This picture is very dishonest since the distance between 0 to 25 is much more than one fourth the distance between 0 and 100 (643 pixels vs 2342 - it should be 585, off by about 10%). It tries to cover up the effects of air resistance by making the scale for the distance traveled nonlinear.

Since the whole meaning of this image is its purported measurement, and the measurement itself is forged, the picture should be removed from each page it is used.
