8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation / Uniform Circular Motion / Problem 3
Consider a Ferris wheel rotating in the vertical plane, with the position of a cabin modeled as a point moving in a circular path. The position in the xy-plane is given by , where r is in meters, and t is in seconds. Calculate the velocity and acceleration of the cabin as functions of time.
