What does air drag do?

Air drag is a force that points opposite to the motion of an object moving through air. The Moon has almost no air, so drag there is close to zero.

How do you find the net force on a skier?

Add the forces as arrows, taking direction into account. In the slalom sheet, gravity pulls down the slope and the snow pushes back on the skis' edges, which turns the skier.

Forces are pushes and pulls such as weight, air drag and friction. There are 2 sheets for 7th grade here, each with an answer key. Forces on a Basketball on Earth and the Moon compares weight, height and time of a shot in two places, and Forces and Energy on a Slalom Course draws net force arrows for a skier at three points. Both practice MS-PS2-2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not depend on location. Weight is the force of gravity, found by mass times gravity in N/kg, so it changes on the Moon.
