Jason jumps from a plane at an altitude of 1000 m. His parachute opens after 10 seconds. The graph shows the relationship betwee
n his altitude and time. How far does he fall in 1 minute and 40 seconds? A graph is shown with Time in minutes from 0 to three minutes on the x axis and Distance in meters from 0 to 1000 meters on the y axis. A line showing the altitude and time of a jumper starts at 0 seconds, 0 m. It continues to approximately 10 seconds, 250 m; then to approximately 160 seconds, 1000 m.
the distance from the top car to the bottom car is equal to the diameter of the wheel. The diameter is 40 m, and that is twice the radius. The radius of the Ferris wheel is (40 m)/2 = 20 m.
