Question

A cheetah attends the speed of 110 km per hour but the fastest human Sprinter goes a hundred meters in 9.58 seconds. How many times faster is the cheetah than the human sprinter

Answer 1

73.27 km/hr

Explanation:

The fastest human sprinter sprints 100 metres in 9.58 seconds. Thus, speed of sprinter is;

V_sprinter = 100/9.8

V_sprinter = 10.204 m/s

Now, from conversion, 1 m/s = 3.6 km/hr

Then, 10.204 m/s = (10.204 × 3.6)/1 = 36.73 km/h

The cheetah sprints 110 km/hr

Thus, the cheetah is faster by: 110 - 36.73 = 73.27 km/hr
