If a skier is in a jump, then a skier and skydiver is pretty much the same thing. In general though, a skydiver has only air resistance, the skier has air resistance and friction with the ski-snow, so the skydiver has an edge on speed.

Why does a skiers velocity increase as he races downhill?

A skier's velocity increases downhill primarily due to the force of gravity, which accelerates them as they descend. As they move downhill, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in higher speeds. Additionally, the skier's body position and technique can reduce air resistance and friction, further contributing to the increase in velocity.


A cross country skier moves from location A to location B to location C to Location D each leg takes one minute to complete total time is 3 minutes calculate average velocity?

To calculate the average velocity, we need to know the total displacement and the total time taken. If the skier moves in a straight line from location A to B to C to D, and returns to the original starting point, the total displacement would be zero. Therefore, the average velocity would be zero since average velocity is defined as total displacement divided by total time. If the skier does not return to the starting point, the average velocity would depend on the net distance between the starting and ending points divided by the total time of 3 minutes.

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.

When a skier is going down a mountain is it a balanced force?

By definition, if he is accelerating, then it is an unbalanced force ... which means he JUST jumped out the plane and his downward speed in increasing. Once he reaches a particular speed (called terminal velocity; lets call it for a general case of about 110 mph), the force of DRAG will be equal to the force due to gravity and he will no longer be accelerating, no longer increasing in speed, and he will then have balanced forces. Since the variables are always changing, drag will change with the most subtle changes in the skydiver's orientation either intentionally or unintentionally and the air resistance is constantly changing with increase in density, the forces will never be truly balanced. The effect of both forces will seesaw between one or the other being dominant. Terminal velocity is achieved when that process is minimal. It is of note that the effect of gravity itself is changing but over a skydive, the effect is negligible and may be ignored.
