A cheetah can accelerate at up to 6.0 m/s^2. How long does it take for a cheetah to speed up from 10.5 m/s to 12.2 m/s?

we have,

"acceleration" = 6 " m/s"^2

"initial velocity" = 10.5" m/s"

"final velocity" = 12.2" m/s"

color(white)(OOO

"acceleration" = ("final velocity " - " initial velocity")/ "time taken"

"time taken to speed up from 10.5m/s to 12.2m/s" = (12.2-10.5)/6 = 1.7/6 = 0.28 " seconds"
