A ferris wheel has 15 seat buckets . What is the angle measurement between each bucket?
1 answer:
Answer:
24 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
A Ferris wheel is in the shape of a circle. Having 15 seat buckets means that the circle will be divided into 15 sections. Keep in mind that we are assuming that the seat buckets are equally spaced.
We know that:
Degrees in one circle: 360 degree
Dividing in 15 sections:
So the angle of measurement between the seat buckets is 24 degrees ..

Answer:
- 40 ft
- t = 1 second
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator answers these questions easily.
The ball achieves a maximum height of 40 ft, 1 second after it is thrown.

The equation is usefully put into vertex form, as the vertex is the answer to the questions asked.
h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t) +24
h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t +1) +24 +16 . . . . . . complete the square
h(t) = -16(t -1)^2 +40 . . . . . . . . . vertex form
Compare this to the vertex form:
f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . vertex (h, k); vertical stretch factor 'a'
We see the vertex of our height equation is ...
(h, k) = (1, 40)
The ball reaches a maximum height of 40 feet at t = 1 second after it is thrown.
