A cheetah can run from 0 to 70 mph in 2.2 seconds. What is its speed in m/s?

70 mph
= 70 * 1600 m/h
= 112000 m/h
-> 112000 m/h
= 112000 /3600 m/s
= 31.111... m/s
= 31 m/s (2s.f)

The cheetah's speed of 70 mph converts to approximately 31.29 m/s.
The conversion factor used is 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s.
To convert the speed from mph to m/s, we need to use the conversion factor:
1 mile per hour (mph) = 0.44704 meters per second (m/s)
Thus, 70 mph can be converted to m/s as follows:
70 mph × 0.44704 m/s per mph ≈ 31.29 m/s
So, the speed of the cheetah in meters per second is approximately 31.29 m/s.

The speed of the cheetah converted from 70 mph is approximately 31.29 m/s. This is done using the conversion factor where 1 mph equals 0.44704 m/s. By multiplying 70 mph by this factor, we get the speed in meters per second.
