Horse and cheetah which on is fastest?

Depends on how far the race is? A Cheetah is built for speed over a short distance - several hundred metres, where it will be faster than a horse. The horse is able to maintain a brisk pace over a much longer distance and the cheetah could not maintain the horse's speed over a longer distance!


What mammal is the swiftest over a short distance?

The fastest terrestrial mammal over a sustained distance is the Pronghorn antelope


How was a cheetah's speed calculated?

A cheetah's speed is typically calculated by measuring the distance it covers in a set amount of time, such as by using radar guns or cameras. By dividing the recorded distance by the time taken, the cheetah's speed can be determined. The top recorded speed of a cheetah is around 58-64 miles per hour.


If a cheetah can run fifty-six miles per hour then how far could a cheetah go in fifteen minutes?

speed=distance/time so speed*time=distance hence 56*(15/60)=14miles

What is the longest distance a cheetah can run?

A cheetah can run at full speed, reaching up to 60-70 miles per hour, but it can only maintain this for short distances, typically around 1,500 feet (approximately 460 meters). Beyond this distance, they quickly tire due to the intense energy expenditure required for such high-speed chases. While they can cover longer distances at a slower pace, their sprinting ability is primarily adapted for short bursts to catch prey.


Is it possible for a man to fun faster than a cheetah?

In a long distance race, yes. Cheetahs are only able to run at top speed for short distances as they lack endurance. The cheetah would have to stop and recuperate for nearly an hour. For distances over a half mile the man would eventually pass the tired cheetah and win the race.


What is the average speed of a cheetah that sprints 100 meters in 4 secs?

To calculate the average speed of a cheetah that sprints 100 meters in 4 seconds, you divide the distance by the time. The average speed is 100 meters divided by 4 seconds, which equals 25 meters per second. Therefore, the average speed of the cheetah is 25 m/s.
