Answer:
10 m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
Acceleration: This the rate of change of velocity. The unit of acceleration is m/s²
From the question,
a = (v-u)/t.................... Equation 1
Where a = acceleration of the cheetah, v = final velocity of the cheetah, u = initial velocity of the cheetah, t = time.
Given: u = 0 m/s, v = 25 m/s, t = 2.5 s.
Substitute these values into equation 1
a = (25-0)/2.5
a = 25/2.5
a = 10 m/s²
Hence the acceleration of the cheetah = 10 m/s²
