A Ferris wheel rotates at an angular velocity of $0.036 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$. At $t=0$ min, your friend Seth is at the very top of the ride. What is Seth's angular position at $t=3.0 \mathrm{min},$ measured counterclockwise from the top? Give your answer as an angle in degrees between $0^{\circ}$ and $360^{\circ}$.

Step 1
036 \, \text{rad/s}$ and $t = 3.0 \, \text{min} = 3 \times 60 \, \text{s} = 180 \, \text{s}$. $\Delta \theta = 0.036 \times 180 = 6.48 \, \text{rad}$. Show more…

A Ferris wheel rotates at an angular velocity of 4.4×10^(-2) rad/s. At t=0, your friend Seth is at the very top of the ride. What is Seth's angular position at t = 3.4 min measured counterclockwise from the top? Give your answer as an angle in degrees between 0° and 360°.

A ferris wheel has a trip length of 3min, that is it takes three minutes for it to make one complete revolution. What is the angular velocity of the ferris wheel if it only takes passengers around one time, in rads?
