Problema Solution
a female cheetah ran 170 meters in 6 seconds. at this pace how far would she go in one minute?
Answer provided by our tutors
Since the average speed equals distance divided by time we have:
v = 170/6 m/s
t = 1 min = 60 s
d = ?
From v = d/t follows d = v*t. Plug the values into d = v*t:
d = (170/6)*60
v = 170*10
v = 1,700 m
v = 1.7 km
In 1 minute the cheetah will go distance of 1.7 kilometers.
