What is the average speed of 1000 meters ran in 13 seconds?

Answer 1

When you run 1000 metres, you don't go at the same speed all the way. However, if you know the distance you ran and the time it took, then you can find the speed you would have had to go at if you had gone at the same speed all the way. That is called the average speed.

The average speed in kilometers per hour is the distance in kilometers divided by the time in hours.

1000 m divided by 13 s =76.9231 m/s

76.9231 m/s multiplied by 60 seconds/minute = 4615.3846 meters/minute

4615.3846 meters/minute multiplied by 60 minutes/hour = 276,923.08 meters/hour

276,923.08 meters/hour divided by 1000 meters/kilometer = 276.923 kilometers/hour

276.923 kilometers/hour divided by 1.6 kilometers/mile = 173.08 miles/hour

To answer the question of 100 meters run in 13 seconds, which is a bit more feasible for running, divide all the answers by 10, which is the same as moving the decimal point 1 digit to the left, as in 17.31 miles per hour.
