What are things that work better less friction?
Sledding on snow, ice skating, and sliding on a playground slide are activities that work better with less friction.
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.
Why do you reduce friction in skiing?
Reducing friction in skiing helps to increase speed, improve control, and conserve energy. By minimizing resistance between the skis and the snow, skiers can glide more easily and navigate slopes more efficiently. This allows for a more enjoyable and smoother skiing experience.
Why do you need low friction when skiing?
because you need to slide down the hill....?
When is friction not useful in skiing?
Friction is not useful in skiing when a skier wants to maintain high speeds or glide smoothly over snow. In these situations, reducing friction through techniques like waxing the skis or using a smoother ski base is beneficial. Additionally, when performing tricks or jumps, minimizing friction can help the skier achieve more fluid movements.
How is friction involved in sledding and in skiing?
because it rubs against something and that causes it to become slippery and that makes it slide
What are the popular sports in the mountain states?
Probably skiing. And sledding.
What physics are involved in skiing simple explanation please?
Friction, Gravity, Air drag (resintince)
Some of the activities you can do in Colorado?
Skiing, walking, jogging, sledding, snow mobiling, snowboarding.
Which has more friction sledding in soft snow or sledding in hard snow?
soft snow because it releases more water when heated
What is a skiing resort developed for?
A ski resort is developed on mountains that have snow year round. They are developed to provide entertainment in the sport of skiing, snowboarding and sledding.
