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.

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.

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:
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.

A hover board and rider of total mass 80 kg is moving at 1 m/s
and encounters a slope of angle 2°. 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. 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. Radius of wheels = 100mm

The weight of the rider and hoverboard mg does negative work and is
conservative (PE: mgh)
The normal contact force, Nidoes zero work since perpendicular to motion (unconservative)
The static friction for FR does zero work since there is no slip and no motion
between the wheels and the ground (unconservative)
The driving torque, Tm does positive work and is unconservative.
We assume the wheels of the hoverboard roll without slipping therefore
the velocity Y = Wr. This is the constraint to the motion.
Since there are unconservative forces doing work we will
use the Work - Energy Equation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa4efc2a5-039b-466f-b774-04edf61d54e8%2F5ff4e917-0107-4c45-a3ac-9ce1c38cacbc%2Fbd1ghl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

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?
