Final answer:
It takes the cheetah 5.14 seconds to run 100 meters at its top speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the time it takes for a cheetah to run 100 meters at its top speed of 70 kilometers per hour, we need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.
70 km/h = 70 * 1000 m/3600 s = 19.44 m/s
Now we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 100 m / 19.44 m/s = 5.14 seconds
