Is a merry go round accelerating if it has a constant speed?

Yes, a merry-go-round is accelerating even if it has a constant speed because acceleration includes changes in direction as well as changes in speed. In this case, the merry-go-round is constantly changing direction as it spins around the central axis, so it is undergoing acceleration.


Why does the acceleration of a merry go round change even though the speed stays the same?

The acceleration of a merry-go-round changes because acceleration measures a change in velocity, not just speed. In the case of the merry-go-round, even though the speed may stay constant, the direction of the velocity is constantly changing as the object moves in a circular path, resulting in acceleration due to the change in direction.


Why is a person running around a circular track at a constant speed accelerating?

Even though the person is moving at a constant speed, they are changing direction constantly as they go around the track. Since acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, and velocity includes both speed and direction, the person running on a circular track is experiencing acceleration.


Is it true that A person on a merry go round is constantly accelerating away from the center?

true:apex


Why can you hear two people talking even after they walk around a corner?

Diffraction allows sound waves to go around barriersYou can still hear people talking even though they go around the corner because the level of their voices are still in range of your range. This is because of refraction and reflection.
