humans can withstand any amounts of speed however its the rate of acceleration to that speed that can cause damage to the human body, try and imagine it like this.... when your on a plane you are traveling very fast (I'm not sure how fast) but your body is also traveling at the same rate and so are your organs. however if you quickly got up to the same speed of the plane in a matter of seconds then your organs and your body will have accelerated too fast and you will be crushed so your question is 'what is the average acceleration a human can withstand' well trained astronauts can reach crazy G's of up to 40g's which is 40,000 m/s/s but us untrained humans can usually withstand 17g's without dieing or passing out hope this helps :) im Sarah illusac and 11 years old and i hope to be a rocket scientist one day :)

What is the maximum speed a human can survive?
It is actually not speed that would be fatal for a human. The acceleration and the amount of "g" force exerted would be the cause of a person's death. I human being can withstand about 4-6 G forces.
How fast does a human being go up to for speed?
Nobody knows, but the average speed i believe is 10mph
How can a human travel at the speed of light?
Assuming that it is indeed possible for a sole entity apart from light to travel at the speed of light, it would require an acceleration no greater then the maximum g-force a human can withstand. That being said, the average human can withstand safely a g-force of about 3G. A trained human can withstand a g-force of about 6G per se. So assuming this particular human is to travel at light speed, they would still need to maintain regular cycles such as eating, drinking and so on. That being said no more then 3G is realistic. After doing calculations, using t = (V2 - V1)/a, plugging cin for v2, 0 in for v1, and 3G in for a, we find the time required to reach light speed is approximately 31 years. So to now answer the question, a human could travel at light speed by spending 31 years at an acceleration of 3G. Take into account however, that time will slow down for the person approaching the speed of light. If he was able to reach the speed of light it is theorized that time would stop all together.
What is the average speed human running?
14mph
What is the average kicking speed of a human?
69m/s
What is the speed of human being in their body?
70mph
What is the average speed of a gorilla?
Speed is more than human , brachiation is much faster .
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
What is the average human speed?
2-5 miles an hour
What is the average speed a human runs?
2000000000000000000 mph
What is the maxim speed of a human?
Usain Bolt holds the world record for the 100m sprint. He did this in 9.69 seconds, which gives an average speed of 23.08mph (10.32m/s). As this is an average speed the maximum speed will be a bit higher than this. so to answer your question the maximum speed of a human is about 25mph
What is the fastest speed that the average human can run at?
About 10 metres per second
