Usain Bolt runs at 200 meters in 20.0 seconds. How fast does he run? speed = distance / time

22.369363 mi/h

Explanation:

Average Speed Calculation - suppose we want to calculate Usain Bolt's average speed during his world record winning 100 m sprint race in Berlin on August 16, 2009. What do we know?

We want to calculate Bolt's average speed

The distance was, of course, 100 meters

Bolt ran the distance in 9.58 seconds.

Bolt ran 11.42 yards per second during the race. Setting meters per second, you get 10.44 mp/s; miles per hour - 23.35 mph; kilometers per hour - 37.58 km/h; etc.

Travel Time Calculation - Suppose, you drove 21 miles with an average speed of 45 miles per hour. How long did you drive?

You traveled 28 minutes.

Distance Calculation - Let's calculate, how many miles you can travel, driving 2 hours and 30 minutes with an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

As you can see, the answer is 137.5 miles or 221.28 kilometers or 119.48 nautical miles, etc.

Assume, V - stands for average speed (velocity), T - stands for traveling time, and D - stands for traveled distance.

Average speed can be calculated by using the formula: V = D/T

The traveled distance can be calculated as D = V*T

Traveling time can be calculated using: T = D/V

Using the formulas remember about the units. For example, if the distance is given in meters and the time is given in seconds, the calculated average speed is given in meters per second. To convert it to other units of measurement, you can use our speed converter. If the distance is given in yards and speed is given in miles per hour, to get time in hours, you HAVE TO convert yards to miles or miles per hour to yards per hour first.
