The new flyer is one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world standing at 165meters tall. The Flyer boards at the bottom of its rotation from a platform 15 meters from the ground. Each capsule takes 30 minutes to complete one full rotation.
1. Draw and label a diagram of the new flyer.
2. How many rotations does each capsule make in
1 hour? ______ 2 hours?____ t hours?_____
3. How many radians does each capsule sweep in
1 hour?_____ 2 hours?_____ t hours?_____
4. Write an equation for H, the height of a capsule in meters, as a function of t, the time in hours since the capsule boarded.
1. Given in the figure
2. 1 hour = 2 rotations
2 hours = 4 rotations
t hours = 2t rotations
3. 1 hour = 4pi radians
2 hours = 8pi radians
t hours = 4tpi radians
4. , t is in hours
