The conversation between human and AI assistant.
You push backward against the ground to move a skateboard forward. The force you make acts against the ground. What force acts against you to move you forward?
That makes sense. So, is there a way to increase the force of friction?
Yes, there are a few things you can do to increase the force of friction. First, you can make sure your wheels are clean and free of debris, as this can reduce the amount of surface area in contact with the ground. Secondly, you can use softer wheels, as they will grip the ground better. Finally, you can adjust your weight distribution on the board to put more weight on the back wheels, increasing the force of friction.
