Gravity affects skateboards just like it does with everything else. A great Basketball player can only hang in the air for so long before he can dunk the ball, but the factor of gravity depends on the speed that the ball player was traveling when he left the ground. Now with Skateboarding, the more speed you have, and the amount of pop you deliver in the ollie will depend on how high you get on the speed will help with the gravity and you can stay in the air longer. but like we have already heard, what goes up, must come down.

What force slows a skateboard when a skateboard puts a foot down to brake?
gravity
What force slows a skateboard down when skateboard puts a foot down to brake?
gravity
Is it impossible to skateboard on the moon?
Yes, it is impossible to skateboard on the moon due to the lack of atmosphere and gravity. Without gravity to keep the skateboarder grounded and friction from the lack of atmosphere, it would be difficult to maneuver and maintain balance on a skateboard.
What causes skateboard speed to increase or decrease?
Gravity, friction, or wind drag.
Does the type of surface affect the distance of a skateboard?
yes it does
What forces are on a moving skateboard?
A moving skateboard experiences several forces: the force of gravity pulls it downward, while the normal force from the ground acts upward, countering gravity. Friction between the skateboard wheels and the surface affects its motion, resisting movement and eventually slowing it down. Additionally, if the skateboard is turning or accelerating, centripetal force and applied forces from the rider's movements come into play. These forces interact to influence the skateboard's speed and direction.
What keeps a skateboard in the air?
Upthrust pulls u up and gravity pulls you down
How does a height of a skatebaord affect a skateboard when it goes down a half pipe?
no
Does the weight on a skateboard affect how far it will go from the top of the hill?
yes
How does gravity affect a person's height or stature?
Does gravity affect a person's height and why?
Does weight on a skateboard affect how fast it travels?
Yes, the weight on a skateboard can affect how fast it travels. A heavier rider may require more force to accelerate and maintain speed compared to a lighter rider. Additionally, the overall weight of the skateboard setup (including the skateboard and rider) can impact the efficiency of the board's movement.
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.
