Chart is based on formula: Y mi/hr = 60ft * (1mi/5280ft) * (3600sec/hr) * (1/Xsec) = (40.909 / X) mi/hr where Y = average ball speed (mi/hr) and X = travel time (sec) Technical note: most SVG code was automatically generated by the "Line charts" spreadsheet linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG. Minor additions and adjustments were made ...
It is mainly a men's event, though women's weight throw for distance is contested at university level. [33] The height event proceeds in a manner similar to the high jump and pole vault, with throwers required to clear a bar progressively raised. The Irish records are: [34] height: 4.94 m (Sean Breathnach, 2022) [35] distance: 9.16 m (John ...
This rule was not applied retroactively, [7] and has, thus far, only affected the men's and women's pole vault, women's 2,000 m and women's triple jump. The women's vault record has been advanced 9 times indoors by three different women, each ratified as a world record. The last record to be set indoors was in 2004.
The two primary forms are throwing for distance and throwing at a given target or range. The four most prominent throwing for distance sports are in track and field: shot put, discus, javelin, and the hammer throw. Target-based sports have two main genres: bowling and darts, each of which have a great number of variations.
The notch may be a hole completely through the bar or just a depression in it. The ball is pulled out of the notch by gravity when the device is slowly raised to an angle of about 20°, rolling onto the green at a repeatable velocity of 6.00 ft/s (1.83 m/s). [6] The distance travelled by the ball in feet is the 'speed' of the putting green. Six ...
It consists of a metal ball attached by a steel wire to a grip. These three components are each separate and can move independently. Both the size and weight of the ball vary between men's and women's events. The women's hammer weighs 4 kilograms (8.8 lb) for college and professional meets while the men's hammer weighs 7.26 kilograms (16.0 lb). [1]
The shot put is a track and field event involving "putting" (throwing) a heavy spherical ball—the shot—as far as possible. For men, the sport has been a part of the modern Olympics since their revival (1896), and women's competition began in 1948.
One-cushion billiards is a carom billiards discipline generally played on a cloth-covered, 10-by-5-foot (3.0 m × 1.5 m), pocketless billiard table with two cue balls and a third red-colored ball. [1] In a one-cushion shot, the cue ball caroms off both object balls with at least one rail being struck before the hit on the second object ball ...
