Assuming that Superman has unlimited strength and superfast legs, what would be his maximum running speed with a pair of regular Nike's. I assume that there would have to be a maximum because there is only so much friction between his shoes and the ground, and if he pushed too fast, inertia would have him fall flat to the ground. Also, as a person runs faster, they have to hop higher and higher off the ground and they can only fall so fast back to the ground. There has to be a delay between each step. Any rudimentary guesses would be appreciated, and show equations and stuff if you have them. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- : Come play Realms of Despair! telnet://realms.game.org:4000 : --------------------------------------------------------------
