The physics of skiing involves several fundamental concepts of classical mechanics, including forces, motion, energy, and friction. Here’s a breakdown of the key physical principles at play in skiing: \#\#\# 1. **Forces Acting on a Skier** - **Gravity:** The primary force acting on a skier is gravity, pulling them down the slope. The steeper the slope, the greater the component of gravitational force acting to accelerate the skier downwards.
