jack goes for a ride on a ferris wherl thst has a radius of 51 yards. the center of the ferris sherl is 61 yards above the ground. he starts bis rifr at the 9 oclock position and travels counter clockwise. define a function g that tepresents jacks verticL distance above the grihdn in yards in terms of the angel ( meassured in radians) jack has swept out measured grom the 9 oclock positions

Answer 1

112 yards

Explanation:

The center of the Ferris wheel is 61 yards above the ground and the radius is 51 yards. When Jack is at the 9 o'clock position, he is at a distance of 112 yards from the center of the Ferris wheel (51 yards from the center plus 61 yards above the ground). Let θ be the angle that Jack has swept out measured from the 9 o'clock position, in radians.

The function g that represents Jack's vertical distance above the ground in yards in terms of the angle θ is:

g(θ) = 61 + 51sin(θ)

where sin(θ) represents the vertical component of the distance Jack has traveled.

Note that when θ = 0, sin(θ) = 0, which means Jack is at the very top of the Ferris wheel, 112 yards above the ground. When θ = π/2, sin(θ) = 1, which means Jack is at the 12 o'clock position, 112 + 51 = 163 yards above the ground. Similarly, when θ = π, sin(θ) = 0, which means Jack is at the very bottom of the Ferris wheel, 112 yards above the ground.
