A cheetah goes from 0m/s to 25m/s in 2.5 s. What is the cheetah's rate of acceleration?

10 m/s²

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

some think that theories become laws, but theories and laws have separate and distinct roles in the scientific method. a law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world that hold true every time it is tested. it doesn't explain why something is true; it just states that it is true.
