Answer

$v = 100~km/h$

Work Step by Step

We can express the car's speed in units of $m/s$: $v = (114~km/h)(\frac{1000~m}{1~km})(\frac{1~h}{3600~s}) = 31.67~m/s$ We can find the angular speed: $\omega = \frac{v}{r}$ $\omega = \frac{31.67~m/s}{100~m}$ $\omega = 0.3167~rad/s$ We can find the cheetah's linear speed: $v = \omega~r$ $v = (0.3167~rad/s)(92~m)$ $v = 29.1364~m/s$ $v = (29.1364~m/s)(\frac{1~km}{1000~m})(\frac{3600~s}{1~h})$ $v = 100~km/h$
