How does math work with ice skateing?

It doesn't really...i suppose people get stupid ideas from that movie ice princess...but you would have to be a real genius to figure out the areo dynamic formula! so the best idea is to just go for lessons. I suppose also you need math for jumps turns etc. but no ones gonna go out onto the ice with a compass or anything!

Here is one I learned and it works great.  \n\nAbout 5 eyelets from the top run the lace through that eyelet twice.   When you tie your skates the double-laced eyelet will tighten and not loosen up.  \n\nIt makes the skate snug without having to cut the circulation off to your feet.\n\nTry it... it works.\n\n\n_

First question I have for you is which direction are you having trouble with clock wise or counter clock wise. If you haven't noticed, all skaters at rinks skate in one direction, counter clock wise. This is the easest direction for everyone to skate. You also didn't say if you were having trouble skate forwards or backwards. Balance is the key to skating. You have to find your balance on your skates. When I teach my players, I have them work on their inside edges and then outside edges. I have them do half circles with the inside edge and then half cirles with the outside edge, When you get comfortable with your edges and can push hard on both inside and outside edges without falling down, then you can start working on your crossovers. I have one question for you, how many pushes on a crossover, one or two. Answer is two. You first push on your outside skate, crossover, as you crossover, you push on you inside skate. You may fall down at times doing this at first, but this is the first start in power skating. It take time to develop a good push on both skates inorder to get the power that you need. I'm 58 years old and I am still working everyday to improve my stride. Hang in there. Nobody said that this would be easy. Good luck to you.

Think of it like this, if you have a car on ice, there is no friction. The wheels will spin, but the car won't go anywhere. If you have a car on pavement, the wheels spin and the car moves. This is  because the friction where the wheel is touching the pavement doesn't move. Instead,the wheel to rotates and the next part of the wheel touches the pavement and 'doesn't move'.\n\nHope that makes sense. I was never all that good with physics.

http://members.cox.net/mathmistakes/what_is_mathematics3.htm\n\n\nAfter an introductory chapter, Devlin has two chapters devoted to what psychologists know about how our brain does math. It follows that old genetics vs. environment argument; some of our math ability comes naturally, though the majority is learned.\n\nChapter 2 is devoted to fairly new ideas about our natural ability to do basic math such as counting. It seems from birth we have the ability to understand the difference between one, two, three, and many. Psychologists have confirmed this through rather clever testing of infants as young as four weeks old. \n\nFor example, one test involved showing babies a series of puppets going behind a curtain. The testers show the babies a couple of puppets going one at a time behind a curtain. The curtain is then lifted. If there are one or three puppets revealed behind the curtain, the babies will stare longer at the puppets than if there are only two puppets, which is what the baby expects. Babies stare longer at things that do not make sense to them, so when they see two puppets  go behind a curtain, they expect two puppets when the curtain is dropped.\n\nA basic inherent "number sense" is not just a human trait, it has been confirmed in mammals and birds as well. There is an old story about a bird that was nesting in a tower, and the owners of the tower wanted to get rid of it. When they sent someone into the tower to capture the bird, the bird would leave to a nearby tree and would not return to the tower until the man left. So they came up with a clever plan of sending two men into the tower, then soon after one man left, but the bird stayed in the tree and would not return to the tower until it saw both men leave: it saw two men enter, and it waited until both men were gone. They tried again with three, same thing. They tried with four, same thing. Finally, it got confused with five men entering the tower and four men leaving, the fifth man was able to capture the bird.\n\nI can attest to the fact that this number sense also exists in cats. I have a cat, and sometimes I give her some kitty treats just before I leave (this distracts her so I can go out without her darting outside). If I toss three treats on the floor with my cat watching, she will systematically go after all three treats. If I toss five, she will get three easily, then she has to sniff around and search for the others; she knows there are more than three. If she finds one, she may stop looking, because she lost track of how many I threw. \n\nSo the number sense is a naturally occurring ability of knowing one, two, three, and many. It is an instinct developed for survival. Many primitive human languages actually only have words for one, two, three, and many. Remnants of this can be found in English, like the ordinal numbers first, second, and third. Later ordinals fourth through twentieth all have identical endings, which makes the first three ordinals unique.

+/- is easy.\n\nIf you're on the ice when your team scores, you get a +1\n\nIf you're on the ice when the other team scores, you get a -1\n\nThe only EXCEPTION is if you or the other team has a power play, in which no one gets + or -.

Icing is when a player from the offensive team controls the puck before reaching the center ice line.  He shoots the puck all the way down behind the opposite goal WITHOUT anybody on the defending team being able to play the puck prior to crossing the goal line.  Often, the linesmen will wave off the icing if the player is within 2 feet of the center line prior to dumping the puck.  Also, an icing can only be called when the offensive team is either on the powerplay or at an even strength situation.  The puck then goes either to the left or right of the goaltender of the team who shot the puck depending on which side of the rink the puck was touched up on.\n\nAn offside is when a player controls the puck completely crosses the blue line after another offensive player completely crosses it.  If the player doesn't have control of the puck when it crosses the blue line, it is a delayed offside.  All offensive players must then touch up at the blue line at the same time before going back into the offensive zone and playing the puck.  Play is only stopped on a delayed offside when an offensive player makes contact with the puck before all teammates touched up at the same time prior to contact.  If an offside is called, the puck is dropped at one of the two blue circles next to the blue line, again depending on which side of the ice the offsides occured on.

the ollie is the trick in skateboarding that brought the skateboard comunity to what it is today. it is when the board hops in the air by the grip tape and the shoes that are made for skatebarding it makes the board level out in the air. there is really nothing of physics in the trick. its just the grip tape on top of the board sticks to the specially designed shoes for skateboardng. like if you skate with tennis shoes it wouldn really stick to the board

start out skating backward, lift up your left foot a little bit, raising it behind you,\nTurn a little bit, followign your left shoulder and hop onto your left foot.\nTake it slow, small, low foot work and keep practicing.\nOr- if there are little girls skating around the rink that look like they know how, ASK them. They would think it was pretty cool to be able to teach someone older

yes, at the skating rink...why...ITS THE MONEY!!!money makes the world go round

Since you're only 11, I will let you slide with this question, but noone can help you over the computer unless they give you the exact instructions, and you write them down, and then you take them with you when you skate...I figure ice skate whenever I can!

do math problems it does the trick everytime!!!

a. V ice = pi(0.12^2-0.10^2)*3 = 0.041 m^3\nb. V ice = pi[(0.10 + x)^2 - 0.10^2]*3 = pi(0.10^2 + 0.20x + x^2 - 0.10^2)*3 = 3pi(0.20x + x^2)\ndV/dt = pi[0.60 + 6(0.02)]dx/dt = 0.000002pi\n= [0.60 + 6(0.02)]dx/dt = 0.000002\ndx/dt = 0.000002/[.60 + 6(.02)]

Skate shoes have wheels. You can't miss them. They're the round things.
