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

1. Explain in your own words how the angle of an inclined plane affects the component of gravity acting parallel to the plane.
2. A block is at rest on an inclined plane. What must be true about the relationship between the force of static friction and the component of gravity acting parallel to the plane?
3. How does the coefficient of friction between an object and an inclined plane affect the force of friction? Explain your reasoning.
