Kamala puts on inline skates and stands facing a wall. When she pushes against the wall, she rolls backward.Why does pushing harder make her roll faster?

A
The force of friction between the wheels and the ground decreases.
B
The force of the wall pushing on her increases.
C
The additional force decreases her weight.
D
The extra force causes an increase of the normal force from the ground.
