Students taking Mr. Leet's SUNY Broome Physics class at the high school got to go sledding for their Physics class last Thursday. Students measured the length of the hill and then took time measurements of students going down the hill. The class compared the sledding times of using a sled vs using just your snow suit. Of course, with a sled, it's a much faster and exciting ride down the hill. Using the measurements calculations of acceleration, net Force, and friction coefficients can be determined. In the end, the snowsuit has a higher friction coefficient which is why you go slower down the hill. Sledding is a great application of many Physics concepts. Students got hands-on experience measuring physics quantities.
