Question

11. You sit at the outer rim of a Ferris wheel that rotates 2 revolutions per minute (RPM). What would your rotational speed be if you were instead clinging to a position halfway from the center to the outer rim?

Answer 1

If you are instead clinging to a position halfway from the center to the outer rim of the Ferris wheel, YOUR ROTATIONAL SPEED WILL STILL BE 2 REVOLUTION PER MINUTE.
This is because, every part of the wheel is moving with the same speed, so it does not matter where you sit on the wheel, the rotation per minute will still be the same. It is just like travelling inside a motor car, it does not matter whether you are sitting in the front passenger seat or at the back, the speed of the car remains the same.
