Question

1. the cheetah, the fastest land animal can run a distance of 274 meters in 8.65 seconds at its top speed. what is the cheetahs top speed?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for speed

Speed \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d\) is distance and \(t\) is time.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(d = 274\) meters and \(t=8.65\) seconds. Then \(v=\frac{274}{8.65}\)

Step3: Calculate the value

\(v=\frac{274}{8.65}\approx31.687\) meters per second.

Answer:

The cheetah's top speed is approximately \(31.69\) meters per second.
