jenscats5 said:Greater mass = Greater speed
ie: the bigger you are the faster you go....Picabo Street is smaller now that she's no longer competing....
shawnerk said:thicky thick! yeah.... kinda.... don't want em bigger than me I suppose.
Ulcasterdropout said:They're fat...
NO! You are!!perkele said:You're a fat fat fattie.
Ulcasterdropout said:YES! I am!!

Nice. She even has abs. Keep em coming perk.perkele said:The Swedish chick, Anja Pärson

BradG said:Really? I wouldn't have thought it would matter. Maybe the heavier you are the less friction you get because the top layer of ice will change to water under the skiis. I don't know. That's interesting.
Yep, I'm really a dork.
Lumberg said:well yeah the heavier something is the greater the force of gravity pulling it down the hill
Also - larger people= more strength/force = increased momentum = greater initial velocity.jenscats5 said:Yeah really....it's like, physics or something.... greater mass = greater speed, something to that effect -- read about it in a ski magazine....
BradG said:but more momentum also means its harder for them to turn.

Dial_tone said:If wind resistance and friction (skis against snow) are equal, two skiers will
accelerate at the same rate. (Like the experiment of dropping two unequal
weights in a vacuum.) Both will continue to accelerate until opposing forces
are equal and opposite. (equilibrium) The opposing forces are gravity on one
side and wind resistance and friction on the other. As the skiers continue
to pick up speed (accelerate), wind resistance increases exponentially until
equilibrium is reached and the skier then continues at constant velocity.
Equilibrium is where the difference occurs. The heavier skier will
theoretically accelerate for a longer time. When the forces acting on the
lighter skier reach equilibrium, she/he will continue at the equilibrium speed
while the heavier skier continues to accelerate until reaching equilibrium at
a higher speed (laughing at the lightweight left behind). If the hill
isn't long enough for the lighter skier to reach equilibrium, the two skiers
theoretically reach the bottom at the same time.
