Sentence examples for maximum running speed from inspiring English sources
We estimated the maximum running speed of Caudipteryx to be 8 m/s.
At the population level, maximum running speed decreased on inclined compared to level raceways for both species, but the effects of slope varied substantially between individuals.
Ry increases rapidly with speed, reaching 1 N at about 6.7 m/s and 2 N at about 9.5 m/s, which would likely have somewhat exceeded the maximum running speed of a real Caudipteryx.
The model is applied to a broad sample of living mammalian species to test its predictive power, and it is found to provide very good estimates of maximum running speed.
Nevertheless, a Caudipteryx running at 8 m/s (estimated maximum running speed; see Materials and Methods) with wings fully extended would have experienced a total lift force of only ~1.4 N and a total drag force of only ~0.6 N, both very low in comparison to the estimated body weight of 49 N.
The wild mice were actually working hard, too: although the average speed of running was slightly less than for lab mice (1.3 versus 2.3 km/h), the maximum running speed recorded for wild mice was higher than the maximum for lab mice (5.7 versus 5.1 km/h).
This casts significant doubt on maximum running speeds above 12 m/s for the largest non-avian theropods like Tyrannosaurus, based on current simulations.
Total metabolic power would have increased sharply with velocity, but would have been no higher than about 6 J/s even at the maximum estimated running speed of 8 m/s.
For example the HSRCA system (High Speed Rail Corrugation Analyser), a not-in-contact system with Axle-box Accelerometers, is extremely reliable even at relatively high speeds (maximum recommended running speed of 120 km/h) [26].
After the average running speed reached a maximum at the 23rd step, SL, shank-VA, and foot-VP continued to increase (Fig. 4D, Fig. 5H,L).
