SortStack #3151 — 2035-01-24

By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A crawling slug 30 m/h

   A slug glides on a ribbon of self-made slime, which lets it cross even a razor's edge unharmed.

2. A car cruising the German autobahn 200 km/h

   Parts of Germany's autobahn have no speed limit, where ordinary sedans legally travel faster than racetracks allow elsewhere.

3. A Category 5 hurricane's winds 300 km/h

   A single mature hurricane can release more energy in a day than the world uses in electricity all year.

4. A Formula 1 car at top speed 372 km/h

   An F1 car generates so much downforce it could, in theory, drive upside down on a ceiling at speed.

5. A 5.56mm rifle bullet 3.1K km/h

   Small, fast rifle rounds tumble on impact, transferring energy in ways a slower, heavier bullet would not.

6. A tank's sabot round 5.8K km/h

   A sabot round sheds a casing in flight, leaving a slim dart of dense metal that punches through armour.
