The Saharan silver ants are the fastest ants in the world, they can go up to 100 bps (human sized thatâs over 330 mph!) So ants are pretty fast. But here is a much faster little critter; the Paratarsotomus macropalpis (a small mite) can run a whopping 322 bps. As a human if we could run that it would be 1,300 mph!! Be glad we are big and they are not!
We can tell that the ant has a velocity of zero from t = 3 to t = 6, because the slope of the line at these points is zero. We can also tell that the ant is cruising along at the fastest speed between t = 2 and t = 3, because the position vs. time graph is steepest between these points.
