The average person can run at a speed of about 10-15 feet per second, depending on their fitness level and stride length. Elite sprinters can reach speeds of over 25 feet per second. It's important to note that individual differences in running ability can significantly impact this measurement.

The 'second' referred to is in reference to Degrees Minutes & Seconds Such As:

N 11°22'33" E (example) Where the 33" is the "Seconds".

However in the case listed above, the Degrees, minutes, and Seconds refers to a direction and not a distance. The appropriate answer to the question refers to Latitude and Longitude, where you will express the degrees, minutes, and seconds as a distance rather than a direction and will appear similar to this:

11°22'33" N, 11°22'33" W (example)

Answer in this scenario:

A degree is about 69 miles. Divide that by minutes and find that there is about 1.15 miles in a minute. Divide that by 60 and you will find that there is about .019 miles in a second. Since there are 5280 feet in a mile, multiply .019 by 5280 to get about 101.20 feet in a second.

There are APPROXIMATLEY 101.20 FEET in a second.

It depends on how fast you can run. Here are some examples:

  1. 10 mph = 14.67 feet per second
  2. 15 mph = 22 feet per second
  3. 20 mph = 29.3 feet per second

it depends how fast you are going because if you were walking you would get less feet than if you were to be riding a car.
