Question

A scientist records a cheetah traveling 56 meters in 7 seconds. At what speed does the cheetah travel in meters per second.

Answer 1

27m/s

Explanation:

distance(s) = 56m

Time(t) = 7sec

Speed(u) = ?m/s

using the formula

S = ut + ½at²

56 = 7u + ½ × 10 × 7²

56 = 7u + 5 × 49

56 = 7u + 245

7u = 245 – 56

7u = 189

u = 189/7

u = 27m/s

i hope i helped

Answer 2

8 meters per second.

Explanation:

To find how many meters the cheetah travels per second, we need to divide 56 by 7.

This gives us 8, with no remainders, and our answer.
