A mischievous young man riding a ferris wheel decides to


Compute all parts of following question:

Question: A mischievous young man riding a ferris wheel decides to release a beanbag as he passes the top point in the ride; at this point in the ride, the young man is traveling due West. The ferris wheel has a radius of 3.09 m and goes around once every 0.97 minutes. The bottom of the wheel is 0.97 m off the ground, so that the release point of the bag will be 7.15 m off the ground.

Part A: What is the velocity of the bean bag just before it is released by the mischievous young man? Give magnitude and direction. Give the direction as an angle in degrees measured counterclockwise from due east, when looking north.

Part B: What is the acceleration of the bean bag just before it is released by the mischievous young man? Give magnitude and direction. Give the direction as an angle in degrees measured counterclockwise from due east, when looking north.

Part C: For how much time is the bean bag in the air?

Part D: The young man finds that the bag does not land directly under the point of release. How far does the bag travel horizontally as it is falling?

It'd be really helpful if you could show all steps of your work for above question.
