AbstractA recently proposed simple approximate theory of snow machining is applied to modelling of several basic manoeuvres of alpine skiing: fall-line side-slipping, traversing, and hockey stop. The results agree with the skiing practice and explain the abnormally high friction reported in previous field studies. They also prepare foundation for future rigorous testing of the theory, which will determine its accuracy and limits of applicability.

We studied perfect carving turns of alpine skiing using the simple model of an inverted pendulum which is subject to the gravity force and the force mimicking the centrifugal force emerging in the turns. Depending on the turn speed the model describes two different regimes. In the subcritical ( low speed) regime, there exist three equilibrium positions of the pendulum where the total torque applied to the pendulum vanishes -- the marginally stable vertical position and two unstable tilted positions on both sides of the vertical. The tilted equilibria correspond to the ski turns executed in perfect balance. The vertical equilibrium corresponds to gliding down the fall line without turns. In the supercritical (high speed) regime, the tilted equilibria disappear. In addition to the equilibria the model allows fall-rise solutions, where the pendulum (skier) hits (rises from) the ground, and oscillations about the vertical. These oscillations correspond to the so-called dynamic skiing where the skier never settles to a balanced position in the turn. Analysis of the available data on FIS WC races shows that elite races ski mostly in the supercritical regime. In its current form the model of centrifugal pendulum has no feedback components associated with the skier control over their runs and therefore describes a riderless mono ski. Hence the theory predicts that such a vehicle can execute carving turns automatically.

A simple approximate theory of snow machining is developed and tested against the results of past laboratory experiments. It is also applied to side-slipping and traversing in alpine skiing, and yields realistic predic- tions which can be tested experimentally on real ski slopes. Eventually, the theory could be used in modelling of skiing turns involving the phaseof skidding.

A simple approximate theory of snow machining is applied to modelling successive wedge turns of alpine skiing. The results are in agreement with available experimental investigations of such turns. In particular, the model explains the abnormally high values for the coefficient of friction reported in these studies.

This study aims to review  the effectiveness of using android-based multimedia learning  to improve achievement cognitive learning outcome of students. The research method is the analysis of field studies. The focus in this research is Multimedia which can influence cognitive learning outcomes of students. data obtained in this study from the literature and direct field observations. The research subjects were high school students in Yogyakarta. The result of analysis and discussion of research indicate that there is the influence of multimedia learning to increase student achievement, which is indicated by increasing post-test result  than before  not using multimedia learning. Posttest value is greater than pretest.
