Inclined Planes and Friction
Unknown Grade•45 minutes
Learning Objective

1. Define the term "coefficient of friction" and explain how it affects the friction force between two surfaces.
2. Explain why the normal force on an object on an inclined plane is not equal to the object's weight (mg).
3. A box is placed on an inclined plane. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the box. Label each force.
