What is the fastest a human can run is a queston that has been out there for along time. A lot of people want to know. The fastest anyone has every ran was Usain bolt in 2009, hitting 27.5 miles per hour. A biomechanics reascercher was trying to figure out why it will be so hard to beat that speed, and he said, "that the reason our running speed is limited is because when people are sprinting they are in air for most of there stride." Which is why you skate faster than you run because you're not in the air. Somone like Usain bolt only has is on the ground for about 42 percent of is stride and somthing like a cheata is two thirds its stride time.
Do you think someone will be able to bet Usain blolts top speed?
Yes because pepole will figur out how to run to reduse air time
Why do you think being in the air between strides makes us slower?
Becsue it is drag and it is slowing you down

Yes, I think someone will, we seem to figure out things when we put our mind to it. But it would take time for sure. But also the runners can just do a lot of reserch about air time and ajust and train hard to try and get a higher speed. Because like you said, the drag and it slows you down.
Someone could beat Usain, especially as technology advances and people can invent ways to make people faster. Without technology, there could be someone who beats him just because he's faster. While we're in the air, there's resistance and it slows us down, and there's no contact with the ground to push us forward until we touch the ground again.
I think eventually someone will but it will take a lot of time and effort to beat that time. Air can be flowing twards you and affect your speed it's like walking against a current in a river it slows you down.
No, I dont think Anyone can beat that time just because i'm not quite sure our lungs and bodies would beable to handle that. Air can alomost act liek water, like picture your self in water, you can't move as well. So, when your in the air you can't move as much as you do when you're on the ground.
Yes because as technogly keeps advancing then we could figure out how humans could run faster. Because when you are in the air you aren't really going any where like you are on the ground and there is more air resistance.
Yes, because humans are always trying to top each other. He was extremely fast, but somebody could train the same as him with a better upbringing and easily get better. Also, steroids exist so that's pretty obvious. We slow down while in the air because nothing is accelerating us forward. We have no force, so the only force acting upon our bodies is friction, which can slow us down.
It would be very impressive for someone to beat Usain Bolts' speed. Hes had the fastest run for years. I think people fall behind on their fastest speed because of the stride. Like you said, it can be a drag for some people, making it more difficult for them to reach that momentum.
I think someone can beat the speed because it was a long time ago. So if someone could do it then, they can do it now. I think it takes longer in air because you’re arching instead of going straight ahead on the ground. When your feet touch the ground it's so you can push yourself forward in the air. If we could just run without going into the air, we would be a lot faster.
I do think that someone will eventually run faster than Usain Bolt because people are becoming smarter on ways to run and become faster. Also I think that being in the air between strides slows you down because you can move in the air and you need to be in contact with the ground to run.
In my opinion, I think that over time someone will eventually beat Usain Blots top speed. It might take them a while but I think if someone worked hard and came up with a technique to fight back the air in his or her stride they could do it. they could also reduce their time in air to maintain speed instead of slowing down in air.
