1. Explain in your own words how friction affects the motion of an object on an inclined plane.
2. A box is placed on an inclined plane. Describe the steps you would take to draw a free body diagram for the box, including all relevant forces.
3. A block slides down an inclined plane at a constant speed. What does this tell you about the relationship between the force of kinetic friction and the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline?
