18PRACTICE PROBLEM
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 r=(15.0 m)cos[(0.500 rad/s)t]i^+(15.0 m)sin[(0.500 rad/s)t]j^ , where r is in meters, and t is in seconds. Calculate the velocity and acceleration of the cabin as functions of time.
