You don't need to push off with a foot against the ground to start

a skateboard rolling down a bank. Does this violate Newton's

first law of motion? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, it does not violate Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that, "A body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight unless acted up by a force to make it act otherwise" This means a force is required to initiate movement and also required to halt it.

For a skate positioned to roll down a bank, Here, the force of gravity acting on the skate acting downward will make the skate roll without having to push off the skate with a foot. Because the position of the skate doesn't balance the Gravitational force acting on it. Hence. The Gravitational force is enough to set the skate in motion.
