Question

Victor Vector and Fluffy were riding on a merry-go-round as shown in the overhead view at right. When they were at the indicated position, what was the direction of the force pulling on them?A) due north B) due west C) due cast D) northeast When Victor and Fluffy were at the indicated position, what was the direction of their acceleration? A) due north B) due west C) due east D) northeast Victor let Fluffy go at the position shown in the diagram. In what direction did Fluffy fly off? A) due north B) due west C) due east D) northeast After letting Fluffy go, Victor got up and started walking t ward the center of the merry-go-round. How did his angular speed (revolutions per second) change?. A) it became larger . B) it remained the same . C) it became smaller .

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

at this point , the centripetal force pulls them towards the centre of the circle

therefore ,

Force is acting towards C) East

2)

here , acceleration is in the direction of force

it is in C) due east

3)

Here , fluffy will fly off in the tangential direction ,

therefore , he will fly off in North direction

A)Due North

4)

Here , when victor start walking towards centre,

his moment of interia decreases,

Hence , Due to conservation of angular momentum ,

His angular speed become larger(Option A)
