cheetah is the fastest land animal im the world.
it can run at a rate of 32 yards per second.
that's as fast as a car! however, the cheetah can only run at this speed for about 496 yards.
using the formula D-RT, how long in seconds can a cheetah maintain its top speed?
;
R = 32 yds/sec
D = 496 yds
Therefore:
32T = 496
T = 496%2F32
T = 15.5 seconds

Check by finding the distance: 15.5 * 32 = 496
