What is snowboarding forces?
Inertia, friction, gravity
How science is involved in snowboarding?
Physics determines the basis of motion, friction, speed and other factors that lead into snowboarding. This is the easy answer.
What kind of winter Olympic sports involve friction?
Skiing, bobsleding, snowboarding, curling, and much more
What sciences are used in snowboarding?
gravity geometry
What is a snowboard?
a long device used for snowboarding
Can kiwi helmets be used for snowboarding?
yes
Are the DC dredge boots good for snowboarding?
NO The Dredge boots are not snowboarding boots. They are casual snow boots with features that are used in certain snowboarding boots but are not meant to strap into bindings.
How does friction forces affect snowboarding?
This question is unclear...let's assume you are comparing a snowboard to a pair of skis, the snowboard usually creates more friction. This is why you see snowboarders clomping along on flat sections, while a skier may glide right through the flat. When ridden specifically on edge, however, a single edge of a snowboard will create less friction than two long skis on edge. In this manner, snowboards can go from creating a lot of friction to almost instantly creating very little. Also, a snowboard ridden straight will create less friction than skis that are angled across the slope, as in a snowplow or a skidded turn. On the other hand, a snowboard turned across the fall line can create an incredible amount of friction, such as when a novice boarder turns the board sideways to go very slowly down a hill that exceeds their ability. Also the wax on your board will change the amount of friction
Why is friction not as useful in some winter sports?
Ice skating does not require any friction because the skater needs to glide on the ice and if there was any friction on ice the skater would have trouble to skate smoothly on the ice. That is why ice skating does not require any friction at all from my perspective.
What types of friction aren't used much?
There are three types of friction and all are all actually used often. These are static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction.
What does friction have to do with friction?
The type of force used.
What is a half-cylinder shaped tube used for snowboarding called?
