The first equation that I had figured out/used is the equation for
falling time. I had gotten this equation from our very first class work.
The equation is t=Öh/16. In this equation “t” stands for time, which is
the thing that I was looking for. The “h” stands for height, which the
distance that the object is from the ground. The 16 is half of the rate
that and object falls at—32— everything falls at the same rate against
gravity, and that rate is 16. The process that I took find this equation
was:
Steps
t=Öh/16
The second equation that I had found was the equation for
time, and 9 is the degrees per second. The 65 represents 65ft, which
is the center of the Ferris wheel to the ground, and the 50 represents
the radius of the Ferris Wheel. Those 2 numbers were given to us.
Also, in the unit problem, we used sine and cosine because they are 2
trigonometry functions that would help us find the triangle that will be
created between the ground, the height and where Andre will be. Also,
position (vertical).
Also, Trigonometry is the study of how the sides and angles of a
triangle are related to each other. So, one would assume that Trig only
has to do with triangles, but trig also has to do with circles because, If
unit, we call the circle that the end of the hypotenuse draws, a unit
circle.
tried to enter it into the calculator as it was, but it didn’t work. Later
because that is how the calculator will read it. That was a step that I
had to my original plan, or I wouldn’t have been able to solve the Unit
Problem. So, I had to figure out where each parenthesis will be and
240) as my second line. After I just graphed it and the calculator found
