Does a child on a merry-go-round revolve or rotate around the merry-go-round axis?
A merry-go-round rotates because it spins on an internal axis. But the child on the merry-go-round revolves about the axis
A person on a merry-go-round is constantly changing direction true or false?
True. A person on a merry-go-round is constantly changing direction as the ride rotates. The merry-go-round's circular motion causes the person to experience a continuous change in the direction they are facing. As the ride spins, the centripetal force acts on the person, pulling them towards the center of the circular path, leading to a constant change in their orientation.
Why is circular motion with constant speed called accelerated motion?
Acceleration is defined as change in velocity. Velocity is speed and direction. So when you're going round in a circle (circular motion), you're changing direction constantly, therefore changing velocity and therefore accelerating.
A child riding a merry-go-round is accelerating because the child?
That's a true statement ... but not in the way you think. "Accelerating" is NOT necessarily the same thing as "speeding up".
What is meant by centripetal acceleration is perpendicular to velocity?
As an object goes round in a circular path, then its velocity will along the tangent at that instant. But centripetal acceleration is normal to that tangent and so along the radius of curvature. As acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity, the direction aspect is ever changing and so the object goes round the circular path.
A merry-go-round horse moves at a constant speed but at a changing?
. . . velocity, because one of the components of velocityis the direction of the speed.
How can you accelerate if your speed does not change?
A change in the vector or direction that you are traveling is considered an acceleration; even if you don't change speed. This would be the case for going around in a merry-go-round, e.g. You are accelerating (changing direction), but the speed is constant (velocity is changing).
Why do you always accelerate when you ride in a merry go round even though the speed of the merry go round does not change?
A person on a merry-go-round is constantly accelerating away from the center, because he is prevented by the horse or bench from continuing on a straight path. His velocity constantly changes in direction.
A rotating merry go round has a radius of 30 feet If it completes one revolution in 20 seconds find the velocity of the outer edge?
A rotating merry go round has a radius of 30 feet. If it completes one revolution in 20 seconds, find the velocity of the outer edge.
What is another name for carousel?
merry-go-round
What is an example of constant speed with changing velocity?
Velocity is a vector, thus it has a direction. Therefore, you can change the velocity by changing direction. A great example of this is a ball on a string spinning at a constant speed, but it is continually changing direction, therefore, even though the speed is constant the velocity changes at every instant.
What part of speech is merry go round?
"Merry-go-round" is a noun phrase. It is typically used to refer to a type of amusement ride with seats that go up and down in a circular motion.
Who sings the song that goes Merry go round and round Merry go round and round?
Motley crue
Is constant speed current velocity?
No, it is not. Basically speed is a scalar whereas velocity is a vector.A car going round a circular track at constant speed has a velocity which is changing at every moment.
A person on a merry-go-round is constantly changing direction true or false?

Raul is standing on a merry-go-round that is spinning at a steady rate what would increase the centrifugal force acting on him?
walking towards the center of the merry-go-round
