Problem 3

Here is a wheel with radius 1 foot.

A circle with center at the origin of an x y plane. 
  1. List three different counterclockwise angles the wheel can rotate so that point \(P\) ends up at position \(Q\).
  2. How many feet does the wheel roll for each of these angles?

Problem 4

The point \(P\) on the unit circle is in the 0 radian position.

  1. Which counterclockwise rotations take \(P\) back to itself? Explain how you know.
  2. Which counterclockwise rotations take \(P\) to the opposite point on the unit circle? Explain how you know.

Problem 5

Here is the unit circle with a point \(P\) at \((1,0)\). Find the coordinates of \(P\) after the circle rotates the given amount counterclockwise around its center.

A circle with center O at the origin of an x y plane. Point P lies on the outside of the circle, on the x axis, to the right of the origin.
