How fast would someone need to be to run from New Orleans to Virginia?.

Timeframe

Low Ball: 12 hours

Mid Ball: 6 hours

High Ball: 1 hour

Well, assuming he is running along the quickest interstate route and not plowing through trees, he would need to cover 1513 kilometers, or 1,513,000 meters.

Low Ball: 43200 seconds, 1513000/43200 = 35.023 meters per second. So he is actually keeping pace with the cars, but is not outrunning all of them.

Mid: 35.023*2 = 70.046 meters per second.

High: 35.023*6 = 210.138 meters per second.
