1) The Riddler’s Revenge: Length = 4370, Ride time = 45.84 sec

2) Superman: The Ultimate: Length = 2759, Ride time = 31.35 sec

3) Boomerang: Length = 935, Ride time = 13.57 sec


Here is an example..

Example: Length is 4000 feet and 1 meter = 3.281 feet
distance in meters = (4000feet/1)(1 meter/3.281 feet) = 1219.14 meters
Use a = (2s)/( t squared) , s = distance in meters and t = time in seconds
a = 2( 1219.14)/(41.96*41.96) = 1.38 meters/ second squared



First one to answer correctly gets 10 easy points!
