Question

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 32 feet and completes one revolution (or full rotation) every 5.8 minutes. At what constant angular speed does the Ferris wheel rotate at (in radians per minute)?______ radians per minute   A Ferris wheel has a radius of 30 feet and travels 6.8 feet every second. At what constant angular speed does the Ferris wheel rotate at (in radians per second)? ______radians per second   A Ferris wheel has a radius of 26 feet and travels 2 radians every 4 seconds. At what constant angular speed does the Ferris wheel rotate at (in radians per second)? ________radians per second

Answer 1

`\frac{2\pi\text{ rad}}{5.8\text{ min}}=\frac{10\pi\text{ rad}/\min}{29}=1.083307812\ldots\text{rad}/\min \approx1.1rad/\min`
