1. Explain in your own words how friction affects the motion of an object on an inclined plane.
2. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces acting on a block of mass *m* on an inclined plane with friction. Label each force.
3. A box is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of 45°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 0.5. Will the box slide down the plane? Explain your reasoning.
