that depends. If you are Going down hill then in the air is faster.
Between the undersides of the skis and the snow, and between the air and your body.
Skis for jumping are longer and wider for more air resistence, and skis for racing are long and have slick surfaces and have sharp edges for going faster.
i think that waxing them provides a support on the snow and then creates i guess a ballast upon the snowI think the wax hardens to a ultra-smooth finish filling in the pores of the skis and reducing friction. In a manner of speaking, it is supporting the skis.Waxing skis makes the running surface smoother and reduces friction. This will result in increased speed and smoother running.It does not create a ballast on the snow. A ballast is a tank of something, commonly water or sand, or it is left empty, to alter the buoyancy of a submarine, hot air balloon, dirigible, ship etc in a fluid. Snow is not a fluid. All it does is smooth the bases of the skis and make them slipperier. It makes you go a lot faster. That's it.
Friction between skis and snow may be reduced by waxing the skis. Air friction is reduced by tucking the body into a streamlined position.
Rain falls much faster than snow. Snow has much more air resistance than raindrops.
That's true for the airplane's wings, when the airplane is flying upright.
Creating LIFT, This is achieved by causing the air moving faster over the top of the wing in relation to the air beneath the wing.
As earth is moving east to west we should move west to east to faster to our destination.
A snowboard gets more air than average skis unless you have the short skis which can sometimes get more aor but 95% of the time boards get more air
Snow does not melt faster than ice because fresh white snow reflects up to 90% of the sunlight that reaches it, and ice reflects only 50% of the sunlight that reaches it. Therefore, there is more energy being absorbed by the ice than the snow.
Yes infact snow does contain air.
