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 object on an inclined plane is equal to mg cosθ, where θ is the angle of the incline.
3. An object is placed on an inclined plane. Describe the two components of the gravitational force acting on the object and their respective directions.
