Question
if you are riding on a ferris wheel that is 60 ft tall and it takes you 5 minutes to make 1 revolution, what is your linear velocity?
Answers
So the radius = 30 ft
circumference = 60π ft
So linear velocity = 60π ft / 5 min
= 12π ft/min
circumference = 60π ft
So linear velocity = 60π ft / 5 min
= 12π ft/min
