The cheetah, which is the fastest land mammal, can accelerate from 0.0 mi/hr to 70.0 mi/hr in 3.0 seconds.
What is the acceleration of the cheetah? Give your answer in units of mph/sec.
Answer (3)
The acceleration of the cheetah from 0.0 mph to 70.0 mph in 3.0 seconds is 23.3 mph/sec. ;
Initial velocity of Cheetah(V1) = 0.0 mi/hr Final velocity of Cheetah(V2) = 70 mi/hr Time for acceleration(T) = 3 seconds. We know the formula Accelaration(A) = Velocity/Time So A = (V2 -V1)/T = (70 -0)/3 = 70/3 = 23.33mph/sec So the accelaration of the Cheetah is 23.33 mph/sec.
The acceleration of the cheetah is approximately 23.33 mph/sec. This is calculated using the change in velocity divided by the time taken to accelerate. Therefore, the cheetah quickly speeds up to 70 mph in just 3 seconds.
