1. Explain the role of the normal force in determining the force of friction on an object sliding down an inclined plane.
2. A 30 kg mass is placed on an incline at an angle of 45°. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3, calculate the force of friction acting on the mass.
3. Describe how the angle of the incline affects the acceleration of an object sliding down the plane, considering both the gravitational force and the frictional force.
