What are the rules of ski jumping?
Ski jumping is a sport in which skiers go down an inrun with a take-off ramp (the jump), attempting to go as far as possible. In addition to the length that skiers jump, judges give points for style. The skis used for ski jumping are wide and long (240 to 270 cm). Ski jumping is predominantly a winter sport, performed on snow, and is part of the Winter Olympic Games, but can also be performed in summer on artificial surfaces (porcelain or frost rail track on the inrun, plastic on the landing hill).

When does a skier the greatest kinetic energy?
before they go down the incline.
What happens to energy of the skier if he goes down a hill?
The potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy as they go down the hill due to gravity. This kinetic energy allows the skier to move faster and pick up speed.
How fast might a skier be traveling before doing a jump?
as fast it can go
Does skiing have rules?
If you are talking about racing, the rules are governed by the FIS.For recreational skiing there are rules of etiquette and in the USA (and elsewhere) safety rules are law in some states (such as Colorado's Skier Responsibility Code).SKI SAFETY EXAMPLE (from?)1. Respect for othersPeople using the pistes must behave in such a way that they do not put other people in danger or harm them, either by their behaviour or with their equipment 2. Speed and behaviourPeople using the pistes must adapt their speed and behaviour to suit their personal abilities as well as the general terrain and weather conditions, the state of the snow and the density of the traffic 3. Choice of routeA skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his route in such a way that he does not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead. 4. OvertakingOvertaking can be done from above or below and to the right or left, as long as the person doing the overtaking allows sufficient space for voluntary (or involuntary) movements of the person he is passing 5. Entering a marked run and starting offA skier or snowboarder entering a marked run, starting again after stopping or moving upwards on the slopes must look up and down the slopes that he can do so without endangering himself or others. 6. Stopping on the pisteUnless absolutely necessary, a skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall in such a place, a skier or snowboarder must move clear of the piste as soon as possible. 7. Going up and down on footPeople who are obliged to go up or down a piste on foot must use the edge of the piste, taking care that neither they nor their equipment is a danger to others 8. Respect for information, markings and signsUsers must take notice of information about weather and snow/piste conditions and respect all markings and signs on the mountain 9. AssistanceAnyone witness to or involved in an accident is duty bound to assist, particularly by raising the alarm. If need be, and at the request of the first-aid people, they must put themselves at their disposal 10. IdentificationEvery skier or snowboarder and witness, whether a responsible party or not, must exchange names and addresses following an accident.
Do skis or snowboards go faster?
Given the same ability level, same level of equipment, the skier will win virtually every single time. (Insert physics reasoning here). One exception is when two riders of similar ability atempt a run way above their ability level. Snowboard speed record 125.459mph by Darren Powell (Australia) Current Skiing Speed record 156 mph by Simone Origone (Italy)
How fast does a super g skier go?
depends if you good or not. a good one will go between 40 and 50 mph.
What does it mean when a skier rases both hands together over his or her head?
For freestyle, it means that you are clear to go on the feature.
When should the boat operator take off in a straight line when the skier signals he or she is ready to go?
when there is no traffic ahead
Is Shaun White the best snowboarder in the world?
Travis Rice is the best snowboarder in the world and was rated #1 in 2009 by snowboarder magazine. Shaun White has never been as good as Travis and never will, not to mention there are a handful of other people who are considered better than White. Shaun White is actually ranked at number 9 in the world for 2009. Nothing to look down at. NO Shaun is the best snowboarder in the world!!!!! actually he was rated #2 best snowboarder in the world. He is the best in the world for superpipe and slopestyle. And im sure he has more medals than Travis Rice. Neither Travis or Shaun are the best,because there is no best in snowboarding.There are a lot of different disciplines and each have their own style,so there really can't be a best.Each snowboarder is better than others in different things.You should just go by who's style and tricks you prefer.To answer your question, no he is not,but he is one of them and one of the biggest influences in this sport.
What gives the skier his potential energy?
Gravity is the answer for this question. If you need other help with questions, there are other questions that are answered for this. I've used Wiki Answer the whole Science Study Island.....
