Real-world applications

For the following exercises, use this scenario: A child enters a carousel that takes one minute to revolve once around. The child enters at the point ( 0 , 1 ) , that is, on the due north position. Assume the carousel revolves counter clockwise.

What are the coordinates of the child after 45 seconds?

What are the coordinates of the child after 90 seconds?

( 0 , 1 )

What is the coordinates of the child after 125 seconds?

When will the child have coordinates ( 0.707 , –0.707 ) if the ride lasts 6 minutes? (There are multiple answers.)

37.5 seconds, 97.5 seconds, 157.5 seconds, 217.5 seconds, 277.5 seconds, 337.5 seconds
