"I'm looking at an Angel, and believe me when I say, She got that whole place glowing..."

"THE SEXIEST NIGHT ON TELEVISION"

& A Night of Physics?

Quick Facts:

• 19 hairstylists
• 240,000 Swarovski crystals
• 125 pounds of glitter
• 34 Angels
• 90 feet of runway
• 5 inch heels
• signature angel wings = 50 pounds

-We will use one segment of the 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion to determine the physics of a runway walk. The chosen song will be "Angel" sang live by Akon. 

-The length of this song is 3:35 minutes, the runway is 90 feet long, and the number of girls who walked down the runway during this song was 11 angels.

-Assuming that all the models had the same amount of time to walk down the catwalk, 3:35 (215 seconds) divided by 11 would leave 19.5 seconds per girl. Since, the next girl does in fact begin her strut once the girl before has reached the end of the runway. Yes, two girls are on the runway at one time. 

Therefore, to find the approximate average speed of one model you do the formula for average velocity:

so distance traveled: 90 ft. & time elapsed: 19.5 seconds

Average Speed = 4.615 ft per second

"woah, that's fast"

Could you do that with 50 pounds on your back and 5 inch stilettos on your feet?!
