(1)
Cheetah speed: 
Its position at time t is given by
(1)
Gazelle speed: 
the gazelle starts S0=96.8 m ahead, therefore its position at time t is given by
(2)
The cheetah reaches the gazelle when
. Therefore, equalizing (1) and (2) and solving for t, we find the time the cheetah needs to catch the gazelle:



(2) To solve the problem, we have to calculate the distance that the two animals can cover in t=7.5 s.
Cheetah: 
Gazelle: 
So, the gazelle should be ahead of the cheetah of at least

Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector. The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are. It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes. If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity. So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd
It’s the crest, the crest is the top part of the wave and the trough is the bottom so they correspond
