Cheetah, cheetah is the fastest mammal in the word with a top speed of on avg, 75mph.
100m dash is all about getting to top speed as fast as possible. the faster you can get to top speed the less time it takes to complete the distance. a combination of acceleration and top speed are crucial in winning a sprint race.
During Usain Bolt's World record 100m sprint (9.58) at the 2009 Athletic Championships in Berlin, Bolt covered reached his top speed of 12.27 m/s or 27.45 miles per hour at the 65 meter mark.
He was recorded on the Auburn High track blazing through the 100m so fast that the precision of camcorder timing isn't adequate to measure his top speed.
Well, donovan Bailey ran the 100m in 9.84 seconds. that's 10.16 m/s. 36.59 km/h. However this is the average, not the top speed. He ran faster then that for part of his sprint and slower for other parts. If we look at top speed as being the highest speed achievable rather than over a race distance we should look at the fastest 10 metre increments in the 100 race. The top athletes are all around .83+ secs for several of the 10 metre segments. The very best can hit this speed a bit earlier in the race and/or hold on to it for a little longer but the top speeds are virtually the same at around 12mps . That's 43.2 kph or 26.85 mph. Usain Bolt probably touches 27 mph at some point
yes he is still speeding
At least 26mph, I had mine out with my mountain bike yesterday and he was keeping up with me no problem in a sprint at 26mph.
Check the related link - the attached website tells kids how they can measure the speed of a Cheetah.
They can sprint for short periods up to 45 to 50 miles an hour.
Well top speed varies by breed, but for a Thoroughbred it's around 40 - 45mph. While Quarter horses can sprint a quarter mile at up to 50 mph. The world record for a horse is 55 mph.
It really does depend on how fit and healthy you are!The fastest Human Ever recorded:As of June 2000, the fastest human ever recorded is Michael Johnson, the American track and field star. On August 1, 1996 he set the world record by running 200 meters in 19.32 seconds. He won an Olympic title in Atlanta, GeorgiaJohnson's record can be calculated to equal 10.35 m/s or 37.267 km/hNote -this speed is slow compared to the cheetah who can run at a top speed of about 30 m/s or 100 km/h -- three times the speed of the fastest person on Earth.The Average Human:The average person runs generally from 12 - 17 miles an hour in sprints. Running over a longer period of time you can potentially go faster. Humans are some of the slowest mammals because we have not adapted fully into being bipedal creatures. We still have a short femur bone from when we crawled.
