So I guess he would be only two steps behind Julio? For that matter he would only be 3 or 4 steps behind Carl Lewis.


I'm assuming you've never ran the 40 or dont realize the amount of time 2 tenths of a second is.

If i told you to snap your fingers two times in a row as fast as you could, the two snaps would be more that 2 tenths of a second apart.

Assuming that speed is constant. I know that it isn't but it makes the math easier.

A 4.6 40 yard dash would give Ingram a speed of approximately 8.7 yards per second. A 4.82 40 yard dash for Fairley would give him a rate of approximately 8.3 yards per second. So each second Ingram gains .4 yards on Fairley. In the 4.6 seconds that it took Ingram to complete the 40 yard dash, Fairley would cover 38.17 yards. So he would finish 1.83 yards behind Ingram, or 5.61 feet behind Ingram.
