The physics of snowboarding
by Gerhard Adam
Physics of Snowboarding The physics of snowboarding involves the forces acting to produce the downward movement of the rider and the forces that influence the rider's balance and maneuverability. The forces affecting downward acceleration are generated by gravity providing the "pull" while friction and air resistance act to reduce the influence of the gravitational force. Therefore the p...read more
