Since this ride is sitting on the ground; why isn't the height 40m?

Sam Z.
As for height I'm working with trig. rad=20; this is the hypotenuse (side c). Side "a" is the height. Side "b" is horizontal. You want side "a". The formula we'll use is c^2-b^2=a^2. To get "a" we need a/sin(alpha)=c. By using 30 for "a"; I got a/sin30=20; a=10. 1 sec=4deg. 30/4=7.5sec

we have the height for all the t using h= -20cos{Pi/45(t) +20 We need a new equation for vertical distance from origin using t and h already found.06/21/19
