Answer a series of questions about each of the following four scenarios.
1. The height of a seat on a Ferris wheel varies sinusoidally with time (𝑡𝑡) in seconds. The
wheel has a radius of 9 𝑚𝑚, and it rotates once every 60 seconds. Passengers get on at
the boarding platform, which is 1.4 𝑚𝑚 above the ground.
