How to model the distance from the ground on a Ferris wheel with respect to time.

Make a graph Your Y-axis is going to represent your height and the X-axis is going to represent time. Now lets say that you are at the top of the Ferris wheel... your graph should have this shape: http://www.wsd1.org/waec/math/Pre-Calculus%20Advanced/Trigonometry/Graphing/images/sinxbasic.gif the top of that red line represents your height on top of the ferris wheel at time zero, the bottom of the valley of the red line represents the lowest part of the ride. Hope that makes sense :D
