What is skiing and what does it involve?
skiing is......... going down hill on snow using skies to guid you
Why do you need low friction when skiing?
because you need to slide down the hill....?
Down-hill skiing aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic.
What type of activity is down hill skiing?
Snowsport
When is momentum not useful?
when you are skiing down a hill and you want to slow down
What is a force of one sport?
There is Down Hill Skiing as a sport which might use alot of forces Like: speed, acceleration, velocity, friction, position and motion. T.
What are the forces involved in skiing?
There is a fair amount of physics involved, but the general picture is simple. The force of gravity is pulling the skier down the slope. It is the "prime mover" here. There will be air friction ("drag") on the individual, and a bit of friction (though not much) on the bottom surface of each ski where it is in contact with the snow. And the poles are used to "lift" the skier and allow him to "reposition" his skis. But the real "biggie" here other than gravity is the force created when the edges of the skis "cut into" the snow and allow the skier to redirect his path of travel. The skier shifts his weight to put more on the outer ski and use the edge to slice into the snow and allow him to move laterally (across) a slope. It is true that the skier will have considerable momentum after he gets going, but the edges of the skis will allow him to change course and control his rate of descent. The force on the edges as they "bite into" the snow are the other key factor that makes skiing what it is.
What is crosscontry skiing?
*Cross country* skiing is where you are skiing on flat terrain. It's much more work than skiing down a hill.
Is the friction of the wagon moving down the hill static?
No, the friction of a wagon moving down a hill is typically kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and there is no motion relative to the surface.
Is a bicycle rolling down a hill friction?
Yes, as the bicycle rolls down the hill, there is still some friction present between the wheels and the surface of the hill. This friction helps to slow down the bicycle's descent and eventually bring it to a stop.
What slow down an object when it rolls down a hill?
friction
