Question

A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah.

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration(a)=21.60 km/h or 21,600 m/s

Explanation:

Since you have the initial velocity(0, because it starts from rest) and the final velocity 72 km/h or 72,000 m/s. so...

$a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}\\ a=\frac{72,000 m/s-0}{2s}\\ a=\frac{72,000 m/s}{2s}\\ a=36,000m/s or 36 km/h$
