What? IDK, I didn't look through the links. Obviously if you look at their instantaneously velocity for each second it will be different. However, if I so chose I could run faster at the beginning of the race than the end. And if you averaged the instanteous velocities of 40m runs then they should be very close increasing slightly towards the end. Or so one would assume. I'm sure the link says the exact opposite, but to be honest, I don't care.

Xanthos, what's the answer to that problem anyhow?

Did he say 139? That was a typo, he meant 39.

I've now given you a half hour to answer the "6 seconds in air" problem. Do you have an answer?

the link shows that if the person is going at 1metre every .086 seconds add that to the 4.23

Edit: with 3.5 metres to go

I am so tired of hearing about this link. Do your own math, pal. And did that site take into account that the runner "speeds up at the end?"

not possible if he's at full go all the way. he could trip too but thats not how math problems go

There are no highschool students running valid 4.32 40's so the answer is never.

You obviously couldn't answer my problem either.

Here are the answers

Velocity = 29.4 m/s
Height = 44.1 m
Velocity before hitting the ground = -29.4 m/s

Adding those answers also gives you maverick's IQ.

You don't think that the people at the Nike training camp have a vested interest in having fast time run there?

I wasnt trying to get into all this i just think rugby sucks.
i wasnt trying to prove how smart i was XANTHOS was the one who stated all these "tests" your right about the gravity problem but your wrong about the problem with the speed you still have not answered my question.BTW the ansewer is yes he will slow down/speed up if the person is changing speed at the rate the link said then the answer is 4.551
if not then and only then is it 4.64.
