Question

Four children are playing in a field. The children form a line, holding hands. The player at the front of the line starts to spin around faster and faster, causing the others to run in circle, as shown in the figure.(Figure 1) Now consider the children's linear accelerations. Which of the following statements are correct? Click all that apply.

The last child in the line has the greatest tangential acceleration. The last child in the line has the greatest radial acceleration. All the children have the same tangential acceleration. All the children have the same radial acceleration.

Explanation / Answer

Answers:

The flowing two are the correct statements:

The last child in the line has the greatest tangential acceleration.

The last child in the line has the greatest radial acceleration.

Explanation:

Here, the four children form a straight line. If the front player of the line starts to rotate faster and faster, then the last children in the line experiences high tangential and high radial acceleration than the all.
