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.
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.
