If you ran 5 mph how long would it take to run a mile?
The world record for the half marathon (approx 13.1 miles) is 58.55 minutes.
At level pace 5.4 miles could thus be run in 58.55 x 5.4/13.1 = 24.14 minutes.
For runners of a lesser ability a time of 30 minutes would be acceptable.
What dog that can run as fast as cheetah?
No. A greyhound, which is a fast running dog, can run 45 miles per hour. A cheetah can normally run up to 70 miles per hour and have been clocked at speeds over 100 miles per hour.
However, the cheetah soon tires; it can only sustain that speed for a minute or so, before needing a rest. Dogs on the other hand, will literally go until they die, and that could be for days on end.
Can a cheetah change direction in mid air?
NO! Cheetahs cannot change direction in midair. It is physically impossible to change direction in midair without applying some opposing force. Cheetahs can, however, twist their bodies to change their orientation in midair, but their direction of travel remains the same until their feet hit the ground.
The "weird but true" fact proposed by National Geographic is a misleading statement. Cheetahs cannot change direction in midair, but they can twist their orientation, which is not weird or remarkable, as many people and animals can accomplish this same maneuver in a similar manner.
