Version B
We have worked with Ferris Wheels above
ground, but what if a portion of it went
underground and traveled in a clockwise
direction?

Details;
The Ferris Wheel has a diameter of 80
ft
The Ferris Wheel center is 20 feet
below the ground
The Ferris Wheel rotates in a clockwise
direction
The rider enters on ground level on
the right side of the wheel.
It takes 1 minute for 1 ½ rotations.

Your task:
Sketch a diagram that showcases this
scenario with labels and
measurements.
Determine the angular speed.
Develop an equation for the height of
the rider while on the ride.
Construct a graph (height vs. time).
Make sure both axes are labeled with
all landmark points.
Provide a statement, explaining the
relationship between your graph and
the rider's position on the wheel.
When will they be above ground and
below?
Calculate the rider's total distance
traveled from the moment they get on
at ground level on the right to the
other point on ground level on the left
where they get off.
