Question

A cheetah is the fastest of all land animals and has been known to run up to speeds of 115 km/hr. Given these conversion factors, what is this speed in yards/second

Answer 1

The speed in yards per second is 34.9349 yard/sec.

Explanation:

Given : A cheetah is the fastest of all land animals and has been known to run up to speeds of 115 km/hr.

To find : What is this speed in yards/second ?

Solution :

We have to convert km/hr into yards/ second.

We know that,

1 kilometer = 1093.61 yards

1 hour = 3600 seconds

`1\ \text{km/hr}=(1093.61)/(3600)\ \text{yard/sec}`

`1\ \text{km/hr}=0.30378\ \text{yard/sec}`

So, 115 kilometer per hour into yards per second is

`115\ \text{km/hr}=115* 0.30378\ \text{yard/sec}`

`115\ \text{km/hr}=34.9349\ \text{yard/sec}`

Therefore, The speed in yards per second is 34.9349 yard/sec.
