A sprinter's AVERAGE SPEED is calculated by taking the total distance traveled (usually in meters) and dividing that by the total time taken (usually to the nearest 1/100th of a second). Therefore if a sprinter ran the 100 meter dash in 9.69 seconds his AVERAGE SPEED would be 100m / 9.69 seconds or 10.32 meters / second. To convert meters / second to kilometers / hour: multiply meters / second by 3.6. Therefore 10.32 m/s = 37.15 km/hr. To convert km/hr into miles/hr (mph) multiply by .62. Therefore 37.15 km/hr = 23.03 mph. So you see Usain Bolt isn't even fast enough to get a speeding ticket in a 25mph residential neighborhood!

What is useful to calculate an object's average speed when it does not travel?
If it "does not travel", the speed is zero. Not much to calculate there.
Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?
I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.
Why marathon runners make more money than sprinters and how much they make?
because they train harder than sprinters. try to run a marathon then you'll understand why they deserve more money than sprinters.
