Question

The inclination (tilt) of an amusement park ride is accelerating at a rate of 2160\,\dfrac{\text{degrees}}{\text{min}^2}

What is the ride's acceleration rate in \dfrac{\text{degrees}}{\text{s}^2}

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To convert the acceleration rate from degrees per minute squared to degrees per second squared, we need to divide by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute).

Given:
Acceleration rate = 2160 degrees/min^2

To convert to degrees/s^2:
Acceleration rate = 2160 degrees/min^2 / 60 s/min
Acceleration rate = 36 degrees/s^2

Therefore, the ride's acceleration rate is 36 degrees/s^2.
