Find the equation for the height of a car h as a function of time t ,minutes and also draw the graph.
Answer to Problem 36PPS
The equation of the car is
Explanation of Solution
Given: It is given in the question that a ferris wheel has a diameter of approximately
Concept Used:
In this, use the concept of the general equation for cosine
Calculation: Let the equation be
Here, the vertical shift is
Since, the amplitude is same as the diameter of the wheel because amplitude is also means the full distance, so
Since the period is
Now, put all the values in the equation,
The graph of the function is :
Conclusion:
The equation is
