Angular Rate of Change In a free-fall experiment, an abject is dropped from a height of 256 feet. A camera on the ground 500 feet from the point of impact records the fall of the object (see figure).
(a) Find the position function that yields the height of the object at time t, assuming the object is released at time
(b) Find the rates of change of the angle of elevation of the camera when

- Velocity of a Ferris Wheel Use Figure 7 as a model of the Ferris wheel called Colossus that is built in St. Louis in 1986. The diameter of the wheel is 165 feet. A brochure that gives some statistics associated with Colossus indicates that it rotates at 1.5 revolutions per minute and also indicates that a rider on the wheel is traveling at 10 miles per hour. Explain why these two numbers, 1.5 revolutions per minute and 10 miles per hour, cannot both be correct.arrow_forwardVelocity at the Equator Assuming the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles, use the information from Problem 43 to find the linear velocity of a person standing on the equator.arrow_forward
