The World Record is 5.56seconds held by Donovan Bailey of Canada. He ran this in 1996.
40 meter sprint
No. It is not just to run 40 meters. A 40 meter sprint is the main thing that colleges use to recruit people on their fastness. An average is 4.6 seconds. Basically, all football players run this, trying to sprint as fast as they can and get a time under 4.60. 4.3 seconds is world class speed.

It doesn't. The 40 yard time is simply a mark in which a sprinter is suppose to reach top speed, and can't accelerate any more. If properly trained, they should retain that top speed for the duration of the 100 meter dash. Carl Lewis basically said when he broke the world record, was that he decelerated less than every one else...thats why he wins. Also, in the 100 meter dash there is very little room for error to comeback. Leroy Burrell proved, that even with a bad start, you can make a come back to break a world record. However, in the 40 yard dash there is no room for error. In my opinion, the 40 yard dash is for football players and the 100 and 200 meter dashes are for track and field athletes. And if you really want to step it up, the 400 meter run...which is also a sprint.
4.09 seconds
It's very unlikely; Asafa Powell - the world record holder for 100m was recorded as going at nearly 30mph very briefly (for 1 metre) during a sprint.
THe world record for fastest texting is 140 characters in 40 seconds
Everybody knows that... 40 days and 40 nights!
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! 40 centimeters is 40% of a meter. Just imagine a meter as a big friendly giant, and 40 centimeters as a small but important part of it. Just like every little tree and bush has its place in a beautiful painting, every measurement has its own special role to play.

The average time for a 200 meter sprint race depends on the age of the runner. But, the average time is from 30 seconds to about 40 seconds to run this distance.
