Question #249379

how to measure the maximum kinetic energy of someone sprinting 100 metres?


Expert's answer

The maximum kinetic energy is


Kmax=12mvmax2.K_\text{max}=\frac12mv^2_\text{max}.

As we see from the equation, the kinetic energy is maximum when the speed is maximum. So, you need to know the maximum speed of the sprinter during the 100 m.
