How Mass Effects Luge Luge is an unusual sport where the rider or riders on a sled-like device are barreling down an ice track at speeds up to 97 mph. Because of these tremendous speeds, one may think that the rider(s) must be light and nimble so they could glide through the course with ease. However, this is the complete opposite of reality and in the physics world, it makes complete sense. As you may have guessed, the objective in this sport is to get down the track at a faster time than your opponents. To do this, you obviously need velocity to achieve that goal. The only form of velocity in the sport of luge is gathered by gravitational force. However, there are two main
