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.
What else can I help you with?
Does a merry-go-round move at a constant speed?
Yes, a merry-go-round typically moves at a constant speed as long as the motor powering it maintains a consistent rotation rate.
A person on a merry go round is constantly accelerating toward the center true or false?
False. A person on a merry-go-round is not constantly accelerating towards the center. The person is experiencing centripetal acceleration, which is directed towards the center of the merry-go-round, but it is not a continuous increase in speed or velocity.
A child riding a merry-go-round is accelerating because the child?
is experiencing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the merry-go-round due to the circular motion. This acceleration constantly changes the direction of the child's velocity, even though the speed may remain constant, resulting in acceleration.
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
No, you are not accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with a constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if your velocity remains constant, there is no acceleration.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
Does a merry-go-round move at a constant speed?
Yes, a merry-go-round typically moves at a constant speed as long as the motor powering it maintains a consistent rotation rate.
A person on a merry go round is constantly accelerating toward the center true or false?
False. A person on a merry-go-round is not constantly accelerating towards the center. The person is experiencing centripetal acceleration, which is directed towards the center of the merry-go-round, but it is not a continuous increase in speed or velocity.
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).
A child riding a merry-go-round is accelerating because the child?
is experiencing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the merry-go-round due to the circular motion. This acceleration constantly changes the direction of the child's velocity, even though the speed may remain constant, resulting in acceleration.
A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?
A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
No, you are not accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with a constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if your velocity remains constant, there is no acceleration.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
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 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.
What is the formula for computing acceleration if we are given constant speed and time?
If you have a constant speed, you are not accelerating.
If a car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerateing and to stay at a constant speed?
its not, if ur accelerating ur not staying at a constant speed.
