A Ferris wheel has a radius of 42.4 feet. The bottom of the Ferris wheel sits 0.8 feet above
the ground. You board the Ferris wheel at the 6 o'clock position and rotate counter-
clockwise.
a. Define a function, f that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the
angle of rotation (measured in radians) you have swept out from the 6 o'clock
position, a
f(a)-42.4sin(a)+43.2
Preview
b. Define a function, g, that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the
number of feet you have rotated counter-clockwise from the 6 o'clock position, s.
g(s)=43.2+42.2sin(s/42.4)

A youth of mass m = 22 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the upper bar of the swing set to the seat is L = 4.2 m. The child is attempting to swing all the way around in a full circle.
a. At what minimum speed, in meters per second, must the child be moving at the top of the circular path in order to make a full circle?
b. Assuming the child is traveling at the speed found in part a, what is their apparent weight, Wa in newtons, at the top of their path (At the top, the child is upside down)
c. If the velocity at the bottom is the same as the velocity at the top from part a, what is the child's apparent weight, in newtons, at the very bottom of the path?
Researchers studying the Great Pacific Garbage Patch release custom floating sensor packages to track the motion of microplastics around the Hawaiian Islands. Assume that each sensor tracks a circular path at a constant
speed. Be mindful of the measurement units.
A sensor deployed in the North Pacific takes a period of 45.0 days to complete one circular round trip, moving with a constant speed of 1.10m/s.
a) Solve for the radius of the circular path that the North Pacific sensor tracks.
b) Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration.
Another sensor deployed in the South Pacific measures a constant speed of 1.30 m/s, and a constant acceleration of 2.30x10-6 m/s².
c) Solve for the radius of the circular path that the South Pacific sensor tracks.
d) Solve for the period (time to go in a circle) in days.
