Answer 1

There’s static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction. Static friction is the strongest type, like trying to push a big box across the floor. Once that box starts moving, it gets easier, right? That’s sliding friction, weaker than static.

If your wheels lose grip with the ground, for example by spinning wheels too fast, (in either direction) you’re now sliding and have less friction overall. Which means you can’t stop or control yourself as well.
