I sprinted 160 yards in 22.6 seconds how fast in mph did I run this distance in.
:
Find your speed in yds/sec
160%2F22.6 = 2.08 yds/sec
:
There are 1760 yds in 1 mi
Find your speed in mph
%282.08%2A3600%29%2F1760 = 14.48 mph
:
Concerning how fast. A man who can run 100 yds in 10 sec is considered very fast, that would be 10 yds/sec. (World record for the 100 yd dash is about 9 sec)
