Stand exactly 1 metre away from the toilet. Have someone time from the point that you first squirt and stop when it starts hitting the water. Speed of piss in m/s = 1 divided by the time.

As long as you don't push the wee out, (just relax and let it flow) the speed of wee when it hits the water in the toilet will be the same as the speed of anything else you drop in the water, as long as it falls from the same height, straight down.
You need to use the formula:
speed squared = 2 x 9.81 x distance from urethra to water in toilet.
For example, if you wee half a metre above the water:
speed squared = 2 x 9.81 x 0.5
= 9.81 metres squared per second squared.
When you square root this, it gives a speed of 3.13 metres per second.
Sorry, I just realised I've answered a question you didn't ask!!

I agree with some of the others answers. You could do an experiment by collecting 10 equal volumes and timing how long it takes to urinate each volume or urinate in different containers for a specified period of time, say 3 seconds. You could then be the first to find if the rate of urination is linear or a curve. Find an equation to fit the shape of the curve, differentiate the equation with respect to time and you you will discover the rate of pissing as a function of time. Who knows, you could have a law named after you.

Variable in every person. If you are interested check articles on VCUG or voiding cystourethrogram.
Oh! yes, if you get a doubt on something related, there are articles on video proctoscopy. This does not measure speed of course, only the function!!!

it goes about 12 miles per hour after leaving the body for the first .0135 seconds.

Connect a laser pointer to your penis, put a mirror at the bottom of your toliet, get a chronograph, and time it!
Let us know what you got for an answer!

I think it really depends upon how badly you need to go and if it's at the beginning of the leak you're taking or at the end.

When I have a piss on a plane, my piss travels at over 500mph.

u can do this urself
piss in a measuring beaker n count how many seconds it tkes u to do it
then u divide the amount of substance by the time
and voila u hav worked out how much
