Distance from centre of carousel

A person is shown spinning around on a playground ‘carousel’ before getting off and walking away. The task is to graph the distance of the person from the centre of the carousel against time. Whilst the person is spinning on the carousel the resulting graph shows that distance is constant. This story can be used as a complement to the activity ‘Distance from the camera’ which shows the same video but looks at the distance from the camera.
