Four children are sitting on a merry-go-round at different distances from the center (axis of rotation) indicated as A, B, C, and D locations with A being the closest to the center. Choose all the correct statements from the list below. A. All children have a centripetal acceleration pointing towards the center. B. Child A is moving the fastest. C. All children have the same period, T. D. Child D is moving the fastest tangentially since he/she is the farthest from the center. E. For every rotation, the distance traveled by a child is 2πR, where R is the distance from the center. F. All children have the same angular speed regardless of their distance from the center. G. All children have a different angular velocity based on their distance from the center.
