To have constant velocity, an object has to have both a constant speed and a constant direction.


Since the merry go round is a circle, even if its speed is constant, its direction is always changing.


A merry go round does not have a constant velocity.

it didn't save my long description of why this is right and wrong. So look up angular velocity and you will see under that axis of measurement it is a constant velocity
