A cheetah is hunting. Its prey runs for 2.88 s at a constant velocity of +8.93 m/s. Starting from rest, what constant acceleration must the cheetah maintain in order to run the same distance as its prey runs in the same time? (Give the magnitude of the acceleration

1 answer

Dc = Dp
0.5a*t^2 = 8.93 * 2.88
0.5a*2.88^2 = 25.72
Solve for a.
