1. Define the coefficient of kinetic friction and explain its role in determining whether an object will slide down an inclined plane.
2. An object is placed on an inclined plane. List the forces acting on the object and describe the direction of each force.
3. Explain why the normal force on an inclined plane is typically *not* equal to the object's weight.
