Question

the cheetah is the fastest land animal capable of attaining a speed of 110 km/h. in august 2009, the world record for the mens 100 m sprint was set at 9.58 seconds. how many times is a cheetah as fast as the fastest human sprinter?

Answer 1

Answer: About 175.77 times faster

Step-by-step explanation:

If you convert the amount of Km/h to m/s it would become 110,000m/60 sec. (do this by 110 x 10^3). Divide these numbers and you find that the cheetah was going 1833.33 meters per second.  If you divide 100m by 9.58s you would find out that the sprinter was going at about 10.43 meters per second. Divide these two totals by each other 1833.33/10.43 you find that the cheetah was going about 175.77 times faster than the sprinter
