It depends. Simply wearing track spikes is not enough to make you a good runner. Conversely, it's possible to run a very fast time in ordinary sneakers. Racing spikes are just shoes designed specifically to wear when racing, they are a lot lighter than ordinary trainers but have less support. Personally, I've found wearing track spikes can have as much of a psychological boost as a physical boost (since you're wearing lighter racing shoes you feel faster). If you're serious about racing you should probably get a pair of spikes but if you're just running the PE mile you can do all right in normal sneakers.
Compared to flat shoes spikes will reduce the time in a 100m by approximately 2-3%. Therefore if you run 12 seconds in flat shoes you could run around 11.6-11.8s.

What do Spikes do to make you run faster?
it helps you very well because when you are running you are tyring to stay ahead of everybody so you will win so while you run the spikes grab more ground as you run so you can keep a good pace. Also when the track is wet you can't holly run on the track because the ground is to slippery so the track spikes will help you through wet weather.
Can you use regular track shoes with javelin spikes?
No, I do not recommend using regular track shoes to throw the javelin. Javelin spikes have spikes in the heel as well as the front, so you can plant your block leg without slipping. Generally speaking javelin spike shoes are a heavier shoe. This allows for the much longer spikes. However, some athletes do wear there "regular" spike shoes and purchase a "jav heel" to add the extra much needed spikes in the heels.

Since you are standing on concrete and no running is involved, I would highly recommend NOT doing it. It ruins your spikes and your technique, not to mention the sound the spikes make. There are throwing shoes designed specifically for different techniques, they usually have thick rubber and curved sides on the bottom for smoother throwing.

Is angular velocity the same as tangential velocity?
No. If you can drive around a ten-mile track in the same time it takes you to drive around a one-mile track, then your angular velocity is the same in both cases. But in order to do that, you'll need much higher tangential velocity during the longer run. Tangential velocity is what you'd normally call your 'speed' as you blaze around the track.
