A cheetah is running in a straight line in pursuit of prey. The cheetah's mass is 63.9 kg. Through its running motion, assume the cheetah experiences a constant forward force of 609.1 N. Also, assume the cheetah experiences a constant 107.9 N air resistance force that is opposite its motion. What is the magnitude of the cheetah's acceleration, in units of m/s2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a = 7.84 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

          F - fr = m a

indicate that the force is F = 609.1 N and the friction force is fr = 107.9 N and is constant

         a = [tex]\frac{F - fr}{m}[/tex]

let's calculate

          a = [tex]\frac{ 609.1 - 107.9 }{63.9}[/tex]

          a = 7.84 m / s²
