how fast do downhill skiers go in miles per hour?
92986
Slightly over 90 mph (150km/h).

depends where on the earth (by the lattitude because longitude does not matter) your actually talking about because different lattiude have different circumferances of the earth. For example on the north pole the speed iis nearly zero but on the equator the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph).

Typically they fall at about 7 miles per hour in still air, but this depends on the size of the drop, air movement, and other factors. The biggest drops (up to a quarter inch) can fall as fast as 18 miles per hour; faster than that, and they break up into smaller drops.

It doesn't translate.  Some people are very quick...get to full speed in a hurry.  Others take more time, but reach faster speeds.  It is much like the Quarter Horse vs Thorobred.  Have I confused you enough?  I could go on....

186,000 miles a second vs 220 some odd miles per second?  yeah, it is\n\nedit- \nok, to the person below, yes, I meant per hour, and was lowballing it... \n\nspeed of sound at sea level = 340.29 m / s

There is no official world record because the shortest distance measured is the 50.  The problem is that the coaches are measuring the times, so they can be way off compared to a computer doing it.  There's a big article here about Ben Johnson running the 40 in about 4.38.

There's no spec on this, since it depends on the weight and number of riders (up to 3). Reportedly online, some have said upwards of 50 mph.

Start with your height in centimeters, which is 163 cm.\nThe skis should be at least 20 cm longer than your height, and then you should make them still longer as your skiing skill increases and you want to tackle harder trails.\n\nSo 185 is about right to start, or go to 195 if you are intermediate.

260 miles.\n\nFrom the half-hour difference we can find the length of the hill:\n\nt = d/v, t2-t1 = d (1/v2 - 1/v1)\nd= .5/(1/72-1/90) = 180\n\nThis takes 2 hours at 90 mph, so the other hour covers 80 miles.\n180+80=260
789497
Between 30 and 40 mph.

I was a professional ski instructor while in college.  I taught hundreds of people from age 3 to 84.  Some were very athletic and some were, well, not so athletic to put it politely.  That said, there is no set time to learn.  I taught an 8 year old girl who was a gymnist.  She was skiing advanced runs by the end of the day.  I taught a college age guy who could never grasp the basic skills to turn no matter what trick I tried during several different lessons.  It took me 3 years before I could go down anything other than a beginner run.  Two years later, I was good enough to be a ski instructor.  You just never know how quick until you get on the skis.  If you have a good sense of balance and good control of your body and feet, you should pick it up rather quickly.  If not, it could take a little longer.  If you can afford ski lessons, take them - private or semi-private lessons are better because you get more one on one instruction with the instructor.\n\nUsually, it is eaier to learn the baics to ski than snowboarding, but once you learn the basics of snowboarding, people pick it up a lot faster.  \n\nNo matter which one you decide to take up, enjoy!!!

About 1000 feet per sec.

The only person that can answer that question is Bode Miller. If he is mentally prepared and can attack the downhill course he can certainly medal. The top 5 is certainly not out of the question.

run in a zigzag fashion to escape them. Their spines are not flexible enough for them to take corners well enough to keep up. In a straight line however, for short distances, they can easily attain 35-40 mph!

Well use Newtons second law. The sum of all Forces = mass times acceleration\nF = m*a\nIn the x direction the only force is friction, and the mass is the skier. The force is negative because it is slowing down the skier.\n-25 = 6*a\na = -25/6 = -4.2\n\nNow  The change in velocity is the constant acceleration times the time. \n(v - v0) = at.\n(v -v0) = -4.2 m/s^2 *20 s = -84 m/s\n\nThis is a very ridiculous problem. Most skiers are about 10 times as massive, and a speed of 84m/s is equal to 190 miles per hour.

well if you make bigger and more stable skateboard and go down a long stretch of a smooth completely downhill road maybe around 150km/hr

well speed is units of distance per unit time, lets say meters per second(m/s). now the slope is the velocity per unit time. so that would be meters per second per second(m/s/s). meters per second per second is also known as meters per second squared(m/s^2). look familiar? those are the units for acceleration. this also makes sense because of the formula. a=v/t. so the slope is the y-axis divided by the x-axis so v is the y-axis and t is the x-axis. so v/t, which is acceleration. hope that helps :)
