Q1.

a)

Hypothesis: Add a series of material in order to decrase friction between snow and board. Try: honey, wax, polymers, etc...

If an increase of velocity is seen, then, assue this is due to the addition of the substance

If a decrease f velocity is measured, then, avoid material

Data requirmeents:

- Slope of mountain (must be constnat)

- Type of snowboard ( must be the same)

- Length of track

- Snowboarder (same user!)

- Mass of snowboarder

- Time required to get from point A to B ( Start to finish)
