It is advisable to learn about inertia to understand how the physics of stopping can be applied to skateboarding
It is worth noting that for all vehicles that travel on wheels (such as cars bicycles and skateboards),
the sum of rolling resistance and static friction is what causes the vehicle or object to slow when the brakes are applied
The actual force applied in braking (for example, calipers applied to disc brakes) is internal,
And by Newton's First Law cannot cause a change in the vehicle's motion. However, this is a paradox because the previous sentence would imply that brakes do nothing.
In fact, the force does slow down a vehicle because they were designed to do so.
According to this paradoxical sentence the slowing is caused by contact between the road and the car's tires; the static friction force between road and tire is the equal and opposite reaction specified in Newton's Third Law.
Rolling resistance can be compared to sliding friction, as when the brakes lock up, or you drag the bottom of your shoe to slow your skateboard ,your shoes or the car wheels slide upon the driving surface and do not slow the skateboard or car as effectively as possible.
Maximum braking force occurs when there is about 11% slip between the wheel's speed and the road
This is used to advantage in ABS braking systems, and cadence braking, a manual technique which achieves something similar.
