Starting from rest and moving in a straight line, a cheetah

UNO [17]

The average acceleration of the cheetah is 7.75 m/s²

The given parameters;

velocity of the cheetah, v = 31 m/s

time of motion, t = 4 seconds

The average acceleration of the cheetah is calculated as follows;

$Average \ acceleration = \frac{\Delta velocity}{\Delta time } \\\\Average \ acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t}$
