Question

Starting from the rest and moving in a straight line, a cheetah can achieve a velocity of V2=31msV_2=31\:\dfrac{\text{m}} {\text{s}} during a period of t2=4 st_2=4\text{ s}. What is the average acceleration of the cheetah?

Step 1
1 of 4

Given:

t1=0 st2=4 sV1=0msV2=31ms\begin{aligned} t_1&=0\text{ s}\\ t_2&=4\text{ s}\\ V_1&=0\:\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}\\ V_2&=31\:\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}\\ \end{aligned}

Where:

  • t1t_1 and t2t_2 are the time spans considered in this problem
  • V1V_1 and V2V_2 are the velocities considered in this problem

It is required to find the average acceleration of the cheetah aavga_\text{avg} for the given conditions.
