Question

The cheetah, the fastest of land animals, can run a distance of 274 m in 8.65 s at its top speed. What is the cheetahs top speed ?

Answer 1

Answer:

31.68 meters per second.

Explanation:

Speed is equals to Distance divided by Time, so, this means that speed is inversely proportional to time and directly proportional to distance.

Here, Distance is given which is 274 meters.

          Time taken to cover the given distance is 8.65 seconds.

So, by putting the values of distance and time in the formula of speed we will get the top speed of Cheetah which is 31.68 meters per second.
