Question

On a roller coaster, riders can experience a force of up to 3 g. What is themaximum acceleration of the roller coaster?A. 29.4 m/s2B. 18.6 m/s2C. 33.1 m/s2D. 16.5 m/s2

Answer 1

A. 29.4 m/s^2

Explanation:

We have that the value of gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s^2, therefore, if it is 3 times greater, the maximum acceleration would also be 3 times greater, therefore:

`\begin{gathered} a=3\cdot g \\ a=3\cdot9.8 \\ a=29.4m/s^2 \end{gathered}`

The maximum acceleration is 29.4 m/s^2
