A ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o'clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 6 minutes. The function h = f(t) gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. Write an equation for h = f(t).

The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?

A projectile is launched upward from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64f(t)/(s). The equation gives the height h after t seconds. Find the number of seconds until it returns to the ground.
The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/s. When the length is 10 cm and the width is 7 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing (in cm2/s)? Let l and w represent the length and width of the rectangle in cm, and let A represent the area of the rectangle in cm2. Writing an equation for A in terms of l and w gives the following result. A =
A catapult launches a pumpkin from the base of a hill. The hill follows an incline with the height in meters, y, in terms of horizontal distance in meters, x, given by the equation y=0.9x. The height of the pumpkin, as it is launched uphill, is given by the function What is the height, in meters, where the pumpkin lands on the hill?
