Thletics World Records (Speed) Investigation Athletic Records Investigation You have been asked to investigate the speeds of various athletic event record holders, and the 100m/100yard sprint record speeds since records began. Your first task is to investigate the average speed in a variety of athletic event world records. To do this you will need to convert the times into seconds and then work out the speed in metres per second (m/s). Distance Time Name Speed (m/s) Speed (mph) 100m 9.58s Usain Bolt 200m 19.19s Usain Bolt 400m 43.18s Michael Johnson 800m 1m 41.01s David Rudisha 1,500m 3m 26.00s Hicham El Guerrouj 3,000m 7m 20.67s Hicham El Guerrouj 10,000m 26m 17.53s Kenenisa Bekele Marathon (42km) 2h 3m 38s Patrick Musyoki 110m hurdles 12.87s Dayron Robles 4x100m 37.04s Nesta Carter Relay Michael Frater Yohan Blake Usain Bolt Next step, you need to convert m/s into miles per hour (mph). Use the fact that 1m/s = 2.24 mph to complete the final column. Construct a scatter graph of the speed against the distance for the events below: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m. Estimate the speed for the following distances: 500m = ____________ 1000m = ____________ 1200m = ____________ What distance would you run at a speed of 8.5 m/s? __________m fmaths Athletic Records Investigation 1) Describe the relationship between the event distance and the average speed. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 2) Why would Usain Bolt’s 100m and 200m record speeds be similar? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 3) Why might the longer distance records be ran at similar speeds? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 4) Why is the 4x100m relay speed faster than the 400m record speed even though the distance is identical? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 5) Why is the 110m hurdle speed slower than the 400m speed? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ Extension: Why would you not include the relay or hurdle speeds? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ fmaths Athletic Records Investigation Before investigating the speeds of the 100m world record times, you need to construct a scatter graph of the times against the year they were ran. Your next task is to investigate the average speed of the 100m world record holders since records began, beginning with hand timed records. Time (s) Name Year Speed (m/s) Speed (mph) 10.8 Luther Cary 1891 10.7 Frank Jarvis 1900 10.6 Knut Lindberg 1906 10.5 Emil Ketterer 1911 10.4 Charlie Paddock 1921 10.3 Percy Williams 1930 10.2 Jesse Owens 1936 10.1 Leamon King 1956 10.0 Bob Hayes 1964 Next, continue for the electronically timed records. Time (s) Name Date Speed (m/s) Speed (mph) 9.95 Jim Hines 1968 9.93 Calvin Smith 1983 9.92 Carl Lewis 1988 9.90 Leroy Burrell 1991 9.86 Carl Lewis 1991 9.85 Leroy Burrell 1994 9.84 Donovan Bailey 1996 9.79 Maurice Greene 1999 9.77 Asafa Powell 2005 9.74 Asafa Powell 2007 9.69 Usain Bolt 2008 9.58 Usain Bolt 2009 fmaths Athletic Records Investigation 6) What factors might influence the falling record times? Are modern athletes simply better, or are there other influences on humans being able to run quicker? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7) Why might the speeds for the hand timed records be unreliable? How confident can you be of the accuracy of the times and speeds? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ Describe how the speed of the sprinter develops over a 100m sprint, from the starters gun to the finishing line. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What do you think is the maximum speed the sprinter at the end of the race? __________________________________________________________________________ fmaths Athletic Records Investigation Extension: you need to go back further to when the 100yard sprint was ran, by first converting 100yards into metres. If 1 inch = 2.54cm, 1 yard = 36 inches and 1m = 100cm, calculate how many metres is equivalent to 100m. Once you have found this, calculate the speed in m/s and mph of each record. Time (s) Name Year Speed (m/s) Speed (mph) 10.5 F. C. Saportas 1870 10.0 W. C. Wilmer 1878 9.8 J. Owen. Jr 1890 9.6 D. J. Kelly 1906 9.4 Frank Wykoff 1930 9.1 Bob Hayes 1964 9.07 Asafa Powell 2010 Compare Asafa Powell’s speed in the 100yard sprint and the 100m sprint. Why might his 100m time be faster? ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ fmaths .

  • Amid Gold Medals, Raised Black Fists Jeremy Larner and David Wolf Life Magazine November 1, 1968
    Amid Gold Medals, Raised Black Fists Jeremy Larner and David Wolf Life magazine November 1, 1968 When you stop to think about it, the small group of black track stars who organized the “Olympic Project for Human Rights” have got quite a lot done in less than a year. Led by Harry Edwards, a professor at San Jose State, they helped keep South Africa out of the Games. They humbled the prestigious New York Athletic club by publicizing its discriminatory membership policies and persuading an impressive number of top athletes to bypass the club’s famed annual meet. And they’ve ignited a lasting racial consciousness among the previously uncommitted black American college athletes. The most prominent spokesmen of the original group were Tommie Smith, Lee Evans and John Carlos, all of San Jose State. They are not separatists. They do not believe in violence. They are dedicated to ending what they see as exploitation of black athletes and, in the process, gaining dignity and equality for all black people. By the time this summer’s Olympic trials came around, the goals of the “Olympic Project” had engaged the sympathies of most of the black track men who made the Olympic squad. A clear majority wanted to express their feelings in some way at Mexico City. But they disagreed on methods of protest. All of them—even Smith, Evans and Carlos—are competitors and individualists by nature and political activists only sporadically. They never did get together on a unified course of action for the Games. They didn’t even test the support among their white teammates.

  • Essay Contest 2016/17 Lea Maier, International School Kufstein, 5
    Essay Contest 2016/17 Lea Maier, International School Kufstein, 5. Klasse, 4 Jahre Spracherwerb The fastest immigrant in Canada “Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams”, is Donovan Bailey´s answer to Paul Irish´s question on what he would say to today´s kids on the subject of success. The interview was published in the Toronto Star on November 28th in 2011. Bailey, who immigrated to Canada as a teenager, is not only a successful businessman, he also won two gold medals at the Olympic games in Atlanta in 1996. He retired from his athletic career in 2001. Apart from investing in several business ventures, he founded the Donovan Bailey Fund to help Canada’s amateur athletes (The Famous People, n.d.). I chose to write about Donovan Bailey, the fastest immigrant in Canada, because he was not only a successful athlete, but also a successful businessman before he focused on his athletic career. Donovan Bailey, the son of Daisy and George Bailey, was born on December 16th, 1967 in Manchester, Jamaica. As long as they lived in Jamaica, he used to wake up early in the morning and take care of the family’s pigs, chickens and goats before going to school. After school, he used to play soccer (The Famous People, n.d.). In 1981, when he was 13 years old, his family immigrated to Canada hoping for a better life and he lived with his father and four brothers in Oakville, a suburban town in Ontario.

  • Press Release Chasing Time
    Press release April 2014 Press preview 4 June 2014 Chasing time From 5 June 2014 to 18 January 20152015, The Olympic Museum in Lausanne is hosting a new exhibition entitled Chasing Time ,,, which takes the visitor on a journey through time, as it is experienced in sport, socially, technologically and artistically. It is no coincidence that the Olympic motto starts with “Faster”. Time is one of the essential elements for designating winners and losers and for establishing records. Time, in a sporting context, is measured and quantified, but it also incites enthusiasm and passion. The passage of time is inexorable, but this exhibition aims to show Man’s ingeniousness and the artistic creativity that can lead to the observation and study of time, be it in painting, sculpture, music or cinema. Through inventive scenography by Lorenzo GreppiGreppi, the visitor discovers a route organised around nine themed sectors, which clearly illustrate the changes and evolution of the perception of time throughout history. This scenography observes the evolution of the understanding of time, starting at the natural and cyclical notion of the Ancient Games, passing through the first stages of linear time and clock time, and ending at the production of highly specialised systems for measuring and recording time, thanks to the manufacture of high-precision instruments today. The information is punctuated with sociological and philosophical points of view. Quotes from athletes are presented alongside others from writers, while sporting activity, as it relates to Time, dialogues with the arts. The works on display include chronophotographic images by Marey; Pianola , a work by Mel Brimfield created in 2012 as a tribute to Roger Bannister’s record; and a metaphorical work by Michelangelo Pistoletto entitled The Etruscan on the past, present and future.
