What is the maximum height of the Ferris wheel?

Question image

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the maximum height of a Ferris wheel based on the provided graph. To solve it, we'll interpret the graph of height versus time to identify the peak height value.

Answer

The maximum height of the Ferris wheel is $80$ m.
Answer for screen readers

The maximum height of the Ferris wheel is $80$ m.

Steps to Solve

  1. Understanding the Graph Structure

The graph represents height in meters over time in seconds. The maximum height will be determined from the vertical axis at the peak of the curve.

  1. Identifying Key Points

Locate the peak of the graph. Based on the hypothetical scenario provided, estimate where the maximum height occurs. This may be indicated by the highest point on the graph.

  1. Reading the Maximum Height

In this scenario, it appears that the maximum recorded height correlates with the point on the vertical axis. If we estimate the peak value visually, it appears around 80 meters.

The maximum height of the Ferris wheel is $80$ m.

More Information

The height of a Ferris wheel typically represents the vertical distance from the ground to the highest point it reaches. In many scenarios, Ferris wheels can reach heights between 40 to 90 meters, depending on their design and location.

Tips

  • Misreading the graph and estimating a height lower than the peak.
  • Assuming a linear increase in height instead of recognizing the peak.
