So what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? (It's one of the many great Monty Python quotes.)

so, if time is a banana or bacon, how does it stand still? it must be an animal.....but if you say the animal is pig, then bacon still stands....\n\nwas stephen hawkins vegetarian, or did he hate animals to think that animals had no time?

For the European Swallow, roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour.

I like the joke!  To play along, I define:\nr = metric r  and \nd = metric d\n\nV = (pi/3)*(d^2)*(3r - d)\n\nThis will work for the tank being any fraction of a sphere, not just 1/2

The most \nconservative estimates I found were 150 km per hour or roughly 100 mph. The \nhighest estimate I found came from the JFK Health World Museum in Barrington \nIllinois who claim that a sneeze can go as fast as 85% of the speed of sound \nor approximately 630 miles per hour.

Eggman is good except for one point: velocity is a vector not a scalar.  He was right that velocity was a speed and direction.  He just used the wrong term.\n\nAnother example would be that of a pendulum.  When the pendulum bob is at the peaks on either side, it is experiencing acceleration, but it has zero velocity for the instant it is at either peak.\n\nThis is actually the same as throwing a ball up in the air, and the ball stops for an instant at the very top of its path.  The only difference is the pendulum keeps going.  The point is, the peaks of a pendulum, and the peak of a ball being thrown straight up into the air are really the same thing happening.

As opposed to a Europian swallow?

(What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?\nIn order to maintain air speed velocity a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?\n\nActually, the correct answer appears to be the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.)\n\nATTENTION!\nThis is not my answer.\nI just copied it from a similar and expired question of the same category.\n\nMaybe I will answer later.

Well, how fast was it pushed?  Is it going uphill< downhill, on a flat surface, on a bumpy road, hmm, too many things to consider!

velocity=107,300 km/h (or if you prefer 67,062 miles per hour)

The unladen swallow one.  The woodchuck.  Anyone want a date?  But, I'm not sick of the meaning of life questions.  I know someone knows and sooner or later they're going to answer it.
