Physics and the Winter Olympics!
By: Zachary B
In this presentation…
 I’ll be explaining different examples of how physics
work in curling, an Olympic sport.
 Pictures will also be shown to help describe the text.
Example 1: Friction
 Friction is an important
aspect in curling. The
players count on the rock
gliding along the ice
because ice has little
frictional resistance.
 To reduce friction even
more, players rub their
brush in front of the rock to
slightly melt the ice and
create a path with even
less resistance.
Example 1: Friction cont’d

 In order to limit as much surface contact between the curling
rock and the ice also, water is sprayed on the ice to form tiny
bumps that help keep the rock moving while avoiding the
power that friction will eventually take.
Example 2:
Newton’s 2nd Law
•Another example would be how
Newton’s 2nd Law applies to curling.
•In curling, a player must first apply
a force to the rock to make it move.
This player pushes themselves using
a “hack” and the force transmits to
the rock.
•If an unbalanced force acts on an
object, the object accelerates in
the direction of the force. This is
what causes the stone to move on
the ice.
Thanks for your time!
