Suppose a boy is enjoying a ride on a merry-go-round which is moving with a constant speed of `10 ms^(-1)`. It implies that the boy is
A
at rest
B
moving with no acceleration
C
in accelerated motion
D
moving with uniform velocity
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
3
In merry-go-round, the speed is constant but velocity is not constant, because its direction goes on changing i.e., there is acceleration in the motion . So , we can say that the boy is in accelerated motion.
