Plate sliding on ice with friction (Physics competition question)

[QUOTE="jack action, post: 6850665, member: 240508"] But, if I understood correctly: The static friction force between the plate and the ice would be much greater than the front wheel rolling resistance (and its equivalent friction force acting on top of the plate) and thus the plate wouldn't move with only the front wheel on the plate. When both wheels will be on the plate, then the net horizontal force on top of the plate will be equivalent to the drag force, most likely pushing the plate backward. (Assuming the drag force is greater than the plate-ice static friction force.) When only the rear wheel is on the plate, the net force increases to the sum of the drag force and the front wheel rolling resistance. [/QUOTE]
