Friction on Inclines
Unknown Grade•45 minutes
Learning Objective
I can predict whether an object will slide down an inclined plane based on the angle of the incline and the coefficient of friction.

1. List the forces acting on an object resting on an inclined plane with friction. For each force, briefly describe its direction.
2. Explain how the angle of the incline affects the component of gravity acting parallel to the plane (mg sin θ).
3. How does the coefficient of friction (μ) influence the magnitude of the friction force acting on an object on an inclined plane?
