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 frictional force between two surfaces.
2. Draw a free-body diagram of a block on an inclined plane with friction. Label all forces acting on the block, including the force of gravity, the normal force, and the force of friction.
3. Explain why the normal force on an object on an inclined plane is not equal to the object's weight (mg).
