QUESTIONS
1. Calculate the average horizontal velocity in each of the 10-m intervals of your 40-m sprint (V
=_d/_t). Report your answers in m/s and mph (m/s • 2.237 = mph).

2. Calculate the average velocities for the intervals of Maurice Greene's 100-m sprint. Note that the
times in the table represent the change in time (time to run the interval: _t), not the cumulative time,
as in your 40-m sprint data. Average velocities are usually assigned to the midpoints of the interval
used for the calculation.

meter points.

Meter points Velocity (m/s)


5m 5.3763 m/seg
15 m 9.7087 m/seg
25 m 10.8695 m/seg
35 m 11.3636 m/seg
45 m 11.6279 m/seg
55 m 11.9047 m/seg
65 m 11.7647 m/seg
75 m 11.7647 m/seg
85 m 11.7647 m/seg
95 m 11.6279 m/seg

3. Plot Greene's and your velocities on the following velocity-displacement graph:


4. Give a qualitative description of the general slopes of the Greene velocity graph in question 3 (the
general pattern would be same if this were a true velocity–time graph) that determine the acceleration
phases of maximal sprinting. Where is acceleration the largest and why?

In an athlete in the first 10 meters starts with a speed of between 5 to 9.5 m/s, when it passes 10 and
reaches 20 meters increases speed however not as considerably with time as in the start thus reaching
the 10.9 m/s and finally reaching 40 meters a speed of 11.2 m/s was reached. The maximum
acceleration occurs in the first 10 seconds if we talk in the firsts 40 m and the maximum occurs in the
60 meters because the average velocity was 11.9 m/s.
