A merry-go-round moves in a circle at a constant speed. Is the merry-go-round accelerating? Explain your answer.

Answer :

yes, I say yes because when a circular object rolls it begins to accelerate, but it also slows down at some point. for example, if a person pushes a barrel on a flat surface it will speed up as it goes, but it will soon slow down and stop.

But the awnser is yes
Good luck, hope this helps

Circular motion is defined as the motion or movement of an object at constant angular velocity.

For example, the merry-go-round is a type of circular motion along a fixed axis that undergoes acceleration.

Merry-go round is a type of swing in which the circular disc around a pole rotates constantly. It shows the circular motion. In this motion, the angular velocity of an object is constant, but the linear velocity is always changing.

The object in the circular motion, thus, will always be accelerating due to constant change in the linear velocity.

Therefore, the merry-go-round does exhibit circular motion along a fixed pole, but it always changes direction and is accelerating due to changes in linear motion.

Therefore, the merry-go-round undergoes acceleration.
