How many feet can a person run in a second?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

1 second of latitude corresponds to about 101.25 feet in a north or south direction on the surface of the Earth.

Answer 5

Not sure if you mean how many feet long is the average foot? Please clarify.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

50 mph = 73.3 feet per second.

Answer 8

you cant measure time within distance...
