I have been asking this question and getting from 1.5 metres to 9 metres. Does anybody know the answer to this question?.

maybe because it is a very confusing question. do you mean how far he's gone in a second? he wasn't a quick starter
|
|
By:
greyhounds, now they are extraordinary how quickly they hit top speed. even cheetahs can't match it.
forgive my utterly irrelevant post  |
|
By:
but while i'm posting irrelevantly i shall continue.........humans are really slow. sprinting is of little use to us.
where we score is distance running. no animal can outlast us, wild dogs & wolves are the closest but even they can't cover the distances. a huge factor in the evolutionary success of the human race. damn maybe that is why they called it that |

Video is available just pause it 1.0 secs in. Looks about 3-4 meters. Neck and neck with everyone else really so it'll always be about that.

By:
they move 0 metres in first 0.1 seconds or else they are disqualified
bolt's reaction time was usually around 0.15 seconds he can run 10metres at top speed, in 0.81 seconds doesnt answer your question though inspired get video on youtube and stop it when clock says 1.00??? no animal can outlast us?....not even a horse ? |
|
By:
nope. a horse can't run 26 miles non stop without needing a rest. they can walk & canter a bit but can't run it
|
|
By:
on average the 9.58 run was 10.43 meters per second, I don't know how far he ran in the first second officially but the first 10 meters are always the slowers segments of the race.
with reaction time though, the first 10 meters was 2.036 seconds. So 1 second would been around 5 meters idk. |
|
By:
tbh i'm just repeating something i read. it came as a surprise to me too.
|
|
By:
^ Is that with a human onboard ?
|
|
By:
get video on youtube and stop it when clock says 1.00???
wouldn't advise this, watch the 9.58 vid on youtube and stop even just past the finish line after slowing the vid down 0.25 per second, it gives you a time of 9.4  |

it was a book about why **** sapiens kicked all the other homos out. they could outrun them & throw stuff basically.

By:
really you can't write h0mo even in the scientific sense. PC gone mad

By:
the americans used to have long distance races round tracks in the days of dance hall marathons.
drawing large paying crowds. see who could run furthest in a week or 10 days sort of stuff, i dont think there was much between a man and a horse, nowerdays they race horses over 75-100 miles a day in enduro stuff horses get plenty of rests though, but they are carrying a mans weight not sure how far a horse would run without a jockeys urgings |
|
By:
humans will outlast a horse. my book says so......... must be true
 |
|
By:
i think its probably correct having thought about it,!
|
|
By:
carrying a mans weight.....don't jockey's normally weigh 8-9 Stone ? probably the same weight as a 12-13 year old?
|
|
By:
horses are much quicker but as we know from racing can't keep up a gallop for much more than 4 miles. 4m 4f is the grand national and most of them don't finnish.
mind you they do have to jump stuff too camels can go for miles but not quickly. |
|
By:
enduro races have a minimum weight of around 12 stones
|
|
By:
(for jockeys)

There is no way on this Earth that a human being can run for longer than a deerhound.
|
|
By:
when did a deerhound last win a marathon?
|
|
By:
Never feed a deerhound chocolate northanlite, it's poisonous to dogs.
|
|
By:
ahhhhhhh. i was about to post that that went over my head then the penny dropped. terrible joke tho.
i used to have a Lab, greediest dogs ever. She got into a big box of milk tray and devoured the lot. No harm, not even the runs. Shows how much actual chocolate is in that. |

The procedure is not to spear the antelope, such as a kudu, from a distance, but to run it down in the midday heat, for about two to five hours over 25 to 35 km (16 to 22 mi) in temperatures of about 40 to 42 °C (104 to 108 °F). The hunter chases the kudu, which then runs away out of sight. By tracking it down at a fast running pace the hunter catches up with it before it has had enough time to rest in the shade. The animal is repeatedly chased and tracked down until it is too exhausted to continue running. The hunter then kills it at close range with a spear.

By:
West Africans were built for speed over a short distance ie they had to get close before
throwing a spear at what was being hunted.Hence their descendents are pretty darn good at winning Olympic sprinting medals. |
|
By:
wrong. what is the point in sprinting after animals that a re quicker than you? dave knows
|
|
By:
yeah I doubt that is right, I heard the other day that usain is slower that every decent sized african animal.
|
|
By:
Dave is talking about East Africans which is why they are so good at Marathons
and would be hopeless at sprints. |
|
By:
Sica we are the slowest thing out there. There is not a chance that speed is a major factor compared to our cunning.
Also in daytime almost every animal is scared of humans, even a pride of lions. They will generally run away as soon as they see us. |
|
By:
Much simpler to tell me why West Africans are sprinters and East Africans are long distance runners.
|
|
By:
fast twitch fibres = west africa
slow twitch fibres = east africa nothing to do with this wearing down animals nonsense |
|
By:
maybe west africans became quick to run away from stuff
east africans had to keep running further odd that so many footballers are of west african decent when you would think the stamina from east africans would make them decent too, of course size also comes into play there |
|
By:
humans are very slow. a rabbit can out run us over a short distance but we would catch the fekker over 15 miles
|
|
By:
I looked through the list of African athletics medal winners, there doesn't seem to be any evidence for the assertion.
|
|
By:
if it can run 15 miles its escaped me !
|
|
By:
i dunno why i picked 15, if it can't run down a hole you will catch it within 2
|
|
By:
they have no stamina those useless mammals. reptiles are worse, unevolved fek wits.
birds are different. i respect flight of any kind |
|
By:
Kenya finished 2nd in the Atletics medal table at the Rio Olympics, Ethiopia finished 9th, they've improved immensely in that area though some believe this is down to lax drug testing in that region.

kenya (east africa) has featured in the medal table for years. They won the 400m relay in 1968
