If you pull yourself to the center of the merry-go-round,  the rotation of the merry go round will decrease.

What is the centripetal acceleration of a merry go round?

This is the radial acceleration experienced by a person moving in a circular path as the merry-go-round rotates about its mean position.

a = v²/r

where;

  • v is the linear speed of the merry go round
  • r is the radius of the merry go round
  • a is the centripetal acceleration of the merry go round

From the formula given above, as the radius of the merry go round increases, the centripetal acceleration of the merry go round decreases.

v = ωr

where;

  • v is the tangential speed or linear speed of the merry go round
  • r is the radius of the circular path from the edge

Thus, when the radius of the circular path decreases, the speed of the merry go round will decrease as well.
