Answer:

(Example Person) has to push hard to get the skateboard started, but once it begins moving, it takes much less effort to keep it rolling over the smooth, flat pavement. In fact, if (Example Person) tries to stop the rolling skateboard, it may take as much effort to stop it as it did to start it rolling in the first place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)
