here is another question....
complete the following problems:
a.) what is the average spped of a jet plane that flies 7200 km in 9 hours?
b.) a car accelerates from 0 km/hr to 60 km/hr in 5.0 seconds. What is the car's acceleration? Watch your units!!!

The ferris wheel is going at constant speed, but you are accellerated due to how gravity affects it. If the ferris wheel is going up, the ferris wheel is acting against gravity, so when you are going down it is going with gravity, thus accelerating you.

you have acceleration do to gravity! 9.81 meters per (second squared)

it's due to gravity. Gravity = 9.8m/sec^2 i think...i took physics i hated it...
