Yeah, you re-arranged it wrong.
v2 = c2[1-(t02/t2)]
v2 = c2[1-(t02/t2)]
This is a sprinting question. When you are sprinting you can only keep up that maximium intensity and speed for a short, fast burst only in the 10s of metres. Now if we push ourselves to the maximium limit and try to maintain the maximium potential intensity of your body constantly - when would the body stop? In fact, would it? Discounting the mental and physical factors of pain and discomfort - surely you can go quite a while before something stops you? I know if you overrun you start throwing up - i'm talking beyond that level! What does your body do too to stop you?
I've been looking into creating a magnetic generator using neodymium permanent magnets, and have been getting many sites claiming that they work, other saying that they're impossible, and some youtube videos that seem to work.
@Quackers, I think the metabolic issues are actually in the central nervous system as the brain signals it needs oxygen across the the blood-brain barrier (which depends upon aerobic activity from what I've read) and glucose (which there is competition for between the muscles and brain once the stored carbohydrate in the muscle is exhausted).
So if we got Usain Bolt and studded him out to the fastest woman (whoever won the 100m, i forgot who it was) how likely is it we would get a world record 100m breaker in either sexes?

Given the stories of life in the Olympic village, you may not have to wait too long to find out. And I'd guess that Usain's not traveling to badly when it comes to wooing the ladies.

The genes relating to the energy centres of cells (mitochondria) are inherited from the mother, if I recall correctly.
I don't think the mitochondria enhance speed. There's nothing special about Usain Bolt's ability to convert glucose into ATP.
I don't think lactic acid will matter in a short sprint. It's only 100m.
Its about the your muscle fibres. Some people have more "fast twitch muscles" then others, particularly if your of west african extraction.
