What's Faster Than a Speeding Cheetah? by Robert E. Wells Pdf
What's faster than a cheetah?—no animal on earth can run faster. But a peregrine falcon can swoop faster than a cheetah can run. And the falcon can't compare to an airplane, a rocket, or the speed of light. Lively text and watercolors will make children laugh while they learn all about speed.
Answers questions about the speed or jumping ability of various kinds of animals, from racehorses and cheetahs to sloths, including snakes, marine animals, and birds.
Describes the anatomical features that make the cheetah the fastest animal on land, includes fascinating facts about its habits and behavior, and compares its speed to that of other animals.
The cheetah can run faster than any animal in the world. It races along at up to 70 miles per hour—that’s more than the speed limit on most highways! Plus, this sleek cat has faster acceleration than a sports car. A cheetah can go from 0 to 45 miles per hour in less than three seconds! These are some of the fascinating facts in store for kids as they learn all about these speedy creatures. Eye-popping photos and clear, easy-to-read text will engage emergent readers as they discover the anatomical features that help cheetahs reach fast speeds. A "Speed-o-Meter" graphic compares the cheetah's top speed to that of humans and racehorses.
In this third book by Ben Hillman, young readers will learn and see just how fast something is. By comparing objects such as the Thrust SSC (that's a Thrust-powered Super Sonic Car), an ostrich (don't underestimate the ostrich, my friend!), the human brain, and bamboo,wildly different objects are taken out of normal context and placed next to one another to allow for new and exciting perspectives. So just how fast is an ostrich? An ostrich would beat a top-notch professional cyclist in a ten-mile (sixteen km) race, hands down! While the best cyclists can race at blistering speeds of twenty-five miles per hour, the ostrich can run at forty-five miles per hour!

Cheetah Speed Cheetah Speed is a step by step speed training program that focuses on sprinting mechanics and relates the bio-mechanical aspects of a cheetah's running ability to man. We have learned speed principles from the world's fastest animal and incorporated these principles to enhance man's ability to move more rapidly, quicker and improve agile. Our research of the cheetah's bio-mechanics has not only brought a new light to speed training;, but also new exercises that we compiled from the science and technology of a Cheetah's Speed. The concepts and principles in this book are readily understandable with easily implementation of over 75 sets of exercises for a sprinter's speed development. This manual will teach coaches, athletes, and dads the ability to train athletes, runners or sons and daughters to run faster and quicker and improve agility. The Cheetah Speed training programs is ideal for football, soccer, basketball, baseball or sports where speed is an asset. This manual also provides a sprinter's assessment check sheets. That will help speed coaches to spot flawed sprinting mechanics and provide a list of corrective remedies. Once, the coach has instilled Cheetah Speed Mechanics into a sprinter through the use of the training techniques and exercises in this manual.
