Question

A Ferris wheel completes 4 revolutions in 10 minutes. The radius of the Ferris wheel is 40 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.0in/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

$Circumference = 2\pi r\\\\2 \pi \times 40 ft = 80\pi ft = 253.3274123 ft\\\\= 253.3274123 ft \times 12 \: \frac{inches }{feet} \\\\ = 3015.928947 in\\\\\\10 min = 10 min \times 60 \: sec / min = 600 sec\\\\4 \: revolutions / 10 min = 4 \times 3015.928947\: in / 600 sec \\\\ = 5.0 in/sec$
