So, how fast does a human run? Let’s check it out! What Is The Average Human Running Speed? Note that speed refers to miles per hour or kilometers per hour, whereas “pace“ refers to the amount of time it takes to run a mile or a kilometer at that particular speed. Given the ...
But some of those people can’t even meet the basic standard of, what I’d call, being a decent human being. And I guess that might mean different things to different people, but I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect each other to be capable of respecting, and not purposely viol...
Let's have fun with this. Which animals from "around these parts" could the average human outrun should they need to in a dire situation? First, we must establish how fast humans run. A quick search reveals that the fastest speed a human has ever reached was27.5 miles per hour. That ...
Suppose someone drives their vehicle at 50 mph for an hour. This is a rate of change. For every one hour driven, the distance the vehicle has traveled increases by 50 miles. How do you determine average rate of change? To determine the average rate of change of a function, identify the...
What is the average weight of a human being? How much horsepower is in a rocket engine? What is the high temperature reservoir in a combustion engine? What is a hectare liter? What is the metric unit of heat? What is the most efficient combustion engine? What does one inch of rain mea...
While tools to study the reward system in the human brain are still relatively new technology, a March 2014 study in Neurochemical Research found that the receptors that help regulate the reward system were altered in rats that were fed high-sugar diets, which may explain the addictive-...
The velocity of an object is the rate at which one object displaces in a certain unit of time and refers to the velocity of an object in a specific instant. For example, a driver looks at their speedometer and sees 55 mph, which means that at their current pace they would move 55 mi...
If that were not enough, it does so at speeds of over 500MPH. Just like highway mileage for a car, air resistance increases with the square of the speed, so going 500mph, even in something as aerodynamic as a plane, comes with ahugeadded energy cost. ...
By mid decade the public’s desire will be the bicycle, electric or the usual human powered one. Only those will be driving cars who had the foresight to prepare for the greater depression. The average person will not be able to afford one. Trin...
To compare (1) versus our intuition, consider batted balls with exit velocities 𝑥1=20x1=20 mph and 𝑥1=120x1=120 mph. The fitted probabilities of a hit are 0.0230.023 and 0.5410.541, respectively. As is reasonable, the ball which is hit harder has the greater probability of a hit...
