During Track and Field meet, momentum can be observed almost everywhere. Especially in the field events (jumping events and throwing events) where maximizing momentum is the key to performing well. In throwing events such as javelin, shot put, hammer and discus, competitors get to apply force to the object for a brief moment of time. After that, forces acting on the objects are all against the forward motion (i.e. gravitational force, air friction…). At this point momentum is all that is left to keep it going forward.

For anything beyond 100 metres, a running track will need to go around a curve. The measurement of the track length along the curve requires knowledge of geometry.

well for example with the high jump in track a running start gets your momentum going so it is a little bit easier to get your body up in the air and over the bar.
Just over a quarter mile
You are running around in volleyball just like you are in track.
Soccer,baseball,football, and track. (running around)
A standard running track is 400m.
.270 of a mile.
An air track is used as a model for momentum because the air hovering beneath the track minimizes friction, allowing objects to move with almost no resistance. This setup allows for more accurate measurements of the conservation of momentum in collisions and interactions between objects.
The Olympics uses a track of 400 meters in length, as measured in lane 1.
100 meters. The entire track is 400 meters around.
