Composite human speed revision

As of now the speed it based on as fast it can get simply by adding the speed of all humans

but thats not how speed works, in normal everyday speeds, in order to even move double as fast as before you need to apply approximately 4 x the previous amount of energy

hence the relation between the AP and the speed is non linear

In this case, if we use a relativistic system, and use 70 kgs as the mass of the human, assume all humans are high end athelte level in AP and use tthe relativistic kinetic energy formula , we get the speed as 2.613787e-3 c or about 783,593.6555 m/s which is approximately 2265 mach.


You can do the reverse using this

So, I think composite human speed should be changed to Massively Hypersonic+ instead

Well... I think that we can't calculate speed from KE, or am I wrong?
well this IS real life

also for combat speed and whatnot, we can simply rather look at the mass of limbs instead and use an arm as a sample and calculate its speed for that energy

if the human arm is considered to have 5.77 percent mass of body in males and 4.97 percent in females

we can take an average of this to find percent f body mass taken by arm. In the end, we get 3.756 kg for our human's arm mass, using that in the same manner as the OP, we get the speed as 0.0112788 c (and thats if all humans haveee athlete+ striking energy)

so this in general gives us a combat speed range of MHS+ to low end sub relativistic

I think this seems fine, but i haven't checked if the formula gives these numbers.
ok then so can I make the changes

so the new speed wud be MHS+ to sub relativistic rite?
 
@Aiden Link to this thread in the edit summary. And use LT's reasoning for the speed section. But don't link to this thread on the profile.
