Two children are spinning on a miracle round. What is 50 cm from the center and the other is 100 cm from the center. Which child has the larger linear speed?

The one that is 100 cm from the center.

Explanation:

Given that merry-go-round means moving at uniform circular motion or constant angular speed. Hence the person who is closer to the center is moving at a slower speed, while the one far away from the center has a larger linear speed because he has moved a long distance in the same amount of time, despite being on these objects.

To illustrate

A with the 50 cm

B with the 100 cm

Hence, to get speed, we have

A = 2 * pi * 50 / T

B = 2 * pi * 100 / T

And by the explanation of angular speed

We have w = 2*pi/T where w is the angular speed in radians/s

Hence we have

A = 50w

B = 100w

Therefore, the one that is 100 cm from the center has a larger linear speed.
