(1 point) The graph describes your height, in meters, after t minutes have elapsed during a ride on a ferris wheel. You boarded the ferris wheel prior to timet 0. (a) How long does it take the ferris wheel to complete one full rotation? Include units in your answer. (b) What is the diameter of the ferris wheel? 40 m Include ynit§ in your answer. 20 (c) What is your height at time t = 0? 20 m Include units in your answer. (d) What is the height of the loading platform? Include ynits in your answer. 0 m 18 (e) What length of time does the graph show you riding the wheel?

Solution

a) In graph, 18 min is 3/4^th rotation time. So (¾)T = 18

Time for one full rotation = Period = T = 24 min

b) Diameter of ferris wheel =====> D = 40 m

c) Height at time t = 0 =====> h = 20 m

d) Height of the loading platform ======> h = 0 m

e) ­­The graph shows 2 complete rotations, so the length of time = 2*24 = 48 min
