Answer:
The linear (tangential) speed of a passenger is 0.4188 m/s
The distance traveled by the person in 5 minutes ride is 125.64 m
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the Ferris, r = 12 m
1 revolution per 3 minutes, [tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi (radian)}{3\ (minutes)} *\frac{1\ minute}{60 \ seconds} = 0.0349 \ rad/s[/tex]
The linear (tangential) speed of a passenger is given by;
v = ωr
v = (0.0349)(12)
v = 0.4188 m/s
The distance traveled by the person in 5 minutes ride is given by;
d = vt
d = (0.4188)(5 x 60)
d = 125.64 m
