Leg length will determine your maximum walking speed. This was analyzed in an article in Scientific American about 7 years ago. To go any faster than this, any organism must become airborn (run).
Sorry, but I do not remember the exact reference.
It would make for a longer stride but that doesn't necessarily translate into speed. A humans leg is roughly the same length from hip to knee and knee to ankle meaning that no matter how long the leg this ratio will be constant. To run faster our knees would need to be higher on our legs allowing us to have a larger stride for a smaller movement like a horse. Or our ankles would need to be redesigned to be more like an ostrich's or a cat's this would allow for more "spring" as we ran.
Having long legs may mean greater stride length but it does not necessarily translate to significantly faster walking speed. For example, both a tall and short man possess the same leg speed but the taller guy has longer strides. The tall guy on the other hand has to sacrifice stride length if he wants to go the same speed as the short man because if his strides are too long, he covers distance faster.
no the height of your tibular fossa is probably the only thing that could affect it. there have actually been high jumpers without legs so im sure any length will do
The average length of the lower leg of a human being varies greatly depending on ethnicity and sex. On average, the lower leg is about 13 to about 21 inches in length.
yes, dehydration can affect the veins in your leg. In fact, in can cause deep vein thrombosis or other conditions.
Temperature and ph level.
For females, the most attractive length is 1.4 times the length of the upper body, the average is slightly lower. For males, the most attractive length is equal legs and torso length, but the average is higher.
leg length doesn't really matter because many of my friends are really tall and im really short, and i run faster than them :)
no
A triangle is a rigid structure and the length of any of its sides makes no difference to its geometric rigidity. However, the longer the leg of any shape is, the more likely it is to buckle under strain. In that respect, the length of the leg will affect its strength.
No....
Leg power certainly affects the speed of an athlete. The strength generated by pushing against the ground usually increases speed.
the maximum speed an animal can walk in feet per second is s = 5.7 to the power of l where l is the animals leg length in feet what is the maximum walking speed for a camel with a leg length o 5.7 feet?
Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."
# it is almost 2000-3000 # it also somtimes is 500000 #
The other leg length is 16.
The length of the day would change if either the rotational speed of the the planet or the orbital distance from the sun changed. However, if you mean what factors affect the length of daylight, then that is different.
The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4ftmore than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.
It depends on whether the leg of length 19 is the hypotenuse or not. If it is then the length of the other leg = sqrt(192 - 122) = sqrt(217) = 14.731 units If not, then the length of the other leg (which is the hypotenuse) = sqrt(192 + 122) = sqrt(505) = 22.472 units.
