Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 29.5 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +?-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed top in miles per hour--- (mi/h).   Starting from a crouched position, how much time does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed what distance does it travel in that time?    If a cheetah sees a rabbit 131.0 m away, how much time in total will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move and the cheetah starts from rest?
