part 3 of the question is:  A power outage occurs 6 min after the ride started. Passengers must wait for their cage to be manually cranked into the lowest position in order to exit the ride. Sine function model:   where h is the height of the last passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes.  What is the height of the last passenger at the moment of the power outage? Verify your answer by evaluating the sine function model.  Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.
2. The duration of the ride is 15 min. (a) How many times does the last passenger who boarded the ride make a complete loop on the Ferris wheel? (b) What is the position of that passenger when the ride ends?
3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time. (b) Graph the function. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 t 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 -1 -5. -6 -7 -8 -9 -10-
