Skiing
is a sport enjoyed by millions of people around the world. The adrenaline
rush that skiers get from flying down the slopes is unmatched, but all
too often the cause for this rush is overlooked. Physics plays a crucial
role in skiing and without it, there would definitely be no skiing. The
concept of skiing is simple. You attach a ski to each foot, go to the
top of a hill or incline, and slide down, turning side to side. From this
basic concept of sliding down an inclined plane, a worldwide sport has
evolved. In this web page, I hope you gain a useful knowledge of the vitally
important role that physics plays in the sport of downhill skiing. |
