O.K. i was up all night last night doing this soyou better apreciate it!Passage from
xXFunkytoadXx's Character Speed GuidequoteThe first thing we did, was decide on a point of reference, for
distance. As most of you know, in order to figure out speed, you need
the time elapsed, as well as the distance travelled. Time elapsed is
easy to measure, however, distance travelled is a bit harder. For this,
we took Donkey Kong into Final Destination, get a character on his back
(Zelda), and had him walk across the stage. This took 2.5 seconds. We
then went into the Homerun Contest, and figured out how far he could
walk in 2.5 seconds, when he had the sandbag on his back. We did this a
few times, and the average distance of all of our trials was 61 feet.
Therefore, the entire length of Final Destination is 61 feet. From here,
we simply used the formula Velocity=Distance/Time, and came up with some
speeds, in feet per second. In order to get the speed in metres per
second, we simply divided the feet per second speed by 3.2808, the
approximate conversion rate from feet to metres. Then we had each
character run across Final Destination, and recorded the time elapsed,
rounded to the tenths digit. Using the formula, we came up with the
following speeds, in feet per second, and metres per second.
