7. How long would it take a leopard running at 9 m/s to cover 32m?

Answer 1

3.6 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The leopard is moving by uniform motion (constant velocity), therefore we can use the equation

`v=(d)/(t)`

where

v is the speed of the leopard

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

Here we have:

v = 9 m/s is the speed

d = 32 m is the distance that the leopard has to cover

Solving for t, we find the time needed for the leopard to cover the 32 m:

`t=(d)/(v)=(32)/(9)=3.6 s`
