maximum speed of cheetah is

speed of gazelle is given as

Now the relative speed of Cheetah with respect to Gazelle


now the relative distance between Cheetah and Gazelle is given initially as "d"
now the time taken by Cheetah to catch the Gazelle is given as

so by rearranging the terms we can say


so above is the relation between all given variable
<h2>
The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²
Time, t = 3 s
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²
s = 44.145 m
The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
