How fast could a human sized spider crawl?
So there was a spider in my house (very common in the summer) and I noticed he moved about .35 m/s. It was only 1.5 cm long. So I wondered, how fast could that son of a beach go if he were the size of a human. Any ideas?

Given your numbers, and assuming that its speed increase with size is linear. if the spider was the size of an average human ( 2 meters ) it could move at 46.66 m/sec which makes sense because all of its muscles would be getting larger as well. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE [Edited on 06.23.2012 12:50 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] evilcam Not very fast actually. Their bodies work because they're not very heavy. If they were as big as a human, that extra mass would either slow them down considerably, or their bodies would have to work differently.[/quote] That makes sense.

I'm pretty certain that it would be unable to move or find it very difficult to do so because the weight of it's exoskeleton.

Well, it would depend on how long/tall it's.

Ants if human sized would run faster than highway speeds of our cars. Spiders are even faster.

Faster then us probably.
-
My guess is really fast.
-
Not fast enough to avoid my wrath.

About as fast as I'd crap my pants if I saw it crawling towards me.
