EXAMPLE 3 Graph a model for circular motion Ferris Wheel Suppose you are riding a Ferris wheel that turns for 180 seconds. Your height h (in feet) above the ground at any time t (in seconds) can be modeled by the equation π 20 h = 85 sin (t – 10) a. Graph your height above the ground as a function of time. b. What are your maximum and minimum heights?
EXAMPLE 3 Graph a model for circular motion SOLUTION The amplitude is 85 and the period is = 40. The wheel turns = 4.5 times in 180 seconds, so the graph below shows 4.5 cycles. The five key points are (10, 90), (20, 175), (30, 90), (40, 5), and (50, 90). a. π 20 2 π2 π
