Question

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

Answer 1

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;

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

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time of motion

Assuming the cheetah started from rest, the initial velocity, u = 0

The average acceleration is calculated as follows;

$Average \ acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t} = \frac{31-0}{4} = 7.75 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the average acceleration of the cheetah is 7.75 m/s²
