When water skiing if the boat was going fast would it create more drag or less drag for the skier?
The drag vs Speed graph will be a curve, with it's minimum at some speed greater than zero. At slow speed, the skier needs to angle the sji at a high angle to the water in order to produce enough lift to stay upright. This is known in Aerodynamics (and, I imaging, Hydrodynamics) as Induced drag. As the speed incearses, the skier can angle the ski at a lesser angle, thus reducing drag. However, as speed increases further, the frictional and drag forces associated both with the movement of the ski on the water, and the skier through the air increase ("Form and Parrasite" drag). The sum of all drag will reach a minimum where induced drag has reduced, but the other types of drag have yet to significantly increase. Drag will be greater at EITHER a slower OR faster speed than this minimum figure.

What kind of simple machine are water skis?
Water skis can be classified as a type of lever, which is one of the six classical simple machines. When a skier is pulled by a boat, the skis act as levers that allow the skier to lift and glide over the water's surface with minimal resistance. This leverage helps distribute the skier's weight, making it easier to balance and maneuver while skiing.

BA-28 which is a recommended water-skiing safety practice?
After a fall, a skier should always signal to the observer that he or she is okay by holding both arms together above the head. Using these signals will help to ensure the safety of the skier and of others. Then holding up a ski after falling so that other boaters can easily see the skier in the water.
HOW FAST DOES A BOAT NEED TO GO TO PULL A SKIER?
To successfully pull a skier, a boat typically needs to go at a speed of about 15 to 20 miles per hour (24 to 32 kilometers per hour). This speed allows the skier to maintain balance and achieve optimal performance on the water. However, the exact speed can vary based on the skier's skill level, weight, and type of skiing being performed. It's important for the boat driver to adjust speed according to the skier's needs and safety.
