What Are We Measuring?
  • Our group chose to measure the vertical distance
    (height) of a certain point on the Ferris wheel
    from the ground. In addition, we measured the
    change in arc length from a point at the bottom
    of the Ferris wheel in relation to a point on the
    Ferris wheel. Our goal was to compare these two
    variables and learn more about the relationship
    between them.

Conclusion
  • For our project, we chose to measure the vertical
    distance from a point on the circle to a point on
    the ground, and the change in the arc length in
    relation to a point on the bottom of the Ferris
    Wheel and another point. The graphical
    relationship appears to be a bell curve is
    because as the arc length gets longer up until
    the very top of the Ferris Wheel, the height will
    get larger. As the cart is on the way back down,
    the arc length is still increasing, while the
    height is decreasing. This creates a bell, or
    normal curve graph.
