Question
**Problem Statement:**

A carnival ride is designed to give riders centripetal accelerations equal to \(3.0 \, \text{m/s}^2\). If the ride is designed so that the passenger compartments are located 12 meters from the axis of rotation, how many times per second does a single passenger compartment make a complete revolution around the central axis?

**Options:**

A) \(\frac{1}{2} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)

B) \(\frac{1}{\pi} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)

C) \(\frac{1}{(4\pi)} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)

D) \(\frac{1}{(3\pi)} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)

E) \(\frac{1}{(2\pi)} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)
