Bob and Lily are riding on a merry-go-round. Bob rides on a horse near the outer edge of the circular platform, and Lily rides on a horse near the center of the circular platform. When the merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed, Bob's angular speed is:_____.
a. the same as Lily's.
b. larger than Lily's.
c. exactly half as much as Lily's.
d. exactly twice as much as Lily's.
e. smaller than Lily's.

Answer :

Answer: the same as Lily's

Explanation:

Angular velocity has to do with the speed at which an object will be able to rotate. We are informed that Bob and Lily are riding on a merry-go-round.

Since we are further told that Bob rides on a horse near the outer edge of the circular platform, and Lily rides on a horse near the center of the circular platform and that he merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed.

Based on the above analysis, Bob's angular speed will be thesame as that of Lily.
