Ferris Wheel
Mr. Gleeson's Ferris Wheel
Have a look at this Ferris Wheel animation. You can control: radius, middle point, period(time), and you can choose to show or hide lines that indicate the minimum, maximum, and middle heights, as well as a line that follows the height of the rider(orange dot).
Also have a look at the Curve part.
I have already written the curve in the form of: .
Can you find the curve's correct values for: a, k, c?
If you can, the orange dot will track the curve perfectly.
Also, do you understand why the function works well for this Ferris Wheel?
Ask if you're not sure!
