calculate the average speeds of student of your class who have participated in 100 meters and 200 meters running race . write a report
Answers
Answer:
The outdoor 100m sprint has traditionally been considered one of the glamour events in athletics. These races are largely based upon the athlete’s ability to accelerate to his or her maximum speed in the quickest time possible. A race requiring explosive power than endurance, these athletes endure painful amounts of lactic acid that accumulate in their muscles as they power up across the distance.
Runners in the 100m race remain in assigned lanes. Fastest runners are given the middle lanes of a multi-heat event. Unlike the 200m or 400m races, lane placement isn’t as vital as the 100m lane is straight. While a fast start from the block is important for psychological reasons, runners who have been beaten out of their blocks do have time to recover the lost distance.
Often, the world record holder of the 100m is considered the world’s fastest man or woman. The current world record is held by Usain Bolt of Jamaica who famously declared that he ate a 100 chicken McNuggets a day during the 2013 Beijing Olympics. The women’s record is held by the late Florence Griffith Joyner who passed away in 1998.
200m
Each runner’s assigned lanes are staggered in the 200m event to ensure that they run the same distance as they negotiate a curve. Runners try to remain as close to the inside line as possible but without stepping on it as that would be grounds for disqualification. This is known as the ability to “run a good bend”.
Unlike the 100m race which requires pure explosive power, a 200m runner must maintain this speed and have “speed endurance”. A good 200m runner could run a race at an average speed higher than their 100m speed.
The world record in the 200m event is also held by Usain Bolt, who set the 19.19 second record at the 2009 World Athletics Championships. Likewise, the women’s record is also held by Florence Griffith Joyner.
Answer:
average speed=total distance/time taken
Explanation:
so 100+200/tital time taken for example
my frd teja has took halfjour for 100meters so 200 1hour
therefore,300/120min
15/6
hope this helps
