A Ferris wheel is24 meters in diameter andcompletes1 full revolution in8 minutes.
A Ferris wheel is24meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is1meter above the ground. The six o'clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes1 full revolution in8minutes. The functionh(t)gives a person's height in meters above the groundt minutes after the wheel begins to turn
A. Find the amplitude, midline, and period ofh(t).
Enter the exact answers.
Amplitude: A = ? meters
Midline h= ? meters
Period: P = ? meters
b.Assume that a person has just boarded the Ferris wheel from the platform and that the Ferris wheel starts spinning at timet=0 .Find a formula for the height functionh(t).
Hints:
- What is the value ofh(0) ?
- Is this the maximum value ofh(t) , the minimum value ofh(t), or a value between the two?
- The functionsin(t)has a value between its maximum and minimum att=0, so canh(t)be a straight sine function?
- The functioncos(t)hasits maximum att=0 , so canh(t) be a straight cosine function?
c.If the Ferris wheel continues to turn, how high off the ground is a person after26
minutes?
