The Physics of Ice Skating
Home History Skate Design Forces and Motion Sources
Ice skates have been used for thousands of years and have been rapidly improving in design. From the skates made from bone to modern skates that can travel at great speeds, ice skates involve a great deal of physics in the forces and motion involved.
This web site will explore some of the physics involved with this complex sport.
