QuestionChapter 8: Graphs of Trigonomeulic 350 [EX4] A ferris wheel with a diameter of 32 m makes 2 revolutions every 10 minutes. The center of the wheel is 18 m above the ground. Suppose Philip gets on an ascending car, 18 m above the ground at time t=0t=0. (1) Draw a graph to show how Philip's position ( hh ) above the ground varies with time ( tt ) for the first revolution.

Studdy Solution
Draw the graph of h(t) h(t) for the first revolution (0 to 5 minutes). The graph is a cosine wave starting at the minimum value of 2 meters (18 - 16) and reaching a maximum of 34 meters (18 + 16) at the midpoint of the period (2.5 minutes).
The graph should show a smooth cosine wave starting at 2 meters, peaking at 34 meters at 2.5 minutes, and returning to 2 meters at 5 minutes.
