General Science (Easy) Physics

Suppose a boy is enjoying a ride on a marry-go-round which is moving with a constant speed of 10 m/s. It implies that the boy is:

At rest

Moving with no acceleration

In accelerated motion

Moving with uniform velocity

In accelerated motion ,

As an object moves in a merry-go-round, the speed of the object may be constant, but the direction of the object changes with the motion of the object hence its velocity will also change.
As velocity is changing, therefore the boy will be in an accelerated motion.
