• Non-uniform circular

• Random 

Answer 1

Children sitting in a rotating giant wheel have non-uniform circular motion, while those sitting in a merry-go-round have a uniform circular motion. 

Explanation: 

Children seated in a rotating large wheel experience non-uniform circular motion because the speed of the giant wheel varies as it rotates. On the other hand, if the speed of the merry-go-round remains constant during the trip, individuals seated on it experience uniform circular motion.
