Answer:
The girl has greater tangential acceleration
Explanation:
The angular acceleration (
) of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, 
:
Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.
The tangential acceleration instead is given by
where
is the angular acceleration
r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round
Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.
You can't. Velocity and acceleration measure two different things, so their units are incompatible. It's like asking, "How many meters does this book weigh?"
Maybe you mean "find" acceleration using given velocities, or a velocity function?
Answer:
trigonometry (guessing)
Explanation:
ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval
periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth
parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars
1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years
