Bolt’s Dream of a 9.4-Sec 100m is Possible Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt’s dream of completing the 100m in 9.4sec is feasible. His current world record is 9.58 seconds. According to Dutch scientists, “the absolute limit for a world record at the moment is 9.36 sec.” Just for fun I did the math for you. If he can achieve a 9.4 in the 100-meter dash Bolt will have to travel more than 10.6 meters (almost 35 feet) every second. This equals 23.8 miles per hour (38.3 kph). When you drop something it’s only going to travel 9.8 meters (32 feet) in it’s first second. Also, Bolt has to accelerate from a standstill, so at some point he will be traveling faster than 10.6 meters per second to make up for lost time. Get more…
