Which are the 2 friction forces that slow skiing down?
Air resistance and friction with the snow.
How the law of friction affects down hill skiing?
if there is friction on the hill it will slow you down
How is the friction involved in sledding and skiing?
it rubs against the snow witch causes friction
When is friction not useful in skiing?
when you are jumping or making a turn
Why do you need low friction when skiing?
because you need to slide down the hill....?
Why do you reduce friction in skiing?
Most skiers wax their skis for this purpose.
What kind of force is skiing downhill?
Gravity but the snow provides friction
Jack is going skiing does he need high or low friction between his skis and the snow?
low friction
What useful friction?
You need friction to slow down or turn while skiing and ice skating. Auto braking during driving. Walking or the movement of the motor vehicle depends on friction or there will not be movement.
How does wax help skiing faster?
It reduces friction between the bottom of the ski and the top of the snow.
What physics are involved in skiing simple explanation please?
Friction, Gravity, Air drag (resintince)
What sports are friction useful and not useful for?
Friction is important for all sports.Without it it becomes really hard to accelerate or deaccelerate.For example a 100m sprinter.It would be great for him if there wasnt any air resistance (as long as he can breath).But he needs friction on the floor to push himself forward.however friction is less useful in hockey, skiing, and almost all types of boarding(snowboarding, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, sandboarding).
