You nose out a runner to win the 100 meter dash. If your total time was 11.8 seconds and you won by .001 seconds, by how many meters did you win?
Help! Thanks!

When someone "noses out" a runner in the 100 meter dash, it means that they have finished the race just slightly ahead of the other runner. This could be by a fraction of a second or even a few inches.
The total time for the 100 meter dash is calculated by adding together the time it takes for a runner to reach the finish line from the starting line, as well as any time penalties or bonuses that may have been given during the race.
There are many factors that can affect a runner's time in the 100 meter dash, including their physical fitness, running technique, weather conditions, and even the type of track they are running on. Small differences in any of these factors can impact a runner's overall time.
To measure a runner's speed in the 100 meter dash, scientists use high-speed cameras and timing systems that can accurately capture and record the runner's movement. They then analyze this data to determine the runner's speed at different points during the race.
While there is no scientific evidence to suggest that a person's nose shape directly affects their performance in the 100 meter dash, having a narrower nose may potentially reduce air resistance and improve a runner's speed. However, other factors such as training, technique, and genetics play a much larger role in a runner's performance.
