Cheetahs, the world's fastest land animals, can run up to about 125 km/h. A cheetah chasing an impala runs 32 m [N], then suddenly turns and runs 46 m [W] before lunging at the impala. The entire motion takes only 2.7 seconds.

a) Determine the cheetah's average speed for this motion.
b) Determine the cheetah's average velocity.

Av Speed = total distance / time time = 32+ 46 / 2.7 = 28 m/sec Av velocity = total displacement / time total = S / t S = sqrt( 32^2 +46^2) = 56 m Av Velocity = 56/ 2,7 = 20.75 m/sec with angle tan^-1 = 0.7 north west ( about 35 degrees north west)

The cheetah's average speed for this motion is 28.89 m/s, and its average velocity is 20.46 m/s. ;

The cheetah's average speed is approximately 28.89 m/s, calculated by dividing the total distance of 78 m over 2.7 seconds. The average velocity, considering the cheetah's displacement of about 55.8 m, is approximately 20.67 m/s. Both measures give insight into the cheetah's speed during the chase.
