Your average speed was
(100 m) / (13.8 s) = 7.25 m/s .
If you finished 0.001s ahead of him, then at your average speed, that corresponds to
(7.25 m/s) x (0.001 s) = 0.00725 m
That's 7.25 millimeters ... about 0.28 of an inch !
NOTE:. I think this is only valid if your speed was a constant ~7.25 m/s all the way.
It will cause heat from friction
<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
</h2>
The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.
Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.
It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the aviation era.
Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?
Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.
So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
