Dominique Giorla Science =Skateboarding=

Skateboarding is one of my favorite hobbies. Science relates to Skateboarding very well if you think about it. First off, gravity and movement is applied in Skateboarding. Gravity keeps you on the ground to skateboard. And when you need to increase nmovement you push gravity so your movement increases forward. Next off, you also see friction when Skateboarding as well. While you're skating the wheels and the ground create friction, eventually stopping the skateboard from moving forward. Finally, Newton's First Law of Motion is applied in this sport. To explain, An object in motion or at rest will stay that way unless acted on by an unbalanced force. This is what the law states. In this situation, the skateboard would keep on going if not acted on by an unbalanced force(friction). To conclude, Skateboarding is a fun hobby and is involved with Science greatly.
