Question

The table of values shows the height of a car of a Ferris wheel as it travels in a circular motion. (multiple answers)

Answer 1

According to the given table, the following statements are true.

Statement 1 is true : The car makes a complete revolution in 12 s.

Statement 2 is true: The radius of the Ferris wheel is 25 yards.

The maximum height is 55 yards and the minimum height is 5 yards. So, the radius will be : $\frac{55-5}{2}=\frac{50}{2}=25$ yards.

Answer 2

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum height of wheel=55 yards

Minimum height of wheel=5 yards

Diameter of wheel=Maximum height-minimum height

Diameter of wheel=55-5=50 yards

Radius of wheel=$\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{50}{2}=25 yards$

Maximum height of wheel at t=3 s

Again, maximum height of wheel at t=15 s

The car makes complete revolution in 15-3=12 s

Hence, option A and B are true.

Option D is false because at t=0 s the people are not locates at lowest height of Ferris wheel.
