A Ferris Wheel, with radius 50 ft., turns counterclockwise one revolution every 18 seconds. Bryce stands at a point 120 ft. from the base of the wheel on the “upward motion” side and off to one side at an angle of 20°. The wind is blowing toward the Ferris Wheel, essentially into Bryce’s face, at an angle 30° to the base of the wheel. This wind results in an acceleration of 12 ft/s2 . At the instant Susan is at point A (3 o’clock on the wheel), Bryce throws a ball at the Ferris Wheel, releasing it from the same height as the bottom of the wheel. If the ball’s initial speed is 110 ft/sec and it is released at an angle of 60° with the horizontal, does Susan have a chance to catch the ball? Explain why/why not
