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 force slows a skateboard when a skateboarder puts a foot down to brake?
The friction between the foot and the ground creates a force that opposes the motion of the skateboard, causing it to slow down. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the skateboard into thermal energy.
What forces are acting on a moving skateboard?
The main forces acting on a moving skateboard are friction with the ground, air resistance, and the force applied by the skater to propel the skateboard forward. Additionally, there may be gravitational forces affecting the vertical motion of the skateboard.
What can stop a skateboard on a flt surface?
A skateboard can be stopped on a flat surface by using your foot to drag and slow down, or by using the skateboard's tail to perform a manual stop. Additionally, you can also use friction from the ground by letting the wheels come to a gradual stop.
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 happens to the kinetic energy of a skateboard that is coasting along a flat surface slows downand comes to a stop?
As the skateboard slows down and comes to a stop, the kinetic energy is transferred into other forms, mainly heat and sound. Friction between the wheels and the surface, as well as air resistance, cause the skateboard's kinetic energy to be dissipated as heat and sound energy.
Does waxing your skateboard increase friction?
the wheels, ya.
If you stand on a skateboard and push off the ground with one of your feet the reason that the skateboard moves forward is that the force you apply to the skateboard equals what?
friction
What makes a skateboard fast or slow?
the friction between the wheels and the surface of the ground affect the speed of the skateboard. fo instance if you ride the skateboard on a smooth surface (with less friction) the skateboard will go faster.
What force slows a skateboard when a skateboarder puts a foot down to brake?
The friction between the foot and the ground creates a force that opposes the motion of the skateboard, causing it to slow down. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the skateboard into thermal energy.
What kind of energy conversions happen when you skateboard?
friction, heat, kinematic
What causes skateboard speed to increase or decrease?
Gravity, friction, or wind drag.

What force slows a skateboard when a skateboarder puts a foot down to break?
Inertia
How can a skateboard do what it does?
This is a mighty vague question, but I'll give it a shoot. A skateboard has wheels - when these wheels are acted upon by a force (such as you pushing it), they proceed to take the energy from that force and change it into centrifugal and centripetal forces- this causes the wheels on your skateboard to turn. Your skateboard won't roll indefinitely from 1 push because while your skateboard is rolling it is creating friction with the sidewalk you're skateboarding on. Friction is caused when 2 objects rub up against each other - this creates heat and a transfer of kinetic energy. Once all the kinetic energy has been transferred from your skateboard's wheels to the sidewalk, your skateboard come to a stop.
Is friction a problem?
no of Corse not
What are the effects of a lubricant of the speed of a skateboard?
Using a lubricant on a skateboard can significantly reduce friction between the wheels and the bearings, allowing for smoother and faster rides. This decrease in friction can lead to increased speed, as the skateboard rolls more freely with less resistance. However, excessive lubrication might attract dirt and debris, which could negatively impact performance over time. Proper application and maintenance of lubricants are essential for optimal results.
