how fast can the average human run?

For how long or how far? Distance and time makes a difference. I don't think any human being can run 11 mph for, say, an hour, or for 26 miles straight. You have to determine a distance or duration to get an answer.\n\n---\nOh, and that 25-30 number people are posting is for a top human runner, not an average person\n\n>>(Note: The world's fastest human can average 23 miles/hour in the 100 m dash.) \nhttp://www.seaworld.org/just-for-teachers/guides/physics/act-velocity-pre-visit.htm

it all depends on how fast the person wearing them can go.\n\nMe very slow.\n\nYou, probably very fast.

Whomever is the fastest would win..

They ran for 20 mph for 1 minute. In this time, they covered 1/3 of a mile. This means that for the other 9 2/3 miles, they ran at 35 mph.\nThis means their time for that part was 29/105 hours. Add in the 1 minute to get 29/105 + 1/60 to get 41/140 hours as their time. We take 10 divided by this to get their average speed, which is 1400/41 mph, which is approximately 34.14634146 mph.

As far as I have researched, no woman has run a mile under four minutes - yet. There is a source below with the closest, 4 minutes, 12.56 seconds.

Alright this is a good question, but it would depend on ur condition at this time.  An average person should be at least to run a mile in 7-8 mins, thats a person who never usually runs that often.  If you are in good shape and run constantly, it should take 6-5 mins.  O and whoever said 3-4 minutes, im sure that this isnt an olimpic runner we are talkin 2 lol

Sprints between two points as fast as you can run.

Earth's speed changes from time to time.  The average is 29.783 kilometers/second or 107,218 kilometers/hour.

It depends on your frame of reference.  Relative to the Earth, the fastest speed man is capable of is probably 10km/s, that's 1/30000 the speed of light.

The fastest runner as a person or animal or insect?\n\nAustralian tiger beetles, genus Cicindela, subgenus Rivacindela, (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) are the fastest running insects known. The fastest, Cicindela hudsoni, can run 2.5 meters per second (5.6 miles per hour).\n\nThe fastest woman on Earth, and arguably the best female athlete in the world, Marion Jones can outrun just about anyone on the track. But she wasn't able to escape the heartbreak and anger that marred her childhood.\n\nTake a look at the fastest man in the world! On September 14, U.S. runner Tim Montgomery set a new world record in the 100-meter race. Montgomery, 27, outran the old time by one-hundredth of a second.

the top runners in a 5K will finish in  12-15 minutes, but most people will feel good getting a time in the 20-25 minute range.  Nearly anyone can finish in under an hour.\ntop 10K runners finish in under 30 minutes, but most average runners come in around 45-60 minutes.

average person should be able to go 15 min? or longer if yu start and stop a lot?

Humans typically breathe between 12 and 20 times per minute, with children breathing faster than adults. Babies may breathe as much as 40 times per minute. Adults normally breathe about 500-700ml of air at a time. An average 14 year old takes around 30,000 breaths per day.

This is difficult to say for sure.  However, I am a cyclist and use my speedometer regularly.  Typically my speed will be between 12 and 14 mph.  But I probably ride a little faster than most casual cyclists.  On the other hand, racing cyclists fly past me and typically ride at speeds around 20 mph or more.

I think you meant to say that the people were running forward, not in place.  If they were running in place, nothing changes.\n\nOtherwise, assuming that an average person has a mass of 70kg.  That means that all the people have a combined mass of about 70*6.4*10^9 = 448*10^9 kg.  The earths mass is approximately 6*10^24 kg.  That means that all of the peoples mass is only 0.00000000000007466667 of the earths mass.  Using the conservation of angular momentum with:\nm = moment of inertia of people\nM= moment of inertia of earth\nw_1 = angular velocity of earth with people standing still\nw_p = angular velocity of FORWARD running people\nw_e = angular velocity of earth while people are running \n\nw_1*(m+M) = w_e*M + w_p*m\n\nso by the conservation of angular momentum you can see that you would effect the rotation of earth.  However m compared to M is essentially zero, as mentioned before (mass is in a way related to ineria) so setting m = 0, you get:\n\nw_1*(m+M) = w_e*M + w_p*m\nw_1M = w_e*M\nw_1 = w_e\n\nThe effect that this would have is practically none so no you will not change the direction but, yes you do slow the earth down a tiny, tiny, minuscule amount.

about 186,000 miles per second.  With our present technology, it would take hundreds of thousands of years. At the speed of light, it would only take thousands of years.

The time isn't as important as having a good training base and feeling comfortable while you are running. I ran about 6:45 when I was 10 but recently watched a 10 year old break 5 minutes.
