The question that you can ask yourself while reading in order to help you identify the main ideas is, what is the most important point the author wants me to understand. The correct answer would be option C. The main idea is considered as the most significant idea in a story or a paragraph. This sums up all of the other ideas that are being included in the story.
Answer:
a. see attached
b. H(t) = 12 -10cos(πt/10)
c. H(16) ≈ 8.91 m
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>a.</h3>
The cosine function has its extreme (positive) value when its argument is 0, so we like to use that function for circular motion problems that have an extreme value at t=0. The midline of the function needs to be adjusted upward from 0 to a value that is 2 m more than the 10 m radius. The amplitude of the function will be the 10 m radius. The period of the function is 20 seconds, so the cosine function will be scaled so that one full period is completed at t=20. That is, the argument of the cosine will be 2π(t/20) = πt/10.
The function describing the height will be ...
H(t) = 12 -10cos(πt/10)
The graph of it is attached.

<h3>c.</h3>
The wheel will reach the top of its travel after 1/2 of its period, or t=10. Then 6 seconds later is t=16.
H(16) = 12 -10cos(π(16/10) = 12 -10cos(1.6π) ≈ 12 -10(0.309017) ≈ 8.90983
The height of the rider 6 seconds after passing the top will be about 8.91 m.
