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!
