The table shows the times it took different animals to cover various distances.
MOTION OF ANIMALS
Animals Distance (km) Time (h)
Gray fox 73 1.05
Gazelle 68 0.85
Rabbit 70 1.25
Cheetah 85 0.75
Giraffe 60 1.15
Antelope 93 0.95
Which animal's speed is the greatest?
To find the animal with the greatest speed, we need to compare the distances covered by each animal in the same amount of time.
To calculate the speed, we can use the formula: speed = distance / time.
Calculating the speeds for each animal:
Gray fox: 73 km / 1.05 h = 69.52 km/h
Gazelle: 68 km / 0.85 h = 80 km/h
Rabbit: 70 km / 1.25 h = 56 km/h
Cheetah: 85 km / 0.75 h = 113.33 km/h
Giraffe: 60 km / 1.15 h = 52.17 km/h
Antelope: 93 km / 0.95 h = 97.89 km/h
From the calculations, we can see that the cheetah has the greatest speed, with 113.33 km/h.
