A Ferris wheel has a radius of 20 m, and the bottom of the wheel passes 4 m above the ground. If the Ferris wheel makes one complete revolution every 40 s, find the amplitude, midline, period, and an equation that gives the height, h(t), above the ground of a person on the Ferris wheel as a function of time, where t is in seconds. Assume at t = 0 you are at 9 o'clock position and descending. Graph: 20 Amplitude: Midline: Period:

For a person at rest, the velocity v (in liters per second) of airflow during a respiratory cycle (the time from the beginning of one breath to the beginning of the next) is modeled by v=0.85sint/3, where t is the time (in seconds). a Find the time for one full respiratory cycle. b Find the number of cycles per minute. c Sketch the graph of the velocity function. Use the graph to confirm your answer in part a by finding two times when new breaths begin. (Inhalation occurs when v0, and exhalation occurs when v0.)

If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.
