Activity

Around a Carousel

Jada, Noah, and Elena are riding a carousel. Here is a view, from above, of the carousel.

<p>Circle that represents a carousel with center O.</p>

<p>A photograph of a large carousel </p>

The carousel moves in a counterclockwise direction. When the ride begins, Jada is at position , Noah is at position , and Elena is at position . The measure of angle is , and the measure of angle is .

The radius of the carousel is 20 feet. How far does Jada travel to reach Noah’s starting position? What about Elena’s starting position? Explain or show how you know.
The carousel makes 1 complete rotation every 10 seconds. At which times will Jada be at her starting position? At which times will she be at Noah's starting position? Explain or show how you know.
The carousel ride lasts for 3.25 minutes. Where will Elena be when the ride ends? How far will she have traveled? Explain or show how you know.

Activity

Modeling the Carousel Motion

Jada begins the carousel ride at point , and Noah begins the ride at point . The radius of the carousel is 20 feet, and it rotates in a counterclockwise direction, making one complete rotation every 10 seconds.

<p>A circle drawn on an x y axis with the x axis labeled h and the y axis labeled v.</p>

1. Write an equation describing the horizontal coordinate of Jada’s location relative to the center of the carousel as a function of time. Make sure to indicate the units of your variables.
2. Sketch a graph of your function.
3. What does the graph tell you about Jada’s location during the carousel ride?
1. Write an equation describing the vertical coordinate of Noah’s location relative to the center of the carousel as a function of time. Make sure to indicate the units of your variables.
2. Sketch a graph of your function.
3. What does the graph tell you about Noah’s location during the carousel ride?

Student Lesson Summary

Here is a point on a Ferris wheel:

<p>A ferris wheel with point P at the top of the wheel.</p>

This Ferris wheel has a diameter of 100 feet and its center is 60 feet off the ground. The Ferris wheel makes one revolution every 5 minutes. We can use this information to write a function that describes the vertical position of , in feet, after minutes. We know

The amplitude is 50 (the diameter of the Ferris wheel is 100 feet).
The midline is at 60 (the center of the Ferris wheel is 60 feet high).
The horizontal translation is ( starts at the angle on the circle).
The period is 5 (every 5 minutes the Ferris wheel makes one complete revolution).

Since we want the vertical position, let's use the sine function. Putting all of this information together, the height of is modeled by the function . Here is a graph of the function:

<p>Graph of function f.</p>
