Question

Which way is the momentum occuring if a child is riding a merry go round at a constant speed. So for example at each 4 "sides" of the merry go round which direction is momentum .

I know the velocity is always tangent to the circle at a specific point. does the momentum go in the same direction as the velocity. or no because the force is pointing in towards the center

Answer 1

and to go along with that. if velocity and mass are constant does that mean the change in magnitude of the momentum is 0?
