Answer:
The acceleration of the Cheetah is found to be <u>10.07 m/s²</u>
Explanation:
We have the following data in this question:
Vf = Final Velocity of the Cheetah = 50 miles/hr
Vf = (50 miles/hr)(1 hr/ 3600 s)(1609.34 m/1 mile)
Vf = 22.35 m/s
Vi = Initial Speed of Cheetah = 0 m/s (Since, Cheetah starts from rest)
t = time interval passed = 2.22 s
So, in order to find the acceleration, we simply use the formula for acceleration, that is:
Acceleration = a = (Vf - Vi)/t
a = (22.35 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.22 s
<u>a = 10.07 m/s²</u>
The acceleration of the Cheetah is found to be <u>10.07 m/s²</u>
