a Lubricate the skis to reduce friction.
b Wear tight-fitting, smooth clothing to reduce
air resistance.
c Develop powerful muscles to provide a large
forward force.
d The steeper the slope the better, to maximise
the effect of gravity.

a The lighter one: lower terminal velocity.
b Turn head-first and pull in his arms and legs
to produce a streamlined shape and reduce
air resistance.

a Upthrust
b Friction
c Weight (= force of gravity)
d Contact force (normal reaction)

b 5108W
c 20 = 2101m

Note that g has been rounded appropriately
to 10ms2 in these estimates.

b Going down
a Force up on your foot and down on the foot
that you tread on. Both forces are contact
forces (normal reactions).
b Force backwards on the car and forwards
on the wall. Both forces are contact forces
(normal reactions).
c Backwards force on car and forwards force
on ground. Both forces are frictional forces.
d Upwards force on ball and downwards force
on your hand. Both forces are contact forces
(normal reactions).
