Patinaje sobre hielo

The video explains the basics of ice skating, highlighting the initial challenges and the fun aspect once mastered. It describes the smooth surface of ice rinks, which allows skaters to glide easily due to low friction. The video contrasts this with rough surfaces like cement, which have high friction, aiding in grip for walking or running. It emphasizes the importance of smooth surfaces for skating, as they reduce friction and facilitate gliding.

Why do we want ice skates to glide on the ice?

How do smooth surfaces affect the movement of skaters?
