I| A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2 m/s² for 6.5 s, after which the gazelle continues at a steady speed. a. What is the gazelle's top speed? b. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 m sprint for a human runner is 3.6 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 m race? c. A gazelle would win a longer race. The best time for a 200 m sprint for a human runner is 19.3 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 200 m race?

An insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) has been called the best juniper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at over 4.0 103 m/s2 during a displacement of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially equipped jumping legs.

The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, can accelerate at 8.15 m/s2 to a top speed of vcmax = 30.5 m/s.
