Answer: B) 29.4 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The g force is the gravitational force equivalent. Recall,

gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

This means that the 1 g force is equivalent to an acceleration of 9.8m/s^2

From the information given,

riders can experience a force of up to 3 g. Thus, the maximum acceleration of the roller coaster is

3 x 9.8

= 29.4

B) 29.4 m/s^2
