100 meters is about 109 yards -- so if you moved at a constant speed, you would get to 40 yards in about 4.77 seconds.
You asked for a second answer -- because you could use more energy since it is shorter. It doesn't work that way -- because people can run flat out for the full 100 meters, and usually pick up speed in the last 40 meters. Therefore, it should actually take you longer to do 40 yards -- so my guess is 5.3 seconds.

About 6 - 7 seconds. A meter is only about 4 inches longer than a yard, but you are going to use up the same amount of time coming off the blocks.

The first person is right, the 40 yard dash time is used because it measures acceleration. Chances are you are quite a bit slower in your first 40 yards you run, as opposed to the second half of your 100 meter. If you arent running 100 meter full out then your arent running it right.

4.75488 seconds
you would multiply as follows:
40 yards (.9144 M/1yard)(13 seconds/100M)
the yards and Meters labels cancel themselves out, so you are left with the seconds label
and it's (40x.9144x13)/100, whch gives you your answer!
