How can snowboarding be scientific?

Question

I need to finish a science project on snowboarding.

Answer 1

Friction, momentum, acceleration, terminal velocity, tension.  Friction between your board and snow, ice, rails, boxes.  Tension in your board when you ollie.

Answer 2

it can be scientific in many ways i think the most scientific part is the wax on the bottom of the board and how it helps a snowboard move faster down the slopes

Answer 3

It's just physics and geometry

Answer 4

im sure you've thought of the physics involved. friction and momentum for going off of jumps is a good example

Answer 5

shifting ur weight makes the board move?? sciency a bit i guess. how people break arms and legs!!! thatd be fun!!! id do that!!!!

Answer 6

Terje just got the world record in the quarterpipe by using science.  He had scientists figure out how to design a quarterpipe with optimal conditions to get the most height possible out of the quarterpipe.  

Google it.  I know it was in either transworld snow or snowboarder recently.  The article talks all about how the scientists went about it, including scientific terms.  

Good luck!

Answer 7

F=ma;  Force = mass x acceleration====so the amount of force with which you crash into a tree is equal to your weight(mass) x how fast you're going (acceleration)..in other words , the larger you are and the faster you're going , the harder you hit that pine tree in front of you!!!!!
