A cheetah has a mass of 50kg and can accelerate at 10 m/s2. This is equal to 500 Newtons which is the force the cheetah creates to run. Let's calculate how much work the cheetah does and how much power it generates when it runs 50 meters in 3 seconds. Step 1: Determine how much work is done (measured in joules).

Multiply the force by the distance 500N×50meters= joules

Step 2: Determine the power (measured in Watts).

Divide the work by the time it took to do the work 25,000joules÷3s.= watts
