Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The horse near the outer rail moves faster in m/s because it has to travel a longer distance in the same amount of time compared to the horse near the inner rail. This is because the outer horse has a larger radius of circular motion. Thus, the outer horse has a higher linear speed and moves faster in m/s.
