Ski Jumping Introduction: As we all know ski jumping is a worldwide sport in which athletes skate down a slope ramp, gaining speed that throws them in the air that makes them land some distance away. The distance travelled at the time when the jumper leaves the ramp, until he reaches the ground is known as the jump range. This interesting and challenging sport has a lot of physics behind it. Kinetic energy, gravitational force, motion, speed, height, time, distance and the athlete's ability to reduce air resistance to his or her body (aerodynamic) are all factors that determine the athlete's performance. This experiment represents a ski jumping slope through which we will investigate how physics is related to it. Aim: The aim of my investigation is to determine the relationship between the range of the jump achieved by the ski jumper and the dropping height on the ramp. We will model the jumper as a...
