if you are riding a ferris wheel that is 60ft tall and it takes you 5 mins to make one revolution, what is your linear velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Circumference / time = linear velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mean "tangential" velocity?|dw:1393700394388:dw|

OpenStudy (btaylor):

@paigesuave is right, but technically linear velocity is total displacement/time. Since you start and end in the same place, your velocity is technically zero. Just ignore me though. I'm probably going too far.
