Rolling coefficients of friction between hard wheels and solid smoth surfaces of the kind that you describe, are usually very small and below 0.02 . The friction force is this number multiplied by the weight carried by the skate-board so it would not exceed 4 lb.

However to answer the question fully, hardly anybody finds this friction, most people are not interested in it.

What are similarities between skateboards and cars?

They both have four wheels.


How do you describe a force of a skateboard rolling down the sidewalk?

The force of a skateboard rolling down the sidewalk is primarily due to the push-off force provided by the skater's foot. Additionally, factors such as gravity, friction between the wheels and the sidewalk, and air resistance also contribute to the overall force propelling the skateboard forward.


What is the difference between steel wheel skateboards and rubber wheel skateboards?

rubber wheels are much better. They are smoother, and newer than steel wheel skateboards. Steel wheel skateboards are old. They were around a long time ago.


How do skateboards move?

The wheels allow them to move. If you look at a skateboard it has wheels.


How do wheels reduce friction?

Wheels reduce friction by creating rolling motion instead of sliding motion. This reduces the amount of surface contact and friction between the wheel and the ground. Additionally, wheels can distribute the weight more evenly, further decreasing friction.


How does the use of car brakes reduce friction?

When car brakes are applied, they create friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This friction slows down the wheels, reducing the car's speed.

They were lucky enough to have wheels. -.-


Where is friction a problem on a skateboard?

For a skateboard, friction works between the wheels of the board and the axis, as well as between the wheels of the board and the ground when the board is in motion. Since friction works in a direction opposing motion, it is only in effect when the when the board or the wheels of the board are in motion.


What are the two types of friction that affect a mousetrap car?

The two types of friction that affect a mousetrap car are rolling friction, which occurs between the wheels and the surface of the ground, and sliding friction, which occurs between the axles and the wheels. Both types of friction can reduce the overall efficiency and speed of the mousetrap car.

because the wheels roll,and without the wheels then the bottom of the dresser would just slide and create static electricty,also know as,friction!:)
