Suppose you get on a Ferris Wheel that has a diameter of 40 meters and turns at a rate 1.5 revolutions per minute (the period is not 1.5 ) the height above the ground in meters, of your seat after t minutes can be modeled by an equation. Assume you get on the ride at t=0 min and your seat is 1 meter of the ground at this time, sketch a picture of the function and find the period and find the equation.
2.How long after the ride starts will your seat be 31 meters above the ground?
3. Assume that the ride malfunctions and stops at 30 seconds. How high are you off the ground?
