A cheetah can accelerate at a rate of 8.0 M/S^2. Assuming it starts from rest, what will its velocity be after 3.5 SECONDS?

Apply this definition
acceleration x time = velocity change
To find the velocity of the cheetah after 3.5 seconds, we can use the formula for acceleration:
velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration × time)
Given that the cheetah starts from rest (initial velocity = 0 m/s) and has an acceleration of 8.0 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the formula:
velocity = 0 + (8.0 × 3.5)
Now, we can calculate the velocity:
velocity = 0 + (8.0 × 3.5)
= 0 + 28.0
= 28.0 m/s
Therefore, the cheetah's velocity after 3.5 seconds will be 28.0 m/s.
