How Does the Wind Affect Road-Running Achievement?

de Villiers, Michael D.

Physics Teacher, v29 n5 p286-89 May 1991

Presents a simple mathematical model in which resultant speed is the sum or difference between wind speed and runner speed and a more complex model that assumes that only a proportion of the wind's speed affects one's running speed to describe the time difference between running with and without wind.
