A cheetah is the fastest animal on land and can achieve a peak velocity of 100 km per hour upto less than 500 m .If a cheetah spots it's prey at a distance of 100 m , What is the minimum time it will take to get it prey

Explanation:

solution :

           peak speed of cheetah = 100 km/hr

                    First  we will convert the speed into m/s

                                 therefore ,

                                 100 km/hr = 100 *1000 m / 60 *60

 ( because 1km = 1000 m and 1hr = 60 mimutes and 1 minute = 60 seconds )

                                 100km/hr = 100*5/18 m/s

                                               = 500 /18 m/s

                 Therefore , Peak speed of  Cheetah =  500/18 m/s

                    Distance between cheetah and its prey = 100 m

  Therefore ,

              time taken by cheetah to reach its prey at a distance of 100 m  =  distance between cheetah and prey / velocity of cheetah

                                                    = 100 /( 500/18) seconds

                                                     = 100*18/500

                                                     = 18/5

                                                     = 3.6 seconds

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 HELP U.
