A ferris wheel undergoes circular motion as it rotates around a central axis.
A ferris wheel's motion is periodic, as it follows a repeating cycle of going up and down in a circular motion.
Riders in a Ferris wheel experience translatory motion as they move horizontally along the track of the wheel. This motion is separate from the circular motion of the wheel itself, which rotates around a central axis. The riders' movement is along a straight path while the wheel spins around them.
The rider on a Ferris wheel moves in a circular path, which is a type of translatory motion. However, the rider's overall direction of motion is not changing, so they do not exhibit rotational or spinning motion. This is why the rider experiences translatory motion but not circular motion.
Actually, going around on a Ferris wheel without stopping is an example of rotational motion. Curvilinear motion involves moving along a curved path.

A Ferris wheel has translatory motion because it moves in a straight line while rotating around its central axis. This combination of linear and rotational motion creates the circular path that the riders travel along in the cabins.
The seats on a ferris wheel are monted on axles so that the seats can rotate on these and maintain an orientation such that the riders are sitting horizontally.
Riders in a ferris wheel possess translatory motion because they are not rotating about their axis and are moving in a curved line without rotation (circular motion)
The pivot is the central point around which the Ferris Wheel rotates, allowing it to move in a circular motion. The load on the Ferris Wheel refers to the weight of the passengers and the cabins as they are lifted and rotated by the wheel. The load affects the balance and stability of the Ferris Wheel, which is why proper weight distribution and loading capacity are crucial for safe operation.
Continual motion.
Going around on a Ferris wheel without stopping is an example of uniform circular motion.
Riders in a Ferris wheel have translatory motion as the entire wheel moves along a circular path, resulting in a forward-backward motion. However, the riders themselves do not experience circular motion because they are constrained within their seats, only moving up and down relative to the ground as the wheel rotates.
