The Science of Snow Sports - Volume 2: Graphs & Data for Science Lab (Paperback)

Learn about the Physics of Snow Sports Force, Motion, Velocity, & Acceleration In this book, readers gain access to real scientific data pertaining to the science of snow sports, promoting graph-reading, comparison, contrast, and calculation skills. Graphs show data from the following scientific instruments: Video Analysis Wireless Dynamics Sensor System Dual-Range Force Meter This book allows readers to analyze real data without purchasing expensive lab equipment. Graphs show the motion of scale models of a sled, toboggan, snowboard, and set of skis as they travel on inclined surfaces, consisting of snow, plastic, HDPE/plastic, and wood. Of special interest, this book features graphs of motion on curved jumps, including a simulated Alpine slope and a simulated ski jump. A series of graphs also show the forces required to move equipment over a flat surface. These data can be used for lesson plans by teachers and parents. Bonus Material: Additional graphs present comparison data for common objects as they engage in free fall and projectile motion similar to aerials. Pictures of snow compression, showing the extent to which equipment sinks into snow compared to surface area of the equipment, are also presented.
