Before adde text I did some more research into each of my animation ideas to find out exactly how far and how fast each of them could move in 5 seconds. I decided to show how far in meters or miles each could go, to show the speed and shock or ‘wow’ the audience.
Bobsleigh
Bobsleighs can attain speeds of 150 km/h (93 mph), with the reported world record being 201 km/h (125 mph).
125/60=2.08
2.08/6=0.35 miles in 10 seconds,
The world record for the highest speed ever recorded for a bobsleigh in a legitimate competition was made by the 4 men Latvian bobsleigh team at the Bob & Skeleton World Cup, the bobsleigh reached a speed of 153 km/h (95,06 m/h).
Racing down a narrow, twisting, ice tracks
4 Latvian men attained a speed of 125mph
thats 0.35 miles in 10 seconds
Skydive
The highest speed ever reached in a speed skydiving competition is 601.26 km/h (373.6 mph) by Henrik Raimer (Sweden) in the FAI World Championships in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
373/60=6.22
6.22/6=1.01 miles in 10 seconds
jumping from 18,000 feet
Henrik Raimer reached a speed of 373mph
thats 1 mile every 10 seconds
Rocket
Apollo 10. On their way back from a lap around the Moon in 1969, the astronauts’ capsule hit a peak of 24,790mph.
24,790/60=413.15
413.15/6=68.9 miles in 10 seconds
on the way back from the moon
the Apollo 10 spacecraft hit a peak of 24,790mph
thats 68.9 miles in 10 seconds
Swimming
The fastest speed reached by a human in swimming is 2.29 m/s. This record was set by Tom Jager in a 50 meter race, Â on March 24, 1990
2.29×10=22.9meters in 10 seconds
in a 50 meter race Tom Jager swam at 2.29m/s
using only shear strength and skill
thats 22.9 meters in 10 seconds
Cycling
On land, the speed record is 133.28 km/h (82.82 mph), set by the Canadian Sam Whittingham riding the Varna Tempest, a streamliner recumbent bicycle in 2009. at Battle Mountain, Nevada.
82.82mph=37m/s
37m/sx10=370m in 10 seconds
Sam Whittingham registered a speed of 82.82mph
using only the power of his legs and a bicycle
thats 310 meters in 10 seconds
