Team # 9582 Page 1 of 34 A half-blood half-pipe, a perfect performance Summary Our basic model can be divided into two parts. The first part is to find a half-pipe shape which can ize “Vertical Air”; in the second part, we adapt the shape to ize the possible total angle of rotation. In the extended model, we analyze the snowboarder’s subjective influence on “Vertical Air” and the total degree of rotation. Finally, we discuss the feasibility and the trade-off of building a practical course. The major assumption is that the resistance includes the friction of snow and air drag. The former is proportional to the normal force and the latter is proportional to the square of velocity. Plus, the snowboarder is perpendicular to the tangential surface of the course at his locus during his movement on the half-pipe. The variables of our model include: coordinate variables x, y, z, normal force N, resistance f, snowboarder’s mass m, mechanical energy lost due to friction of the snow and air drag E , vertical air H , and the initial angular momentum of the fly L . lost f 0 In the first part of our basic model, we ob n a differential equation of Elost based on force analysis and Energy Conservation. Then we derive the representation of Elost by solving the equation, which is a functional. Thus we calculate the representation of “Vertical Air” by analyzing the projectile motion. In the second part of the basic model, we derive the representation of the initial angular momentum before the fly, and discuss the factors influencing it. In our extended model, we calculate the “Vertical Air” when taking the snowboarder ’s subjec
