Friction on Inclines
Unknown Grade•45 minutes
Learning Objective
I can predict the motion of an object on an inclined plane by analyzing the forces, including friction, acting upon it.
Practice Questions
This lesson includes 7 practice questions to reinforce learning.

1. Define the term "coefficient of friction" and explain how it affects the force of friction between two surfaces.
2. Explain why the normal force on an object on an inclined plane is not always equal to the object's weight (mg). Under what conditions *is* it equal to the object's weight?
3. 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.
