Friction on Inclines
Grade 10•45 minutes
Learning Objective
I can predict whether an object will slide down an inclined plane based on the angle, the coefficient of friction, and the object's weight.
Practice Questions
This lesson includes 7 practice questions to reinforce learning.

1. Define the coefficient of friction and explain how it affects the force of friction between two surfaces.
2. Explain why the normal force on an inclined plane is equal to mg cos θ, not just mg.
3. A block is placed on an inclined plane. Describe the conditions under which the block will remain stationary, even with no friction.
