The cheetah, which is the fastest land mammal, can accelerate from 0.0 mi/hr to 70.0 mi/hr in 3.0 seconds.

What is the acceleration of the cheetah? Give your answer in units of mph/sec.

Initial velocity of Cheetah (V1) = 0.0 mi/hr

Final velocity of Cheetah (V2) = 70 mi/hr

Time for acceleration (T) = 3 seconds.

We know the formula

Accelaration (A) = Velocity/Time

So

A = (V2 - V1) / T

= (70 - 0) / 3

= 70/3

= 23.33mph/sec

So the accelaration of the Cheetah is 23.33 mph/sec.
