You sit at the outer rim of a Ferris wheel that rotates at 2 revolutions per minute (RPM). What would your rotational speed be if you were instead clinging to a position halfway from the center to the outer rim?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be the same ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know you tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because changing the position on the ferris wheel wouldn't really matter would it ? i mean really just because you chang the position on the wheel , your still on the wheel so you would still be going the same speed??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah u right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u have answers listed ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if not then i think its the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Rotational speed will not change. For everyone sitting anywhere on the wheel, it will remain the same, i.e. 2 RPM.
