There is a new Ferris wheel opening this year at Frontier city. The ride lasts for 18 minutes, tickets are just $2, and the height in feet of a car after t seconds can be modeled by the trigonometric function h(t)=48sin(2.1t-1.3)+55. Determine the amplitude of h(t) and interpret what the amplitude represents in this context.
