Speed of the Cheetah

To calculate the speed of the cheetah, we need to divide the distance it runs by the time taken. In this case, the cheetah runs a distance of 250 meters in 50 seconds.

Calculating the Speed in m/s

To find the speed of the cheetah in meters per second (m/s), we divide the distance (in meters) by the time (in seconds).

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 250 meters / 50 seconds

Speed = 5 meters per second (m/s)

Therefore, the speed of the cheetah is 5 m/s.

Calculating the Speed in km/hr

To convert the speed from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per hour (km/hr), we need to multiply the speed by a conversion factor.

1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds

Conversion Factor = (1000 meters / 1 kilometer) * (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

Conversion Factor = 0.2778 (approximately)

Speed in km/hr = Speed in m/s * Conversion Factor

Speed in km/hr = 5 m/s * 0.2778

Speed in km/hr = 1.39 km/hr (approximately)

Therefore, the speed of the cheetah is approximately 1.39 km/hr.

Summary

The cheetah's speed is calculated by dividing the distance it runs by the time taken. In this case, the cheetah runs 250 meters in 50 seconds, giving a speed of 5 m/s. To convert this speed to km/hr, we multiply it by a conversion factor of 0.2778, resulting in a speed of approximately 1.39 km/hr.
