  • Fastest Swimming versus fastest Running a difference of about 1 to 5. C

    From Archimedes Plutonium@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 31 00:46:16 2023
    So world records in 100 meter running
    Usain Bolt 9.6 seconds
    Elaine Thompson-Herah 10.6 seconds

    World records in 100 meter swimming
    David Popovici 46.86 seconds
    Sarah Sjostrom 51.71 seconds

    Now in air, running is about 5 times faster than swimming in water.

    Now air is mostly N2 and O2

    Water is actually H4O, not H2O.

    By atomic mass units air is 14+14 = 28 or 16+16= 32, while water as H4O is 20 and H2O is 18.

    Is the data favorable for water being H4O rather than H2O ??

    At this moment I believe too much opaqueness, too much fog to determine if H4O rather than H2O. For the difference of 20/18 = 11% difference.

    Fastest Swimming versus fastest Running a difference of about 1 to 5. Can it tell if water is really H4O instead of H2O? I believe not.

    What I need is come kind of physics or chemistry concept that would tell me the density of air versus water. Taking running versus swimming as equal in muscle power driving force, although that is a bad assumption considering running does not use arms
    and hands while swimming uses both legs+feet and arms+hands.

    So is there a physics concept that makes air be 1/5 the density of water??

    Now there is something called the proton g-factor and is about 5.5

    The g-factor relates the magnetic moment and the angular momentum of an atom

    We can say that water is about a g-factor of 5.5 versus air.

    This would land us in a ball-park figure of roughly the outcomes of athletes in swimming versus running, due to different mediums of activity.

    Add this to my 250th book TEACHING TRUE CHEMISTRY.

    In some sense running is a rotor motor, how fast and how often you can throw your legs in front of you. Same for swimming only up and down rotor motion.

    The above is not going to be able to differentiate on whether water is really H4O instead of H2O.

    And the experiment that will differentiate is the simple electrolysis of water with a careful weighing of the atomic mass units in the hydrogen test tube versus the oxygen test tube. If the hydrogen is 1/4 the a.m.u. of oxygen, then H4O is water, if 1/8,
    then H2O is water.
