Answer:
the cheetah traveled 243 m, it could not catch up with the gazelle that traveled 245 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Cheetah running at 90 km/h
Separated from a distance of 20 m
Now speed is 97 km/h
The time is 9 seconds
We need to find out whether it would catch up with the gazelle
For Gazelle
90 km = 90 × 1,000 = 90,000 m
1 h = 1 × (60 x 60) = 3600 s
Now
90,000: 3,600 = 25 m / s
For Cheetah
97 Km = 97 × 1000 = 97,000 m
1 h = 1 × (60 × 60) = 3600 s
Now
97 000: 3600 = 26.94 i.e. 27 m/s
e = 27 m /s × 9 s = 243 m
e = 25 m/s × 9 s = 225 m
Now
we have to add 20 m advantage to the gazelle.
So,
= 225 + 20
= 245 m
So based on the above calculation
the cheetah traveled 243 m, it could not catch up with the gazelle that traveled 245 m.
