Question

Explain,why no tracks are left on the ice during ice skating?

Answer 1

Answer:

because the ice skate board has very large surface area hence very less pressure is applied resulting in no marks on ice

Answer 2

No tracks are left on the ice during ice skating, because -

• When the ice skater is performing ice skating, a huge amount of pressure is applied on the ice surface by the skater.

• Due to this high pressure,the ice surface melts for some fraction of seconds and the surface becomes slippery. This slippery surface is actually beneficial for skating.

• But,as soon as the skater moves away,the melted ice doesn't face the high pressure and again becomes ice.

• This whole melting and re-freezing process occurs in fraction of seconds and that's why no tracks are left on the ice.
