Question

Suppose a boy is enjoying a ride on a merry-go-round which is moving with a constant speed of 10ms−110 ms^{-1}10ms−1. It implies that the boy is

• A. At rest
• B. Moving with no acceleration
• C. In accelerated motion
• D. Moving with uniform motion

Answer 1

The correct option is C In accelerated motion

Since the boy is going in a circle, the direction of the velocity of the boy is always changing(changing at all points during the motion ). Hence, there is some acceleration that is changing the direction of the velocity of the boy.
