The average human cannot sprint that fast. I'd peg the average person sprinting closer to half that (obviously there's a lot of variance, but I think only the top 1% of athletes could run 30 kph even for 5 seconds). For a frame of reference, try to run at the top speed of a treadmill (most max out at 15 mph, and most people can't go that fast - at least not at the gym).
- lolc 8y agoYou're both right because 30 km/h = 18,6 mph
- mr_toad 8y agoThe fastest athletes can max out at nearly 45 kph when given a running start. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footspeed https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footspeed But I’m not sure that the average human could even run 100m these days.
