To be an Olympic champion, athletes spend years perfecting every aspect of their performance. That same attention to detail goes into the sleek, lightweight uniforms they wear, as even the tiniest advantages can impact outcomes.
In the Paris Olympics, athletes like Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson rocked high-fashion hair and flashy accessories, raising questions about the impact of extra weight on performance. Details like jewelry and hair could potentially influence finishing times.
While the physics of running is complex, a basic model can estimate performance differences. Sprinters initially accelerate and then reach a constant speed. Understanding forces and acceleration during this process is crucial, linking back to Newton's second law.
