Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangential speeds?

Both riders rotate with the carousel, so they take the same time to complete one revolution. Juan is closer to the center, so his circular path has a smaller circumference and he travels a shorter distance in that time. Since speed is distance divided by time, Juan has the lower tangential speed; choice A describes this.
