Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Tom is on half way between the center and the outer rim

Mary is on the extreme outer rim

Suppose \omega is the angular velocity of ride with radius of outer rim be R

\alpha =angular acceleration of Ride

At any instant both Tom and Mary experience the same angular speed

(b)Linear velocity at any instant

v_{Tom}=\omega \times R

v_{Mary}=\omeag \times \frac{R}{2}

Thus Tom has higher linear speed

(c) For radial Acceleration

a_r=\omega ^2\times r

a_{Tom}=\omega ^2\times R

a_{Mary}=\omega ^2\times \frac{R}{2}

Tom has higher radial Acceleration as it is directly Proportional of radius
