A girl and a boy are riding on a merry-go-round that is turning at a constant rate. The girl is near the outer edge, and the boy is closer to the center. Who has greater tangential acceleration?

Make them both to where they have the denominator of 18that makes 3/2 equal 27/18 and 1/9 equal 2/18so now you have  27/18x+5=2/18subtract 5 from the other sideso now you have 27/18x+2/18-5then subtract 2/18 from 27/18 to get 25/18x=-5then divide 25/18 by -5 and your answer will be  -5/18

They coasters are in tear-drop form because of physics. if the ride was in a complete circle, how would the coaster get into the loop, let alone get out of the loop? also, the reason why most coasters are in tear-drop form is because of acceleration. the steeper the turn, the faster the ride.

It is a physical region  hope this : )
