klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

$a=r\omega^2$

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let $r_1$ is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and $r_2$ is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :
