GLORY MEYER

I chose this sport because I have seen it many times in the Winter Olympics and i find it quite fascinating. I think it would be a fun thing to peruse and I actually don't mind sweeping, I actually kind of like it.

PHYSICS PRINCIPLES

• The typical mass of a curling stone is 17 and 20 kg.
• The heavy mass of the stone is what enables it to slide down the length of the rink, w/out slowing down.
• Curling regulations state that the maximum mass of a curling stone is 20 kilograms.

EXAMPLES FOR CURLING PHYSICS

• First fact
• When you push the stone it has to be approximately that weight.
• If it isnt that wieght the whole balance will be thrown out of whack.

EXAMPLES FOR CURLING PHYSICS

• Second fact
• If the mass were any heavier than it would slow down immensely.
• If it were to slow down their shot would be off aim and they would be set back from winning.

EXAMPLES FOR CURLING PHYSICS

• Third fact
• If they were to have too light of a stone they would get in major trouble.
• If their stone is too heavy then they are just making hurting themselves by slowing down their stone.

ANDREA CRAWFORD

Andrea is at light weight which allows her to glide more swiftly down the ice with more speed and velocity to sweep the stone into the target to win.

ANDREA SCHÖPP

Andrea is a very broad and strong women, which allows her to push the stone farther with more speed and velocity.
