Question

11. A Ferris wheel sitting on the ground is 20 meters in diameter and makes one revolution every 5 minutes. If you start in the 9 o'clock position at t = 0 and the wheel is rotating clockwise, a. Sketch the graph of the function with the horizontal axis as time and the vertical the height on the wheel. Label both axes. b. What's the period of the function? What's the max, min and midline? c. Write a formula for your height above the ground at time t.
