How does friction affect the maximum speed of a skater?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the options

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

no options

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

you have to write it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well inertia is one thing but with friction you need more of a flat surface because inertia make the scooter slower so its a little help from gravity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on if you need some more help there is a video http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/forces-and-motion/fgravity-and-inertia.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it talks about friction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wrong video

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here watch this and you will get you answer perfect http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/forces-and-motion/force-and-motion.htm

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

i dont see how either of those answers my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the first video is was the wrong like the second video talks all about friction

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

i dont see how that answers my question though

OpenStudy (shaswatrajput):

Well, friction will reduce the maximum speed of skater by \[\mu*mg \] times
