Will a skateboard go faster if you push it with the same force for a longer time?

Yes. The force is measured as "acceleration" and is meters per second per second (or velocity per second) or the first derivative of velocity.
On a frictionless surface in an environment without air resistance, and if the skateboard is a frictionless mechanism, if the skateboard is moving at a constant velocity, that means the acceleration is zero, which means that there is no force being applied to it and it is a body in motion staying in motion.

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 is the force a skateboard exerts on you if your mass is 60k and you push on the skateboard with a force of 60n?
The force the skateboard exerts on you would be equal and opposite to the force you exert on the skateboard, according to Newton's third law. Therefore, the skateboard would exert a force of 60N on you.
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.
If you stand next to a wall on a frictionless skateboard and push the wall with a force of 40 N how hard does the wall push on you?
The wall will push back on you with a force of 40 N, according to Newton's third law of motion.
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 are the forces act on a skateboard?
The main forces acting on a skateboard are gravitational force pulling it downward, normal force exerted by the ground upward, frictional force opposing its motion, and air resistance when moving. Additionally, the skater applies a force to propel the skateboard forward and can use their body to maneuver and balance it.
What motions occur on a skateboard?
Kick, Push
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.
Why would a cart start moving faster if you gave it a hard push than if you gave it a soft push?
A hard push applies more force to the cart, which causes it to accelerate faster due to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). In contrast, a soft push imparts less force on the cart, resulting in slower acceleration.
Why would a cart start moving faster if you gave it hard push than if you gave it a soft push?
When u push the cart,u apply some force on the cart which does the work(the cart moves). The movement of the cart is the work done due to the application of the force you.
Is force a push or a pull?
Force can be either a push or a pull. When you push a door open or pull a rope, you are applying a force in that direction.
Why would a cart start moving faster if you gave it a hard push than a soft push?
Giving the cart a hard push imparts more momentum and kinetic energy to it compared to a soft push, causing it to accelerate faster. The increased force from the hard push accelerates the cart more quickly due to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).
