1. Explain the forces acting on an object sliding down a snowy mountain inclined at an angle θ. Include the roles of gravitational force, normal force, and friction.
2. A box weighing 50 kg is sliding down a snowy incline at a constant speed. If the incline makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, calculate the force of friction acting on the box.
3. Describe how the coefficient of kinetic friction can be determined for an object sliding down an inclined plane. What factors influence this coefficient?
