Answer:

  • <u> From your frame of reference, the speed of your friend is zero.</u>

Explanation:

The<em> speed</em> from a <em>frame of reference</em> is the magnitude of the change of the position per unit of time in that frame of reference.

When it is said that, to a <em>stationary observer</em> you have a <em>speed of 9m/s</em>, it means that the observer "measures"  tha your position, in a moment, changes 9 m per second.

Since both you and your friend are sit still on the same spinning merry-go-round, neither of you will change positions with respect to the other, meaning that you will perceive that your friend will not move, from your frame of reference. That is, if you are isolated from the rest of the universe, and the merry-go-round continues spining uniformly, you cannot detect any movement of your friend, which means that from your frame of reference, the speed of your friend is zero.

What is friction and explain
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.
