher than the other?)

Answer 1

Given:

Two children are playing on the merry-go-round at a park. One child is standing on the edge of the merry-go-round and the other is standing closer to the middle.

To find:

to compare the angular and the tangential speed of the children
