The diameter of a ferris wheel is 80 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the total distance traveled in one revolution, that would be the circumference
\n" ); document.write( "\"C+=+80%2Api\"
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "C = 251.33 ft; distance a person travels in one revolution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a) if the ferris wheel make one revolution every 45 seconds, find the linear velocity of a person riding in the ferris wheel.
\n" ); document.write( "Using velocity of ft/sec
\n" ); document.write( "Velocity = dist/time
\n" ); document.write( "v = \"251.33%2F45\"
\n" ); document.write( "v = 5.585 ft/sec is the linear velocity
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b) suppose the linear velocity of a person riding in the ferris wheel is 8 feet per second. what is the time for one revolution of the ferris wheel.
\n" ); document.write( "time = dist/velocity
\n" ); document.write( "t = 251.33/8
\n" ); document.write( "t = 31.4 sec per revolution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
