Newtons law of motion
Newton law of motion
2
Why do ski resorts calculate the slope or gradient of ski runs?
To measure the temperature of the snow
To determine the speed limits for skiers
To predict weather conditions on the slope
To grade trails and ensure safety
3

True
False
5
What formula is used to calculate the gradient or slope of a ski run?
x2 * y2
(x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
y1 + x1
6
What other concepts does skiing use?
All 3 ( Bio, Chem ,Physics)
Chemistry
Bio and Physics

7
What does the gradient or slope of a ski run describe?
The color of the snow
The number of skiers on the trail
The temperature of the slope
The steepness and direction of the terrain
8
What does kinematics refer to?
idk
Study of motion

9
How does the skier's movement impact the snow and terrain during skiing?
It increases the skiers risk of injury
It alters the speed and direction by interacting with the terrain
It causes the snow to melt completely
It leaves no trace on the terrain
10
What do the three different colors (blue, green, and black) represent in skiing?
The time of day the trail is open
The temperature of the slope
The type of snow on the trail
The difficulty level of the ski run
