Figure Skating - physics in lutz jump


Expert: Dianne DeLeeuw - 1/2/2009

Question
Hello,
I am working on a physics project on the topic of figure skating. I was wondering if you could give me some information about the Lutz jump- anything on newton's law of motion, momentum, friction, pretty much anything about the single Lutz jump. It's very difficult to find a clear and concise answer. Please help!
Thanks so much!

Answer
Hi,

Check out this online...

University of Montana, Physics & Biomechanics course entitled,
'The Science of Jumping and Rotating' using figure skating as the example...
