The linear speed of one of the cars is 7.75 feet per second
The cars (seats) of a Ferris wheel are positioned 74 feet from its center.
The radius, r = 74 feet
The Ferris wheel makes 4 revolutions every 4 minutes
Number of revolutions per minute = 1
Angular speed, w = 1 rev/min
Angular speed, w = 0.10472 rad/sec
The relationship between the linear speed (v), and the angular speed (w) is:
v = wr
Substitute w = 0.10472 and r = 74 feet into the formula:
v = 0.10472 x 74
v = 7.75 feet per second
The linear speed of one of the cars is 7.75 feet per second
