Answer:
1) 64.2 mi/h
2) 3.31 seconds
3) 47.5 m
4) 5.26 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken = 2.5 s
u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s
v = Final velocity = 21.7 m/s
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
1) Top speed = 28.7 m/s
1 mile = 1609.344 m
1 hour = 60×60 seconds
Top speed of the cheetah is 64.2 mi/h
Equation of motion
Acceleration of the cheetah is 8.68 m/s²
2)
It takes a cheetah 3.31 seconds to reach its top speed.
3)
It travels 47.5 m in that time
4) When s = 120 m
The time it takes the cheetah to reach a rabbit is 120 m is 5.26 seconds
