Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 29.8 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +?-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs.

Express the cheetah's top speed ?top in miles per hour (mi/h).

(I already have the answer to this one) vtop=66.7 mi/h

Starting from a crouched position, how much time taccel does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed, and what distance ?d does it travel in that time?

(I already have the answer to this one) taccel= 3.725 s & d=55.50 m

If a cheetah sees a rabbit 123.0 m away, how much time ?total will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move and the cheetah starts from rest?

ttotal=_____?______ s

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Top speed of Cheetahs is 29.8ms.

They can accelerate to speed of 20.0ms in 2.50s.

From calculated answers:

Time taken by a cheetah to reach its top speed is 3.725s.

The distance it travel in that time is 55.0m.
