Suppose a boy is enjoying a ride on a merry-go-round

• GP Motion Force

Suppose a boy is enjoying a ride on a merry-go-round which is moving with a constant speed of 10 m s^–1. It implies that the boy is

1. at rest
2. moving with no acceleration
3. in accelerated motion
4. moving with uniform velocity

Answer

In merry-go-round, the speed is constant but velocity is not constant, because its direction keeps on changing. So, there is acceleration in the motion.

Therefore, the boy is in accelerated motion.

The correct option is C.
