Question

You hop on the carousel horse. The attendant flips the switch and you move up and down, around and around. When the ride ends, the attendant again flips the switch. The up and down motion stops, as you continue to move in a circular motion, gradually slowing to a stop. Explain why this happens as it applies to Newton's first law of motion.

Answer 1

Answer:

due to inertia of motion of the horse it will continue to move in the same path

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's first law that motion will continue in the same direction with same inertia until and unless some external force act upon it

As per this law of inertia the state of motion will remain same until and unless some external force act upon it

So here initially the horse is moving in circular path as well as it is moving up and down

So here when switch is off the up and down motion is stopped but due to inertia of motion the motion of horse will continue in the same path forr several rounds.

So here due to inertia of motion of the horse it will continue to move in the same path.
