However, I don't understand why the Force of Friction is going in the same direction as the displacement by doing positive e work and also why is not considered in the calculations. Here is the problem: A hover board and rider of total mass 80 kg is moving at 1 m/s and encounters a slope of angle 2o. After moving a distance of 10 m up the slope the linear velocity of the hover board is 2 m/s. An electric motor, which is connected to the axle between the two wheels, produces a driving torque acting on the axle. The total moment of inertia of the two wheels, the axle and the motor is 0.02 kgm2. The wheels have a radius of 100 mm. If the wheels, axle and motor rotate through an angle of 100 radians during the motion find the magnitude of driving torque acting on the axle.
Hi,
I have the solution for this problem given. However, I don't understand why the Force of Friction is going in the same direction as the displacement by doing positive e work and also why is not considered in the calculations. Here is the problem:

Hi,
I am still not sure I am understanding this correctly. The hoverboard is moving in the same direction as the friction force, but technically the friction force should be opposite to the direction of motion of the object. I am sorry to bother you, could you please try to explain this further?
