Answer 1

Answer:

l don't know what do you say

Answer 2

Chong will move faster.

• The carousel also called the merry go round is a ride that spins about its central axis.
• The ends of the ride will have a common angular velocity but different liner velocity
• Linear velocity = Radius x Angular velocity
• Since Chong sits further away from the center than Ahmad, radius of Mosquito > Radius of butterfly.
• Hence, linear velocity of Chong > Ahmad.
