1. Explain in your own words how friction affects the acceleration of an object sliding down an inclined plane.
2. A box is placed on an inclined plane. List all the forces acting on the box and draw a free body diagram showing these forces.
3. A 10 kg box is resting on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 25° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.4, will the box slide down the plane? Explain your reasoning.
