Title: What takes more energy walking or skateboarding?
Post by: JennyGracie on 08/02/2019 15:34:30

David wants to know,

Over a distance of 100 m on a flat surface, which would take more energy, 1) walking or 2) on a skateboard?

What do you think?

Depends how fast each is going...  :D

If they are going the same speed, then skateboarding should take much less energy (wheels are quite efficient).
