history of skating
culo
around as early as 1000 BCE and probably in Scandinavia.
how do you land after you spin/jump?
long hard answer: To land, the skater extends (opens up) their arms and free leg in the same manner as exiting a spin on the ice. If the skater fails to control the angular momentum prior to landing, the skaters may land hard on the toe on a deep arc. A wide swinging free leg can cause a loss of control, free leg touching down or immediately stepping out of the landing. Acceptable answer: the skater opens up arms and legs in the same way as ending a spin on the ice (or something close to that)
Is the pitch higher when the ice is thin or thick? super easy
thin :L easy
why is the bottom of the blade in figure skates hollow? PS: It's a U shape
it gives the edges and grip, simple as that!
What are the men expected to be able to do in the worldwide competition? And what are the women expected to do?
A: they are expected to do quads in some of the jumps
B: they are expected to do triplets in some of the jumps
C: they are expected to do nothing
D: They are expected to do 90 degree spins
The answer is A and B The men are expected to do quads and the women are expected to do triplets.
what were the first ice skates made out of?
the first skates being made from shank or rib bones of elk, oxen, reindeer, and other animals.
what do jumps in figure skating require?
Jumps in figure skating require a skater to change linear momentum into vertical momentum in a manner similar to pole vaulting.
what are the theories of why ice is slippery?
pressure melting, friction, structure of ice
what are the types of momentum?
A: Angular momentum
B: linear momentum
C: diagonal momentum
D: torque momentum
E: vertical momentum
The answers are A B and E, Angular, Linear, and Vertical.
What do they do to take a more scientific approach to develop their skills in ice skating? Hint: It was in the Ice Skating + Math = Gold Medals? video!
They collect the data on a computer and capture the image and recreate a mathematical image of them skating, anything close to this answer is fine
when and where was the first skating club formed?
A: In Edinburgh, Scotland, 1742
B: In Duanesburg, Massachusetts
C: In prague
It was formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1742
what are the six recognized moves in competitive Olympic-level figure skating?
The toe loop (a toe jump)
The loop (an edge jump)
The salchow (an edge jump)
The flip (a toe jump)
The Lutz (a toe jump)
The axel (an edge jump)
if 5 centimeters is the safe amount of thickness for ice to go skating on, at what thickness does it become unsafe (Hint: Obviously lower number than 5)
how do you slow rotation?
Rotation can be slowed or stopped by extending the hands and free leg out to check the rotational force of the jump allowing the core body to achieve stability for a controlled landing when exiting the jump.
what are the two types of rating categories?
A: Technical score
B: program component score
C: TSPCS score
D: rapid spinning score
E: PCS score
the answers are technical score and program component score, also PCS Score. lol for C I did TSPCS because the first letters of technical score and program component score, I just came up with random score except for A, B, and E
who invented the first ice skating rink?
John Gamgee
what does the quintuple jump involve?
it involves a figure skater completing five full rotations in the air and landing successfully
What do people use to keep the ice rink frozen?
The most common method of refrigeration used in keeping an ice rink frozen is an indirect refrigeration system. This is where a liquid refrigerant (often ammonia) absorbs heat from a secondary liquid (often brine) which has absorbed heat from the source.
how do you increase rational speed when skating?
A skater can increase rotational speed in a jump by pulling in the hands tightly to body.
what are the 5 things the pcs scale covers?
skating skills, footwork, choreography, musical interpretation, performance/execution
when did the first ice rink open? And what was the name?
January 7 1876, and it was in a tent in a small building just off the Kings Road in Chelsea, London
has any quintuple jump been attempted in a competition before?
no
how is ice formed?
When the water temperature reaches around 0°C, the molecules stick together and form a solid – ice. ... As the liquid cools down, the amount of potential energy is reduced and the molecules start to move slower. When the water temperature reaches around 0°C, the molecules stick together and form a solid – ice.
Ice skating jumps requires lifting force that propels the skater into the air. How is the force created?
This force can be created by pushing the entire skate blade against the ice surface by shifting the body's weight to the ball of the foot on an edge or from a pole vaulting motion from tapping the toe into the ice which requires a coordinated push against the ice from an edge and tapping motion that suddenly stops linear momentum of the body, thus launching the skater into the air.
Where did ice dancing grow from?
A: Latin dance
B: Belly dance
C: The Waltz
D: swing dance
E: Street dance
the waltz
