Question

A cheetah is fastest land animal it can achive a peak velocity of 100km/h up tp distance less then 500m. If cheetah sports his prey at a distance of 100 up is to minimum will take to it's prey?

Answer 1

Distance b/w the Cheetah and prey : 100 m

Peak velocity of cheetah : 100 km/hr

Converting it into m/s

100 × 1000/60 × 60
= 1000/36
≈ 27.78 m/s

So, time reqd for the cheetah to reach it's prey:
100/27.78 ≈ 3.6 s
(Really fast!)

Answer 2

Hey there!

It's given,

A cheetah is the fastest land animal and it can achieve a peak velocity of 100 km per hour up to distances less less than 500 metres.

We can write 100 km as 27.78 m/s.   [100x1000/60x60]

We know,

Formula to calculate speed:

Speed (v) = Ditance/time (d/t)

∴ Time = Distance/Speed (d/v)

           = 100/27.78

           = 3.6 s

∴ The minimum time it will take to get it's prey is 3.6 second.

Hope it helps You!
